Thanks for the info, but the wife is dead set against the trip. I may still come myself, but even that is looking bad.

I want to keep my options open, but it is too far off for me to plan. If I make it, I will catch a super saver flight and probably be travelling on short notice. What is the deal on reserving a site?

i'm not reserving a site until i positively know exactly if i'm definitly going... if that makes any sense.

It's a big campground...just because it would be nice to all be close together doesn't mean we have to be. But we might need "designated drivers" to get people back to their tents at night.

I volunteer to be Scorchy's "designated driver"...

Anytime you want to determine your own status is fine with me. There, undoubtedly, will be some folks with sites where an extra tent can be thrown down on short notice. Hell, if it isn't, you can lay your bag down right on the party site, fall asleep and we can be careful not to step on you!!!

if ya fly up and need to be picked up at the airport, Syracuse is 30 minutes away from me. If you do come up we could plan it where I would pick you up at the airport and then drive down to Ithaca. and visa versa. Just a thought if makes it easier for ya.

Anybody ever hear of a Resturant in Ithaca called the moose(somthing) It was started by a bunch of hippies in the 70's and is a vegetarian type resturant and is one of the best in the country???
I cant remeber the name of it???

Maybe we could reserve a block of sites and then we could all just pile into one area...???

I do not believe my wife will make the trip, but I am still in and looking very much foward to it. I do not know this yet for certain, but I know she will probably back out at the last second.

Anyone that wants to share my site is welcome to. I am planning a killer menu as well so get your taste buds ready.

snafu, thanks

That makes it an easier choice.

I will start checking super savers to Syracuse. I can pack tent/bag/equip in a duffel. This is making it more of a possibility.

It would be a great way to meet ya Bud.
If you wanted to skip Thursday daytime and fly up on Thursday night thats cool too with me, I was thinking of only going the Thursday night, Friday, saturday and Part of Sunday. I totally flexible and do the whole Deal Thursday - Sunday too...

PS...possible pit stop on the way... I think there is a Hooters in Syracuse, if not there is "USA Girls" joint.....LOL

So, we are nearing the close of negotiations with the Chilmeister? Good deal!
Treebeard

Right now, I can get a ticket for $375.

As it gets closer to time, I will probably be able to snag one cheaper.

I will check SouthWest later. I can drive to Little Rock and fly out of there. But experience has shown if I just continue to watch, I will get a good deal. I flew to Ft Lauderdale last summer for $175 round trip.

Hey Wolfeyes, if the wife does not go, and I would put it at about 90% chance as a no right now, I can pick you up on the way, unless you were planning on driving.

If you are interested, let me know. I will keep you posted.

Was the sale for Thursday night arrival and/or Hooters?

I, uuuuummmm cough cough, may have a cold that week if necessary....
It's been 4 years since last time I had a, ummmm cough cough, a cold....
but the hotell idea sound like a plan too.... we could just skip the whole Ithaca deal and goto "USA Girls", Hooters, Dinosauer BBQ and OSWEGO speedway!!! By the way Oswego Ny hold the guiness book of world records for most bars per capita in a city!!!!

I think that the sites are big enough for a few tents. As long and they are not 20 feet by 20 feet.

You can share my site.

Good deal, WK.

Maple, if I am any good at estimating how much liquor will be there, there's a good chance that we may have a better inventory than Hooters.
