I thought this was a hush-hush, low key, upcoming event.  Now there's nothing available at the Jetty Campground! 
Where's everyone staying? 


****EDIT****
Not just Jetty full, they are all full: Cove, Gull, Shell, even Miwok tent is full that weekend.

They are always full now a days, but you can still find people cancelling by watching the reservations website.

I'll try to snag a camp spot, checking daily for cancellations.  What site you in buddy? 
Probably just me, Denise says she wants nothing to do with 'those hooligans'.  Ha!  Just kidding, she has something else on her calendar.  I would be baching it.

They just announced we can use traps again starting on the 12th.

Jerry, sites were already booked up over 10 months ago. I had friends try to get reservations back in may and couldn’t.

This is not an event, it's just a weekend of people camping out on the coast (a majority of campers here from NCKA) The last official Crabfest happened in 2022.

Denise and I had an absolutely wonderful time visiting with so many of you all.  Frank-n-Bunny, John-n-Marcia, Shawn-n-Jauncy, Victor-n-his bride (so sorry I can't remember names sometimes), Scotty, Andy, Al, his brother Al, and his other brother Al!  (So easy to remember names that way!)  Plus, the cast of thousands at Al's camp too!  The hospitality was off the charts as I wandered around the campground looking for familiar faces or someone to recognize me.  I was introduced to many who came with those mentioned, but I'm terrible at names, so there...  I enjoyed meeting you as well! 

Sorry we missed seeing you, Ron-n-Carrie.  We walked by and you were helping a young couple with a trailer as I recall.  Came back on Sunday and poof!  you were GONE!  :smt010

I didn't take many photos, but I got this one of John and Al and another of the oysters John gifted us at my camp's fire ring.  Al provided the freshest homegrown fruit and I brought out the beers. 
So, CHEERS! to all who made it and CHEERS to all who couldn't.  We missed you!

Hey Andy.  Let me ask you a question.  Do you know how to...STFU?  I hope our short relationship allows for this kinda snark :smt007.  I'm not so sure I've learned how to...STFU but I'll keep practicin'...let's learn together... :smt006
