Event Description

On March 31, 1965, I almost died. Every day since then has been a day I didn't deserve. It's been a gift, and I've had almost fifty years of them. I'd like to celebrate these gifts with some other gifts I've been given over the years ... the friendships I've collected from some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure to know.  

I'll bring the Tent of Doom and wine. You bring wine, wood, and you sweet selves.

No worries booking the site, John.  Prolly a coupla two three maybe four oughta do it. 

If any Volk out there is coming for Saturday night, maybe try for 34.  

To add some info about Del Valle, from April 1st, the back two sections open up, historically.  Wasn't quite sure for this year due to month-to-month water rationing.  In the future we can bend an eye that way and maybe try out some sites in the 65-90 section.  I have always likes the 76-79 part.  

April can still be iffy on weather.  We do have the Tent of Sir John, Tent of Sir Peter and now the Tent of Sir Regis.  I also have enough camo tarpage to ward off any delugial moisture.  Delugial?  Is that a word?  Not delusional.  I already that in my resume'.

peace,

Nice spot .  Under the trees.  Only downfall is that its a low spot when raining.

You'll be fine.  Glad you chimed in.

20 and 21 are under huge sycamore trees.  What usually happens is that the leaves fall and fills the space.  When April comes around all should be well.  I normally tote a rake and broom so you'll be fine.

Watch out for the raccoons in the trees. They like to join in the fun.

This whole exercise got me planning out my entire 2015 camping season. I have made it through July but am still figuring out the rest.

Hopefully there's no widow makers in those trees!
