The location and date has been selected. I've set it as far back as possible to allow the most amount of people to get there.

We will be in group camping site #402. It accomodates up to 40 people but we can pack as many in as we can fit. Kids, wifes and husbands are all welcome. Reservations will be prefered (through me) so I know how many people are coming. You do not have to make a reservation but it is prefered. IMPORTANT If you don't prepay and regester with me you will have to pay at the gate and then pay me the difference when you arrive. I am paying the base fee up front, and then there is a per person fee on top of that.

The cost will be $15/person for the whole weekend. Each vehicle will be an additional $2.95/night. Any extra money recieved will be donated to the website. Please don't bring a 40 foot camper unless there are like 10 people sleeping in it, space is somewhat limited.

It's basically a big field surrounded by trees, you drive up and pitch a tent. There is no water (bring your own) but there are portapoties (hurray). Alcohol is allowed, please drink responsibly. BRING YOUR OWN FOOD

Bring your fishing gear, swimming suits, canoes, soccer balls, badminton rackets, crocket gear etc.

Who's invited: Everyone
What: Camping
When: August 22 to Aug 24
Where: Rondeau Provincial park (click it)
Why: stupid question

Please IM me to confirm you are coming and how many people you will be bringing

If you just want to stop in for the day, just tell the front gate when you come in that you are part of the group camping and they will charge you $5/person

Please post any questions you have.

Hope to see you al there

Good spot, I don't live very far away. There's a local fair that weekend in Dresen (1/2 hour north). Parade friday evening (I'm in a big band that will be on a float). Fair includes a demo derby, truck and tractor pulls, horse show, maybe a car show (I'll check) and all the usual small town fair stuff. I won'r be able to camp (Family wedding north of London saturday and another one I'm booked to play at that night in chatham). Another parade at the Leamington tomato festivel sunday and a Habitat for humanity thing in Amhearstberg later in the day I'm playing at too. Leamington has flat track bike racing . Will try to find time to drop in a for a few hours to meet everyone!

sleeping bag, pillow, cooking utensils, chair, towel, TP, bug spray, rope, tarp etc

If everyone that is coming could RSVP with me that would be awesome. I'd like to have some idea of how many people will be there and I need to fill out a list to hand in to the park.

Check in and out time is 2pm

I owe Tyler at least 2 six packs for his help with stuff. But can I bring it over the border?

?

Yeah you can, You have to pay duty if you bring over a certain amount. Get your drinks in the states, it's way cheaper.

Patrick · « **Reply #7 on:** July 16, 2008, 10:13:20 pm »

If you buy your booze at the duty free shop at the border (before you cross) they'll tell you exactly what you're legal to bring across, with and without duty. Don't lie about what you've got when you cross............

BTW, no guns across the border, big trouble!!

Looks like I'm allowed 1 case of beer. Hope you guys like Bud............

Don't need guns. Most of you Canucks have always been nice and pleasant...

Just bear with me. I've never camped in almost 44 years...

I think you can actually bring 5 cases, but you'll have to pay taxes on the last 4. Some of the guys I work with make the occasional border run for summer supplies............

dang Tyler I live right across the pond from you.You can see mentor on that map,chardons 10 mins away!Just think all those 1.9tds soo close.

You should come then

I'm sure we could hit up a JY, but they are only open saturday until 12 usually.

Closest wrecking yard would be dover auto wreckers in chatham, not much in the way of diesel volkswagens. only 1.9 I've seen in there was in a passat wagon, and was already missing injector pump and the whole top end. Probably have better luck in windsor or london, but most of the yards in london are expensive.

Unfortunately this is at the same time as Dubs along the Rockies in Colorado.

fdnyguy · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2008, 12:24:03 am »

Ok, I'm in.

Another dumb question. why do I need a tarp?

Never camped, so be gentle.....
