You're a hard core poster, Tomasz!

I'll do my best, despite the long drive, to be at Anastasia Fantasia 9/30 (Thurs) if anyone else is so inclined.

Coby,

Looking forward to oysters and the secret sauce, uuummmm and the beer of course

Anything I post here now I also keep on the word file on my computer so all I had to do was copy and paste

I learned my lesson a couple of sites down ago

I think Colby is referring to the oil spill jacking up prices. don't worry, they will just slide down alittle easier.

yes, it is although I am not sure any sites are available in that area, if you can't find any let me know as we have a few booked and some might be able to split

I will need to spit for any of the campouts I go on this year. So I would be glad to split.

Tomasz,
Thanks for posting all the campouts. Now that I am getting a westy I might be able to camp more. The campouts would be good on the calender. Easy way to follow them.

Re: ANASTASIA SP 10.01-03.2010 (2 nights, Coquina loop).

Can anybody split a site for this campout? They appear to be booked up.
