Load them up! Move them out! Time to pack up and head for West Virginia. As you can see from the map Ray has moved the campground and agreed to take us with him. The new campground is on Sunday Road just down the road from Mountain River Tours. Head to MRT, keep going, turn LEFT. Say hi to Ray and Dren, pay them $7/night for each night you will be there, and come join the fun! It will be obvious where we are. Drive Safe! See you there!
Activities: As usual these are semi-organized at best and participation is always voluntary.
And now a word from a past organizer:
Are you tired of drinking the same old beer, wine, cider, mead, and port at the raft trip? How about Tequila? Ed Bronson
will host a 100% Agave Tequila and Mezcal tasting. We’re talking sipping tequila here - no limes, no salt, no worms.
Probably Saturday evening. Curious? For more information, contact Ed at ed@bronson.org.
Speaking of beer: Bring a case of your favorite, interesting, weird, or just local beer and add it to the group beer cooler. In exchange, you can drink anything you find clutched in your half-frozen hand when it emerges from the cooler.
Or is chocolate more your style? Bring chocolate, preferably truffles from some place local to home (they freeze well), or good quality solid chocolate and your favorite bottle of port. In the past this happened on a few different nights or until we ran out of chocolate. I get to camp Thursday night. I hope they don’t start without me.
Entertainment: We are a no radio/tape/CD zone. We make our own fun. This means songs, skits, interpretive dance, and other assorted truly inspired bits of nonsense. Piglets are not exempt! Most of this will take place Sunday and Monday nights. If I don't get volunteers, I can always do readings from last 18 inch thick submittal by the project-from-hell. Or young Aaron can sing Jimmy Buffet's "Volcano". He's not proud and he doesn't get tired.
Some serious stuff: There has been concern in the last year or so with dogs in the campground. If your dog is a veteran of these trips with a clean record, they're welcome. If your dog doesn't do well with noise, small children, or general chaos, please leave them home.
