New reservation site (not ReserveAmerica…)

[URL]https://www.campsitephotos.com/campground/fl/stephen-foster-folk-culture-center-state-park/[/URL]
Cabins are available for those without campers for $100/night + $6.70 reservation fee (perhaps a tent is better…)

We can begin making reservations for 11/10/22, without any shenanigans, beginning in 6 days!
That is on December 10!
I will create a new thread th a few hours with more rally and loop information so that we will be ready to hit the button on December 10.
We will work out the details of wagon master, pot luck, activities, etc. later — we have 11 months.
I’m getting excited!

Note - we had a rally here 2/24/17-2/26/17 with Orchid as wagon master, but she was unable to attend. It will be good to go back to this park, and maybe she will be able to join us.

Any loop preferences? Not familiar with this SP.

I'll get the maps and info together later today.
The loops are not very far apart.
Here is an old map from the 2017 rally.

I decided not to create a new thread — that would be too confusing…
So I am posting information here, and updating the top post.

Keeping a eye on thread, My camper is usually. Covered and winterized. Up north by this time . Plus Waiting to see if my daughter from Orlando area has any availability in her work schedule to drive up, looked on web. But no cabins available, set notifications for a cancel, or may decide to buy her a tent to keep down south with her. Will see.

 

[SHFL]

I am keeping a spreadsheet — I am actually keeping track of more information, but I am only posting the crucial info..
