So, right now, we have like 6-8 people, right? If my brother gets to Reno before we leave (he called me today and said he might be leaving sooner than later), then we will probably leave CeCe behind as well, which will make the trip that much easier for us.Quote:

Cinder has been to Portal before, she likes swimming in the ponds to cool off

If we only have a few people it wouldn't be a tragedy to move to a couple of the tent sites...at least then you get a picnic table and canopy of sorts. And if at least 2 people split the $17/day cost it is cheaper than the $8/person for the group site.
Well if anyone wants to do that, move to two tent sites, then let me know. I dont really care as long as no one gets left without a place to stay. I will call in the AM if everyone would rather do that.Quote:

If I stay until Saturday, I'm sure I can find a place somewhere.

I still dont understand why you say site C cause I was told that A-C were only available to be reserved at once as one big group. Also I was told that that large group site was only available for the 14th thru the 17th. Are you sure they didnt put you in tent site C?Quote:

Which irritates me because I was told more than once that since I reserved the spot whoever showed up could just attach without reserving as part of my group ahead of time.
Group site "C" is where we've stayed with ZuZu in past years. I'll call tomorrow to see if I'm still in group "C".

Wierd, they need to get their stuff together over there. Or at least all need to get on the same page.Quote:

I was doing some research and found a GREAT website to get maps and stuff for Moab! I downloaded most of them and will have a book with all of them in it when we arrive but in case anyone wants to check it out for themselves the website is www.discovermoab.com.
:( you could always drop Donna off at the Grand Canyon.....I can pick her up on the 16th! LOL:eek:Quote:

I am SO looking forward to seeing all my VX-tended family at this years "Deal in the Desert".
With the price of gas as the only exception, I can't WAIT to get on the road for the annual migration.:dance:
OR...Lisa could be hangin' with the Peeps in Moab for a few...Then go to the GC.:naughty:Quote:

I will be bringing two tents, one for great basin and one larger for moab. so if need be I can just set up the small a few days or something.Quote:

he's only 6 months old...but hes about 80 pounds with all the clear rott markings...i was thinking of just painting him black and saying he's a big black lab :bwgy:.........just a thought........
Paint him "camo" & they won't see him at all.:rolleyesgQuote:

I like the black spray paint idea, they will blend in with Cinder :p
Regarding the tent sites, I have a fairly large but not huge 10x10 tent. In the past there has been a lot of room behind the tent sites to spread out, but it looks like they put a road back there now. But I still think there will be enough room.
Let me know if I need to make a reservation for myself.
Well I tried to call and no one answered. I say the heck with it. She told me we will be cool so lets just stay at the D site. I booked it months ago and its time is stand up for something. So unless they bump me with out saying anything we are still there.Quote:

Right on dude. I say stand up to that for sure. You booked it months ago, so its your spot. If it makes a difference we will leave our tent set up there all week!!Quote:

There's always plenty of room in "C". I would say fight the battle if you must, but it already seems you are getting stressed before a GREAT vactation.
Peace.
