RJ,

Some of us were talking at Trap Pond about making it a zombie theme for the kids and Jerry was going to show a zombie movie that evening. Soooooo..... it will be more about the makeup than a costume. Maybe start practicing your makeup style you want to use--like rotting decaying flesh---mmmm that sounds appetizing at dinner time.

Yea...there is a Halloween theme to the weekend...the kids (and apparently some of the adults are into) are into zombies...

So we will be having a George A. Romero film festival one of the nights...

On Saturday some of the kids have volunteered to turn any willing adult into a zombie...so you won't have to dress up...

Sonia will post more details later...

Sonia,

The Waddell's are signed up and plan to attend.


From what I understanding, there's a chance this could almost be a "WDCU Oldtimers Rally" based on some of the people I've heard might be coming.

Isn't that nice?? We can all have our own political, religious or other beliefs/opinions, but when it comes to camping, we are just friends and that's what matters!

Now if we can get a certain family that has 4 wonderful boys and live in NY to attend, it will be nice. Dear friends from Catonsville MD will be attending as well! Can't wait to see everyone! We miss you!

campground

A note to those coming to the rally, if you are not using a GPS and just relying on good old maps, please be advised that when you get off at exit 266 off of I76, the turn to go to the campground is about 100 yard away on the left. It is hard to see the small street sign. If you go past the Harley-Davidson on the right, you have gone too far.

See you soon,
Sonia

Time is drawing near. Im excited to see everyone. I hope the weather holds up here in the north since I'll be traveling alone. Regg will be on a hunting trip in Colorado, so I will pull Lulu myself.

Attractions?

Shank's Tavern in Marietta, a scant 18 miles from the CG, is a major attraction (for me anyway) and will put you in fine fettle. Closed weekends. See pic of bartender.
