    Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it after all this weekend, so someone else can use my site if needed. It's paid for.

    Looking forward to this again. *Really* looking forward to some cooler weather too :) though we finally got a bit of a break here in DFW this weekend. Looks like I'm listed on the spreadsheet OK.

    I haven't *officially* been granted my vacation request from work yet, but my boss is out today, so I think I'm just going to assume it's OK if I go :).

    For me it's not just snoring, but those camping near me tell of hearing me talking loudly and laughing, in my sleep. Tells of some deep-seated psychological problems, I'm sure :).

    Got my reservations made, and added my name to the spreadsheet. If we run out of space, I'm willing to share, if I happen to be in a site that has enough trees. Last year I happened to get one that...

    I saw on the news last night that Fairfield got 7.5" of rain in the previous 24 hours! DFW only got about 1/10th of an inch :(.

    I'm looking forward to being there. I added myself to the spreadsheet (if I didn't screw it up) and made reservations for a Springfield site.

    Thanks for posting that link, it was fun to look at. I first slept in a hammock while growing up in Peru (a few decades ago).

    I have one canoe and 4 kayaks... so far. Kind of like hammocks, you'll have more than one eventually :).

    I had a good time, and ate way too much. Thank you all for organizing it.

    I won't make it there until tomorrow, probably in the afternoon sometime. I do have a pretty large tarp I can bring, that might help give us a protected place to gather. I'll try to bring some...

    I'll try and bring extra pfd's and paddles. I actually have 4 kayaks and a canoe, but doubt I'll be able to fit more than one or two kayaks in with my other gear.

    Are y'all making reservations for the water/electric sites? I'm thinking I may be able to try and make it.
