No, the poll is to determine the location of Swank Camp. I will still get up at crack of dawn to help make reservations.
Frankly, I don't think it should come to me to lay out the money this year at all. But it seemed to me that the drop-dead reservation deadline was fast approaching, and so I revived the camping thread. I don't mind taking the bull by the horns on this effort, but it's a stretch for me to advance the $600 until late June ... and yeah, I'm only inspired to lay out that kind of money for the camping trip I wanted to take.
Sorry if that comes off like a threat, but it's the way I feel considering my personal financial situation.
I'd like to participate in Swank Camp either way. And you can be sure I'll be one of the guys to pay up immediately if someone else fronts the money.
But I'm really only giddy enough to lay out $600 for the next 5 months if we're taking newbies to Yosemite. That's a personal passion of mine, completely separate and apart from Swank Camp.
Can participants pledge to repay the advance by the end of February? If so, I'll lay out the money to camp at the Anaheim RV Park for all I care. But five months is a long time.
