fountain? wet tee shirt contest?
rock on!
matters not 2me, where the food is laid out.
the issue i see with moving the gathering spot forward is TRAFFIC into/out of the loop and collateral impact.
there are other campers and cars and so on to think about and the fountain is RIGHT at the confluence of roads...
and ONE of the nice things about tucking the communal spot in the back or near the fringe is...
better privacy, less impact on other campers and so on....
so devo, u de'man... think about how or if the party lights, noise, foot traffic and so on impact everyone...
i'd look for a site that has 'streams ALL around it, so the neighbors are part of the mix...
we don't wanna become the SOBs in airstreams, just yet....
cheers
