GS4 - The MADNESS begins!!!!!!!

While I'm begging the boss for time off so I would be able to attend - does anybody know a # where I can call and get a camp spot in the area? I am hopping to be at this years event but it would have to be an economy trip.

Shelter Cove Campground:  707-986-7474

Tell them you're with the kayak group for the rockfish/lingcod opener.

Thanks for the #,
Looks like I may actually get to Shelter Cove this year
 

Count this newbie and his family of 4 in.  I guess were going to have to miss the annual retreat at church.

I've been to S.C. before but never camped.  What is the campground like?

Take a look at those pictures on page 3 of this thread.

I'm definitely not missing out this year. I went yak fishing there once as a wee lab about 10 years ago and recently returned out of season drooling with anticipation. Got to do some awesome river kayaking on the matole river while salmon were running though, kayaked right over them.

Right on, fishloomis and JWR - welcome to the far north Madness.  

I exchanged some emails with Julie at The Tides today and we have it all full of yakkers!  The PARTY IS ON!!!

She did request that we not park in the cul-de-sac there because the Oceanfront Inn across the way complained last year.  So, for the potluck, we need to park on the north side of The Tides in the field off of Coral point.  We'll make that clear to all participants on gameday.  

Here's a flick I made last year showing The Tides Inn and surrounding beauty:

Damn, with the Tides Inn sold out I am not going to make it.

I think I was pushing it anyway, trying to make the trip two weeks after my baby is due!

I will definitely be at GS5. Have fun er'body. And to anybody who is thinking about making the trip...DO IT! The GF and I had a great time last year, the drive is beautiful, and the host/participants are top notch.

I'll be sadly following this thread along its epic journy to 50+ pages.

Too bad you won't make it, Dustin, but having a kid is a great excuse!   

Best of luck on your trip into parenthood.

Well, I'd give ya my room if it gets ya to come Dustin!  Seriously, I dont mind camping  <ST>

Are there other motels?

Yes,  here is the link to all the inn & motels there.  I'd reccomend the Beach Comber Inn or Mario's Marine Motel if you want to save some $ ( also very close to the campground).

Booked a room at the Inn of the Lost Coast. They allow pets so I'm bringing my wife and Fletch. Can't wait!

I have a room booked at the Tides but now found out that my wife might have to teach a class that weekend and if that happens I 'm bringing the trailer and camping. So if anyone is interested in the room I will know soon and will cancel my reservation so someone else can get it.

what is the name of the campground in this area?
Sorry,I must have missed it...
