I'm a maybe.

SkyPainter, i went and checked out the sites. The ones on the water are booked solid. I think sites 105, 106,107,108 are awesome for hammocking- open with lots of space and plenty of trees. I will reserve 105. it's $12/site/night. Perhaps someone can book 107?

HammockPete- i highlighted all the potential hammocking sites if you want I can PM to you for your Labor Day trip, let me know.

===> sun shower, I just reserved site #107 for three nights, Aug 16-18, Sat-Sun, for four adults and two cars (the max allowed). If we need another site, I will book that too if we think we need it.

This should be fun!

Best,

I booked 108 for Saturday night only, the farthest one out. If you need an extra site, please feel free to book it Friday and we will work it out for Saturday. I am sure there are enough trees that it won't be a problem and you won't have to move. If we get that many interested's.

We should try to take advantage of the invitation to camp at Mt. Cardigan sometime too. It is a beautiful area and not too far. I can get you there Chaaz if the travel is going to be an issue. Glad to!

I don't know how you get the two threads merged in this forum, but we should do it so folks don't get confused. Having the proper header so folks know when was a great idea.

Since i can only come for Friday night, I'll reserve 108 tonight (if it is open) for Friday night. My buddy might come to see the hammocks (Tent guy)...

===> My daughter Ewok who may be coming to the hang has forbidden me from bringing my Banjo, too. So, no being lulled to sleep with a rendition of Foggy Mountain Breakdown! I guess we'll just have to appreciate the snoring!

Does anyone know the head count? I'm there Friday night until 7:30 am Saturday.
08-08-2013, 09:34
sunshower

looks like 9 people on Friday night, and 12 on Saturday night, some of those are possibilities.
Remember, only 2 cars per site!
We can't get there Friday night until 830 due to my 12 hour shift that day.

===> I, and maybe my daughter, Ewok, will be staying Fri, Sat, AND Sun nights. I have site 107 reserved, and paid already, for four people for all three nights. Anyone is invited to hang at our site with us, up to 4 Total, 2 cars total. We will have one car.

It's looking like I will be able to make it. Would it be possible for someone to pick me up from either the Ballardvale or North Wilmington Commuter Rail stop Friday evening? Or any other Commuter Rail stop?

If not, it's OK but it will mean I won't be getting in until ~8pm on bike.
08-08-2013, 16:53

I want to say that I will be dropped off at the campground Friday afternoon, so I wont have a car. Hope that helps someone.

I look forward to meeting you and everyone else. To bad it will be a short stay for me and I'm an early sleeper. But I will try to stay up a little late to hang out. Did I just say "hang out", that's crazy because that's what we are all going to be doing;););).

I have 108 reserved for Friday night, so that should accommodate 2 or 3 more people and maybe 1 more car:D.

PS
If you hear the Yeti calling in the middle of the night, don't be scared, he's harmless;););)...

PPS

Does anyone want me to bring them ear plugs:eek::eek::eek:???

That's great. Nathan (np3prozac) are in 1 car too so another person and car will fit on 106. We just need trees close together since we share a tarp.
