Comment by Joe on October 18, 2011 at 11:26am: Hats are not worth much. I suggest that we pass the buck.

Comment by westywoman (Melissa) on October 18, 2011 at 11:34am: So are folks reserving sites by phone? If so, anyone got a site number yet? Anyone throwing down for a "premium" spot by the Putah Creek?

Comment by Patricia Reed on October 18, 2011 at 2:22pm: I'm planning on calling to reserve a spot for Sat. night. Is there an area that we have already picked out? Melissa you get your spot yet?

Comment by Joe on October 18, 2011 at 2:39pm: We will be in the upper area of sites, away from Putah Creek.

Comment by Blake on October 18, 2011 at 2:42pm: Good call, in the upper area availability will be much easier.

Comment by Patricia Reed on October 18, 2011 at 2:42pm: Ok, just called and they said it will be 1st come 1st serve. At this time they only have 6 sites reserved for the whole campground. See you Saturday!

Using this map link, I think the best place for us to group together are sites are 18 through 29. This is on the upper portion of the campground. There are no hookups and usually nobody around. (Read cheap sites nobody reserves them)

Comment by Scott & Karla on October 18, 2011 at 6:19pm: Count us in, arriving Saturday around 5-6:00pm.

Comment by Swiftriver on October 18, 2011 at 9:33pm: Winters works for me.... It's a little closer... I'll roll in sometime on Friday.

Brian.
