My list is sorted alphabetically to aid in adding missing names and removing duplicates:

Unfortunately, something has come up and we are unable to attend this year.

I will be canceling our reservation (for site #89 from 12/28 through 1/11) at noon today.

We will try again next year. Hope everybody enjoys Canopener this year!

FYI, I came across this site while trying to explain Topsail hill state park to someone. I found my exact site photo!
The only snag is the list goes by the name Greg E. Moore campground, not Topsail Hill.
https://www.campsitephotos.com

Looks to be a good planning tool.

The park is Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. The campground IN the park is the Gregory E. Moore Campground. There is a lot more to the park than just the campground.

Indeed.
However, my point was that if using the site I referenced, if you search under "Topsail Hill" it's not listed. If you search Greg E. Moore RV resort" it is. I wish the site cross referenced the name of the park too.

Thank You

I'd like to make chili for the chili cook in, but how do you keep it warm? Do you bring it in a crock pot?

Yes! Or any other vessel that would help to keep it warm! Thank you so much for bringing chili and put yourself on the list!!

Rumors of no cable and limited water! Is there any truth to this? BIG football week. I might be a little grumpy from football withdrawals. 😂 I guess it’s back to radio broadcast! Remember those days? No shower I can deal with, I don’t know about everyone else, but no football! I don’t know! 🤨

Water is fine Billy and we use DirectTV but we also are getting CBS & NBC on antenna. There WILL be football on New Year’s Day!!!!
