Okay podders all our reserved sites are now full. If you're still interested there may be sites open elsewhere in the park, so don't be afraid to call. The newest map is posted below. Another possible fun activity has come to my attention: 
Paddle for Pints, a microbrewery tour via kayak. There are 3 tours during our ERU, kayaks are available for rent if needed. Details below.

We are looking forward to this!  Am curious as to how many of you are taking vacation time off work to attend this or are most retired, OR am I just asking a dumb question? :)

Retired. We're planning to meander north up the coast to a couple of different campgrounds immediately after the roundup.

3 more years for me as a golf course superintendent and then retirement at the age of 64.  My wife would rather me retire earlier and I know my body is telling me to back off, getting aches and pains I have never experienced before.  One of my brothers retired at 51 so I guess I have to put in a few more years to balance things out.
