If we can only have two tents thats fiune.... I have two big tents!!!! 10x20 and 15x15 and a 10x10 so we could all just pile into those.... Also I could put the mint cap I have ( sliding screened windows) on my Pick up 8 foot box ( nice bed liner in it) and throw a queen size coleman blow up matress in there for an emergency spot for someone... plus the truck would not count against tent count...

Snafu - I really don't remember who was asking about site 45. It very well may have been you but it would take hours to sift through eleventy billion posts to find. It's there for the taking. You guys fight it out. LOL!

I'm bummed that the Phantom is moving into Tango's site. My master plan has just been foiled. ;o)

I would love to join this trip. WoundedKnee, I'll take you up on your offer. Depends what happens with my bf's schedule. If he gets a pass that weekend, I'll bail on the trip.

Ok, the trip grows and thew plot thickens. I can hear the announcments now over the loud speakers.

"It's a free concert! The New York State Thruway is closed, man!"

"And don't eat the brown acid"!!


We can go outside the loop as much as we want with sites, so there's no problem with being "filled up."

Pennsy, I wasn't sure about whether you got #45 or not. Glad you snagged it up.

Ah, the Mastermind at work --Pennsy, what's the deal with Tango's extra spot? Ya know, if you could hook me up with another spot, there just might be something in it for you...

Baltic Ave for the Boardwalk, anyone?
PhantomSoul

FYI!!!
I am going to be a true 'car camper' I plan to sleep in my SUV with a blow up mattress. So that leaves my spot open to 1 more tent unless PhantomSoul has 2.

Yep Scorchie! I read ya loud and clear!!!

Divinity,
I think I'm supposed to pick up Chili at the Syracuse Airport. If possible, could you schedule a flight around the same time? I could pick ya up too :-) Getting ya back? we will see? LOL

Shep,
The truck bed Is yours for the taking..... It is a mint cap with sliding windows with screens. It is a higher cap so the head room is excellent. And it is nice and clean :-) I could even take the spare bedroom queen matress and sheets and put them in there for ya! I will be better then the Ramada!!!

Also, the big tent who ever wants to pile in there is cool with me....This is assuming Pennsy does not evict me or us!

Good thing he got #45, right next door to party central.
Could you imagine if that was the only site we did not have and the Cleavers where camped out there??? Whoa!

Wow! If any more sign on here, I am officially renaming this trip "Woodstock West"!

LZ, hope you had a good trip! (hee hee snicker snciker!)

Divinity, I have been seriously thinking about how to work your situation. If you flew into either Newark, JFK or LaGuardia, I would be more than happy to pick you up and you could stay with us. Only problem with that planis that we are leaving for ithaca early Thursday morning and the car is virtually full. You would have to come in by Wednesday evening at the latest. If that is doable, then there is only one other hitch. How to get you to Ithaca. If anyone reading this is going to be driving from the New York area and wants a passenger (or two- Twinks may need a ride too), then please contact me.

Virtually full?

Is this real or is it something else?

Does anyone want to reserve a site with me? I won't be getting into Ithaca until some time Friday night. I didn't want to reserve a site from Friday through Sunday if someone wanted the site from Thursday through Sunday. If that makes any sense.

LZ acid head:

If you want to reserve the site, I am getting the feeling that you would be able to get one of the stragglers to pitch in with you. There seems to be an abundance of people and not enough sites booked to go around...

I will provide the most finest sleeping arangments possible for only $16.95 per nite.

Sorry the price jumped!

MOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


I forgot who sent me the e-mail yesterday (I will check it now) but I will see if I can change the site to your name, if not, it is probably no big deal. I will post all the vital information you will need to get in. (My site numbers, reservation numbers, yada yada yada)

it was I

I figured i'd go ahead and reserve a site, just in case. Its a small penalty to cancel the thing.

Just let me know WK.

Thanks

Maybe we'll have to chuck yo' ass in some cold water to dispell any notions or wicked urges.

I have a feeling there is plenty of chilly water in them creeks there'abouts......'round Ithaca.

It's $13/night and a 9 dollar reservation fee. I believe the cancellation charge is 8 dollars...
