If no one has jumped on this yet I may have a taker. I don't know if you remember our friends Anne & Jeff from Marion or not, but they just bought a teardrop and are thinking of going. They have been holding off to see what the weather brings. I told them Kurt always guarantees good weather and only picks good weekends. Anyway let me know if it is still available and I'll check with them.

Thanks

No one has said anything to me yet. It is yours if you want it. Let me know, as it is registered in our name, but we can make it work.

Dan,

I talked to Jeff and he said he would take the site and reimburse you for the cost. What do we need to do so they can check in?

They tried to get registered on this website but were unable to for some reason.

Jim:

I know the question wasn't directed my way but Scuba and I have rented for each other several times ,and I never quite know how it was presented, so I simply tell the gate we have # XX and they check us in without question. So as long as they have the site number there should be no problem.

Thanks Bob, that's what Dan said as well. I need to start thinking about food, not that I don't do that all the time. Just don't know what I'm bringing yet.

Thanks, I try my best. Just in case it doesn't turn out well I'll need to have some one to be the "fall guy". Can you feel the confidence??? :oops:

:thinking: Before I can decide what I'm contributing to the pitch-in, I need to know when it will occur! Is it on Friday evening, Saturday noonish, Saturday evening, or none of the above?

Thanks!
Sharon

I really need to re-retire one of these days.

Indycamper, I'm not sure why this posted three times but this the full schedule of things that will happen at the gathering.

The “Hoosier Chapter”
“Tearjerkers Birthday Party”
15th anniversary of the founding


Spring Gathering at Clifty Falls State Park


WHEN: May 17-20, 2011

WHERE:
Clifty Falls State Park
Mapping Address
2221 Clifty Drive
Madison, IN 47250
Description:

Clifty Falls State Park is located near Madison with entrances on state roads 56 and 62. The park’s waterfalls change moods with the weather and the seasons and can range from roaring plunges to delicate bridal-veil mists to gleaming frozen titans. Winter and spring visits reveal them at their best. The rugged splendor of Clifty Canyon offers exciting year-round hiking and scenery.
Clifty Creek’s stony bed is littered with fossil remnants telling of a long vanished marine ecosystem that teemed with life that included ancient corals, ancestral squids, brachiopods and more. Fossil collecting within Clifty Falls State Park is prohibited but nearby collecting locations are readily accessible.
In Historic Madison, tour the Lanier State Historic Site, the former mansion of frontier banker James F.D. Lanier, and enjoy the drive along the beautiful Ohio River. Plan a park visit during one of the community's special events, such as the July Regatta hydroplane boat race or the Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art in late September.
Please Note: Clifty Falls Tunnel is closed until further notice
All caves, sinkholes, tunnels and mines on DNR properties are closed to provide protection from white-nose syndrome, a fungus that is killing bats in large numbers in the Eastern U.S. and is now spreading west. This includes the old railroad tunnel at Clifty Falls. To learn more about WNS visit http://www.dnr.IN.gov/batdisease. Thank you for cooperating with DNR in this effort.

Bringing Hoppin' John and corn bread for the pitch-in. Seems like it took so long to get here. Maybe it was the early Spring.
