I'm pretty sure we have a tent someone could borrow as well. I'm almost positive I saw it downstairs a few weeks back.

Joe, are you going now? You voted, but I thought you had to work??

As far as bringing tents, I know that many of us have big enough tents or one person per tent so there is room to share. But, not many have commented so I am a bit scared to reserve the spot but I assume many are coming and too busy to post at this time.

Jay, maybe you could put me in a first post so I can keep it updated with current info? Not sure how that works or if you can, but I would keep it updated if we know.

I will reserve no. 4 option. It seems the most liked and I like the fact that they have boat rentals as well. :)

Yippee Skippy!

I'm glad someone posted in here, it reminded me to say WTF IS GOING ON?! Who is in charge of this event? Because at this point it's epic fail. Someone needs to take charge and get this shit going because I want to GO CAMPING!! WOOOOO lol. So yeah anyone? I don't really want to organize another trip, its a lot of work lol.
I can't believe after a post like this.................you have a new job and might not come................LAME! You tell new job that you have plans already and need the time off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Date? Check! (August 8-10)
Campground? Check! (http://www.camppla-mor.com/)

Now we just need to start getting a good solid list of attendees. The sooner you can RSVP, the sooner Jess (aka Captain Campin) can get our reservations nailed down.

The campground is near Winona, MN and it should be a nice 2-2.5 hour drive along the mississippi to get there. I'll keep this post updated as details roll in.

List of attendees
1. Jess (hot ice) and Crista (friend)
2. Jay (dmention7) and Nanami ("special" friend)
3. Josh (mazdamn02) and Shelly (almost wife)

Do we know what kind of cost we will be looking at for the campsite? or is it going to be dependant on how many people go? Is there an option to stay 1 night instead of 2?

Yeah, all you need is that friday afternoon off! And that's just if you want to join the caravan. You could head down anytime.

It is $25 per night per tent for 2 people. $3 extra per person above that. So, if you get bunk mates or become one, work it out with them...or we will do a total cost and split it up equally once we know. It shouldn't be more than $25 or so for the weekend for the camping portion, and that is on the high end. As soon as all have signed up and committed, we can get the exact price. :)

I'll be there assuming my new job doesn't require me to be out of town or on call that weekend.

Well $50 for the weekend if I'm paying for my own tent / not bringing someone along + gas + food + some new camping toys :) cost wise it shouldn't be a problem though. I'm not worried about getting friday afternoon off but oncall concerns me, I don't suspect I could be put oncall that fast but I don't want to commit to anything till I know for sure.

Ok, reservations have been made. We have the grassy group tent camping area near the shelter. He said there are showers on the other side of the campground for those of you that want them.

**Pontoon boat rental:
2 hours (min) $50 plus gas
1/2 day, 4 hours $80 plus gas
1 full day, 8 hours $150 plus gas
***Tell me if you want to rent a pontoon! I told them I would call by Friday with our decision!!!


Please sign up as soon as you know so we can work out the price. As far as I see it, $25 per night per two people per tent. It is only $3 per night to add an adult in your tent. So, if someone wants to bunk up together, work it out between you, I suppose. There is room in my tent for a single mattress and one person if someone is interested in bunking with two (most likely drunk) girls. ;)

This one in on the Mississippi River near Winona. There would be room for at least six tents. There is water and limited power available at the shelter. The cost is $25 per tent and covers 2 adults. Additional people over 10 years old are $3 each. This one also has many activities.

**Jay, could you include this on the first page please? Somehow... :)

Jess, thanks for all the work that you've put in!

I'd definately be in for the pontoon for like half a day. How many people can that thing fit? 10?
