(Meant to include RV in Private Site option)

I'm in touch with the campground owner, Jack, and I will be working to clarify any uncertainties regarding the deal.  Here is the deal:

- $35/night for one rig and two people in a tent site is tight - you can't overflow the boundaries - it's $10/night/person over two;
- $45/night for RV site is pretty cush if you have an RV;
- $20/night to live in an NCKA mini-city with restaurants and music dens is cool if you want that group scene.  (edited to include  :smt001 because it really is a cool scene)
- I told Jack that I'm doing a poll to see just how many people we have planning to do the group thing - he is clear on how big this has gotten and what our needs are - he's a shrewd businessman but also aware of how big this is for him.  He will give us more space if we need it, and he's assured me he has plenty of space.  He's also giving us hoses and tables dedicated to cleaning gear in one area near or in camp, extra porta-potties just for us, and I mentioned firewood - I'll pin him down on that later.
- So get yourself a hotel, inn or vacation rental, or rent a private campground site, or plan on doing the group thing.  I'm confident that all participants will have room in the campground.

Eric...I know you have been trying to let Jack and the campground handle this themselves, but THANK YOU for talking to him and making sure he knows how many of us to expect.

I will be arriving there Wednesday and staying through Sunday AM with Chris New.

I'm hesitant to volunteer to be "Official Camp Liaison" with such a large group, but would be happy to volunteer to be a go between between Jack and the group as much as I could while I am there...not sure how that would work, but anything I can do to help I would be happy to cuz I know you will have your hands full with all kinds of other stuff...just let me know what you think.

Thanks again bro and looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Jim

Group area. I had planned on showing up Wednesday morning but I've been ordered to Riverside on Thursday. If I can't get out of that I'll be rushing to make it for the tourney :(

Anybody happen to be flying up and want to take a trip on thursday and make a little money?

That means ALOT to me, Jim.  I'm not looking for anything more than the minimum that I hoped to only put into it!  Take this on and I'll be stoked:

This is the message:  Jack is worried that people won't pay their share in the group area.  The share is $20/night/person.  Everyone needs to pay it up front and in full.  I will be so stoked, Jim, if you can back this request:  create a culture in camp where all the peer pressure is against someone skating by not paying their way.  NO ONE should get away with not paying the camp fee, or it makes ALL of us look like dicks.  That's what the job entails, Jim, and I feel the need to give you the validation of stating that you came to mind when I considered who might be of great service here.  Don't want to pile on the pressure with that, but, like I said, you deserve to hear it.   :smt001

How about if we ask Jack to give us a record/list of people who paid him and we double check  it ourselves.
