    Maybe those of us who grew up spending summers at Y-camps are better equipped to deal with “rustic” facilities and cabins, I don’t know.
    I spent more than 365 days in a tent before I turned 18. I’m too old for that sh!t now.

    @thetrim - You are correct in that I will sponsor the brown water but only because it will be a donation thru you after Navy kicks Army's A$$ Dec 8th.  =)

    @lousubcap if that actually happens, as unlikely as it is, then I am doing the sponsoring.  My only hope, and that of many others on here, would be that you'll be there to enjoy it with us!

    That was WAY before the blow up mattress was invented.

    Hope you can join in Frank. Maybe @CTMike will join us again?  I’m also trying to talk a former ELT that I work with to head down for the event. The guy bought an egg last spring and we talk shop a lot.

    Agreed. I thought I was living large when those came about.

    @lkapigian - sorry checking in on this late, but as others have mentioned, RVshare.com is what I used to arrange for a camper at the park. 

    The owner delivered and set it up for us, and picked it up on Sun after BB. Very smooth deal. We rented a camper through RVshare when we camped in Oregon this summer as well.

    I would insist on a Prevost, and I didn't see any of those on rvshare....   I like tent camping more anyway.

    I doubt you would enjoy the $2,000 a night rental charge much.

    Weather is supposed to bad then.  Do you have a makeup day?

    We’ve been *very* lucky with weather at this event every year.  Eventually we’ll have a rainout, and I think the backup plan consists of hanging out in Yukon’s camper and drinking bourbon slushies while housing beef tenderloin sliders.  
    Bad weather and the resulting improvisation will create some really good stories I bet. Party on gents.

    This is NC Oz, we man up around here. Where we are, the men are the men and some of the women are too. The show must go on!

    Now that is a plan. We will have an RV with an awning, and we bring a canopy every year, others do as well, so we can get them all together, and should be ok.
    Just no rainwater in Robin's bloodies or fresh squeezed grapefruit and Tito's, that would be a disaster.
