Can opener 2009

[Sugarfoot]

After a great New Year's with Airstreaming friends at Myrtle Beach, we decided to change our reservations today too. Heading out of Myrtle Beach in the AM, spending one night at Laura S. Walker State Park in Georgia (near the swamp and the gators ), then into Topsail Monday.

I'm just loving the beach these days. See y'all then.

Wow. We change arrival plans and so does the weather. Now a possibility of rain Saturday and Sunday. Hope for the best and plan for the worst. Seems like I remember the first Can Opener it rained most of Saturday morning. Still had a great time. And we will this time too.

Not sure there is a real schedule other than open house Saturday afternoon, happy hour a little later and potluck Saturday evening. Usually there are one of more groups that eat at the Red Bar Friday night. Just wander around and talk to folks, you will be invited to more than you have time for.

We are prep mode.

Couple of questions:

Are pets allowed? Website is unclear on this. I just want to bring 2 horses, a donkey, two dogs and a cat.

How late can you check in? Wife wants to come in Friday night, I want to come in earlier during the day.

Hmm - sounds like you plan on providing part of the entertainment.

[Poprivet]

Yes, pets are allowed - normal rules.

They didn't say anything about our 3 dogs and 1 cat last year so I think you are okay with the dogs and cat in the campground. Pets are not allowed on the beach.

I know several attendees have arrived VERY late previously without any issues, so that should not be a problem.

Don't bring the donkey. I don't need to compete with another ***.

Leave the cat at home.......

All animals on a leash, none are allowed on the beach (VERY STRICT). We had our little dog in our arms and were warned.

Late check is after 10pm may require some sort of arraingement. They lock the gates I think at 10pm. You may want to call ahead.

If the site is not reserved that day you are suposed to arrive you can check in real early also.They wont mind at all.The same rangers have been working there for a long time so they know we are coming.

Since we will not arrive until Saturday morning, we will miss the Friday Red Bar visit - which I might add is a real treat. BUT, for those who will remain on Sunday, we will be going for lunch on Sunday and would enjoy a crowd to come along. We do not depart until Monday morning and we will be off to DISNEY...... Fort Wilderness for the week.

OK - we are on - see you all Friday night. Thought we might not be able to make it due to work. Yeah!!

.....since we were away in Key West (Key Weird)! Just got home about an hour ago and am trying to catch up. Believe me, you haven't celebrated New Year's until you do it in Key West. We stayed in the Navy's overflow campground, one mile from Mallory Sq., for five nights and even met another Airforum member "n2916s" (really nice folks).

Unfortunately, one of our good friends (and forum member "golferBob"), who accompanied us, had to return home early due to his wife falling and almost destroying her wrist. Her surgery is Thursday, but since they live in Destin he is going to try and still make it to Canopener.......if he does....he made need some liquid comfort.

Greg.....I think you are a beer kinda guy, but tell Pat that we have 1 1/2 bottles of Malibu and three large cans of Pineapple juice left over from our trip South......it needs to be consumed before it goes bad.

Three days to clean all this gear up, read the mail, visit the ATM, and we're ready to party some more at Topsail. See ya soon!
