Steve
We had a great time and we would return, I just wish there was some way of fitting more vehicles and trailers into Montana De Oro campgrounds, Because if you throw another gathering I would almost bet the farm that there will be alot more people whom will want to attend the next one & would probably fill the whole campsite and the lower loop is a ways away from the main area.
This is just a thought if the park is notified early enough in which Lana may be able to throw a bug into the ears of her superiors since there was such a good turn out for the 2007 gathering,maybe put in to reserve all of the sites starting from the road that heads up to the upper loop from the lower loop, Might be able work out somthing so we can get as many as three teardrops in one spot and be able to park our vehicles along the road still leaving room for there parks clean up crews to drive though.
Or maybe a possability. Maybe be able to line up the teardrops around the inside circle everyone would not have a fire pit but that would be nice in way we could have a couple of big fires in the inner circle and people could visit & tell raccoon stories ect., And there are a few picnic tables in which we could move closer to the trailers and they have more tables down in there storage area.
If this could be a possability each vehicle & trailer parked around the inner circle could be charged as if they we're in a regualar spot.
I have done this before alot of parks will work with you as long as you let them know ahead of time. You would be giving them about a 11 month notice, And the park would make alot more money, And this would work out to thier benifit.
You or We would probably have to make some signs to put at the enterance of where our area would start, Saying somthing like 2008 SLO Teardrop Trailer Gathering vehicles only, Walk ins welcome come take a peek.
Steve I know you have checked into this before the 2007 gathering but now we have a track record & Lana may be able to help make next year be even bigger and better (2007 was great do not take this wrong),We will be there for sure no matter were you end up making it happen, We may be in a different Teardrop.
And next year it would be nice if we could possably have some sort of name tag with a discription of each trailer & the names of the people with the trailer on thier trailer. I would be more then happy to help with this next year.
Sorry Cliff I did not forget you, I do not think that I said I would bring horse shoes, I may have but I do carry a set with me, Along with my bowling balls, Sorry everybuddy I should have set them up & I should have pulled out my bowling balls for the raccoons.
THANKS AGAIN STEVE YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
