Yes, it means staying Sunday night.

Last Year, we paid for the last (extra) night's camping just so we wouldn't have to bug out by noon. Hahaha, we barely beat the sun in finally leaving camp. But we had an activity planned that day which we won't on Monday.

HOWEVER: And not to seek lightning striking twice ... one of the best meals and best times of last year's Swank Camp was Garbage Eggs Breakfast and Gluttonous Bacon Fest ... where we threw almost every leftover foodstuff into omelettes and cooked up 90% of the literally pounds of bacon that were brought to the Sierras by the swankers.


We could eat the bacon at any time, but Garbage Eggs and the relaxed feeling of nothing particular to do was inimitable and fantastic, and can only be done on the last morning.

You won't get that feeling if you have to bug out by noon. I'd like to bug out by 2 or 3, and I wouldn't mind paying the extra night for that luxury.

There should be plenty of stoves to go around, so if you want to borrow and save the bucks, you should be fine.

Susan and I are going up Wednesday in some form I believe and coming back on Monday.

How strict are they on the timing thing? Especially for a Monday, I wonder if one could stretch it until 2 or 3 without having to sweat paying for the extra day? What is the demand for a Monday entry?

Well, since you apparently leave your money in a box, I wonder if there is any Adult Supervision at all.



I guess we'll find out Sunday morning, after our usual Saturday Night party keeps everyone else in camp awake till dawn.

They've got lists of when each license plates are supposed to be gone and drive through a couple times a day. But if we hang out and they happen upon us, I imagine the worst they'll do is make us pay the $18.

I just bought a six and a half pound package of bacon.

Cool, so we have breakfast covered for you and I; what about everyone else?

they're on their own.

I'm feeling generally antsy and will probably be looking for an excuse to get away after a likely stressful first week in my new position. If I were to drop in for a stealth visit, would there be any objections?

No promises (I might very well leave the house intending to go down there and then get distracted by an attractive random left turn), just curious. I wouldn't be part of any team or anything.

come one, come all!

Except the Irish. WE DON'T WANT THE IRISH.
