    The pleasure was all mine, David. :-) Also, would some kindhearted individual be willing to bring along a large crock pot or two, and a few extension cords?

    Ladies and Gents, I am sorry but the park has no open camp sites or I would have reserved more for everyone on the waiting list, but the entire campground is fully booked. Legally we are only allowed 8 people per site, so we cant allow friends and family to bring others. Sorry Guys, I will post another camping trip in March for at least 40 members.

      “ It is always good fun to visit with old friends even if we are having to dodge the ranger gestapo. ”
    • Paid TAG Member 6/09
      “ Rose's mouth watering meatball's, Deb's smacking good beef stew, My killer dog, A straight by the rules, counting ranger, Dave's plan to get a six plus room multi tent structure attached by zippers to meet the over zealous ranger's rules; all priceless memories of yet another thumbs up T.A.G. adventure! ”
    • Paid TAG Member 9/09
      “ There's always something uniquely special about each meetup, and those who attend it, and this one was no exception. We laughed, ate delicious food (thank you, Rose and Deb), petted pups, read aloud, chatted with strangers, who quickly became friends, bonded by the fire, exchanged camping, hiking and all sorts of other wisdom, generally played our little hearts out, after which, Rose and I toured Ft. Foster. Thank you yet again, David for all you do to make these meetups such great experiences, and thank you Rose, Mark, Deb, Aaron, Rachelle, Winston, Glenn, Jordan, Heidi, Tripsy, Cocoa, and Sammy for an enjoyable weekend! ”
