Missouri's Department of Natural Resources, Division of State Parks says (at http://www.mostateparks.com/firewood.htm ) Wayne County, Missouri is infected with Emerald Ash Borer. Federal and state quarantines have been issued for Wayne County to restrict movement of any ash wood product. This includes all hardwood firewood, the most common way emerald ash borer is spread. This quarantine for Wayne County includes both Lake Wappapello State Park and Sam A. Baker State Park.

That doesn't cover Pershing State Park. It goes on to say "For all campers:

Know where your firewood comes from. Do not move or purchase firewood if it comes from Wayne County, Missouri, Illinois or any of the other eight states that have an emerald ash borer infestation. This also means not moving firewood with you on your camping trip. View updated maps of quarantined states at http://www.emeraldashborer.info/map.cfm

According to that page:
EAB locations in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Canada

Iowa is almost surrounded but it isn't currently in a quarantine.

All of that said, I threw on a row and a half of firewood in the Dakota this morning. Not quite what I brought to Crawford (that was 2 rows) but we didn't burn all of that.

Bob, you all packed and raring to go?

It's too bad Kathy won't be there to play with the fire. I guess Mark and Jeff will have to pick up the slack. :D

I'm hoping to make it this weekend. Didn't make a reservation - but hope there is a spot close to the group still available.

Will bring something to share for the great potluck - haven't figured it out yet.

Dusting the pollen off the vardo and trying to get my act together. I am so ready for some fresh air and relaxation.

Gosh that is great news. Looking forward to meeting you and checking out the vardo. There are several non-reservable sites in the same loop. :applause:

Bummer. Just checked the reservation system and found your site available. Was wondering what happened. There will be other gatherings....

Have you ever camped at Onondaga?

Looks like we won't be there until this evening........ :cry:

Anna has a full days work so I'll be getting ready all day. It's 9:30 AM and I've already got most of the laundry done and the gutters on the house cleaned out.
