Mollysdad is right. No RV sites available for the Canopener weekend as of right now (noon CST on Dec 4th). There are 24 cabins available, and 16 tent-only sites available, but 0 RV sites.

Can it be so??????? Is it really true????????? Be still my heart!
p.s. Red, just make sure to bring the beer and the peddle cart

Howdy fellow Canopenians,
I’m making a request for Cornhole boards. If you have a pair (of Cornhole boards) and bags (for throwing) and are kind enough to tote them to the rally, please post here.
Thanks in advance

Shows my ignorance of the game. I didn't even know there was a "regulation" size!

2 year old Very Special Sauce......Levon and Ruth....Levon

[sthrngary]

Please check the rates at Camp Gulf, tend to be very expensive. You also have Destin RV, small but nice across the street from the Miramar Beach, FL beach. Also kind of pricy. If I was a betting man, I would say just watch the booking site every day and a site will come up. Hope to see you there.

If this year is like every other, there will be a bunch of cancellations the week before the event. Go back and read the last two years threads...
Now that I’ve posted this, there won’t be a single cancellation, and all the noobs will be saying to themselves, “This Panama Red guy has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about!” Which usually would be true, but both years we attended CanOpener, there were a lot of primo sites open up the last week, and I already had my site booked, and it cost money to switch sites, and I’m a tightwad, so instead of switching sites I’d just stay in the one I had, and use the powers of the dark arts to throw a curse on the people who cancelled. Which explains all of the blown tires you’ve had on trips, you bunch of site cancellers...

-Red, practically a Sith Lord


Ok, ok, I’m apologize for the blown tire curses I’ve cast (casted? Coast? Caste?). I won’t do it again...

[Captain Hank]

Red is back posting again. Yea!!
Hope you can make it to the Canopener this year, we have missed you and Mrs. Red.
Bring your Bike, I need to borrow it again.

[Panama Red]

The bike was passed on to a fellow CanOpenian, M.Nolte. Y’all need to convince her to bring it.
Red Bike 2.0 is in the works...

-Red, too much time on my hands...

[Texas Gal 61]

We have reserved a spot in camp gulf. Would love to be with everyone but that’s the best we could do.

[Cbreeze 111]

Will bring Cowboy Soup. Joe & Susan
