Hi Htr, will you be camping by yourself or with any others? Just trying to approximate a headcount, eventually! Thanks, Kris

I will try and confirm you you about the dogs. I got a call back today, camping near anthracite will not be available this year. So it's looking like friday night at Rausch. We'll need to come up with a place for saturday night.

Hi DD, will you be camping by yourself or with any others? Just trying to approximate a headcount, eventually! and you are only looking at saturday night, correct? Thanks, Kris

yeah, it will be sketchy, and that's ok, just want to figure whether it is best to take the group area or what...

I'll be camping both nights, one tent.

Thanks V! I will try to hammer out the details of the camp site and will get back to you. Headcount is important also, are you likely to be by yourself? Kris

she will be sending me a short outline of ppl's options via email (she was not at her computer at the moment) but she is planning on the group space for us which will only be $5 a head!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't believe it!!! if anyone wants a site, she will be sending me the info (its like $30/night for electric/water and $25/night for non, i think) i offered to send a deposit, but she felt good enough about talking with me, she said not necessary (for the group space)...so just wait til i receive her options info before posting , but know that we have grounds to camp on for that fri and sat night!!! i asked about having a campfire and bringing wood, she said np bringing wood, but there was lots of kindling and some sort of downed tree/logs near the group area available to burn...i hate to think it, but is this sounding too good to be true!! lol!! i explained how we are casual, no need to be entertained or hand held, want to trail during the day and campfire at night...i would like to think about doing group breakfast sunday by planning ahead (i am a production type person and love to bring stuff to produce breakfast at the campfire!) what does it take, OJ, pancake batter, butter and maple syrup??? oh and coffee!!!!!!!

ok, so thats all the news fit to print at this hour!!

Looking good. This place wasn't on the list of campgrounds that Aoaa provided me, so either his places is the campground equivalent of the Bates motel, or it will be a diamond in the rough. We should definitely save the big breakfast for Sunday, so we're not late for Aoaa again.

I'd like to be included in the group. Right now I'm a definite for Saturday night and maybe for Friday, just have to get some one to cover for me at work on Friday and am waiting on responses from co-workers.

Ok still planning out my trip home cause its going to be tight. I'll probably be interested in camping friday night as well because i don't want to drive 3 hours saturday morning. But looks like I will be driving to 2k miles home on my M/Ts which I didn't really want to do, but I don't think I'll be able to rotate my tires in time for AOAA if I get back Friday. Yay for crappy gas mileage and the constant lullaby of knobby tires . But i'm still siked for AOAA
