We are going back to Sandy Beach in Rio Vista, CA. This is our annual practice run and food fest before Thanksgiving.
It's a pot-luck, and I'll be roasting a turkey on-site. Electrical outlets will be available for people with hot pots and such,
A few more things: last year, the reservation section of the park's web site was a bit dodgy, and senior discounts weren't on the menu there. (Note that the URL is different from last year. Now it's https://parkreservations.solanocounty.com/index_C5.asp) If you qualify, go ahead and reserve your spot at the going rate, and make contact with the park by phone to arrange a refund of part of the fee. The point is to grab your spot first, and settle the bill later.
The second thing: Note that all reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance of the date, and no "first-come-first-served" sites are provided anymore. But if you're late, look for the people willing to share a spot and hitch up with them.
Third, all sites have electricity FOR FREE. Bring your electric heaters if you think you need them. (If you don't have one and need one, let me know and I'll bring one for you.)
Brett made a little video about what kind of adapter you need if you want to use the AC outlets that are at every site (FOR FREE!). Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOF7aCUfwZ0
Lastly, be aware that there are wild critters (raccoons, feral cats, etc.) that will go into any open camper that you're not around. So be sure to keep your doors closed.
Party Central will be at site #4. Bring food, wine, and wood (wood probably won't be available on-site).
As usual, I'll share my spot with another camper, and encourage you to to the same.
