That's an amount that can be managed :)

Since the sites are not done by advance reservation and people may want to spread out if we have that possibility, I think that people or groups should be responsible for their own site fees. That way, I can choose 5 nights at $18 if I want or split the cost with another person, group, vehicle or whatever.

It also keeps the mess of accounting down to a per campsite transaction.

It also means the person collecting all the funds needs to arrive early enough to get all sites and also set up stuff in each site to "reserve" it until everyone else gets there.

That's precisely why I'm not volunteering. ;)

oooh, never been on a horse. sounds fun.

I believe if you're over 200 pounds, you'll have to ride a mule. (Not saying that you are or anything, but just a warning note.)

Heh. In that case, I'll need a clydesdale. ;)

If persons pay for individual sites on their way in and I know about it (it is recorded), it all works out in the end.

That is, as long as no one has a problem with me handling the accounting.

There are gay bars with no stools?

But, it still requires that person to get there early (probably before 10am), and set up gear at each site.

The other thing to account for when budget planning is the per vehicle charge to get into the National Park - $20 per vehicle for a 7 day pass.

Is there really a need to do any accounting except between people who are sharing a campsite? The only accounting that really needs to be done with through a person at a campsite and the national Park Service.


OH! And, since no one travles with a checkbook any longer, it might behoove you to bring one along. It's much easier to slip a check for the correct amount into the envelope than to try and have exact change.
