So far, 15 vans have RSVP'd, and 3 more possible
attendees. A list is below. (So far, there are seven
children coming, ages 4 to 11?.) I think 25 vans will
be our limit. Area five could hold 100, but 25 seems
pretty big while still manageable. I guess we could
hold a few extra spaces open. that will be about 50+
people. There are only 4 bathrooms (flush toilets and
sinks and showers).
Thus far, people are coming from San Diego, LA, Santa
Barbara, Bakers field, Reno, Sacramento area, and the
Bay area. Last year, one van came from Oregon. the
farthest traveled will get a prize this year, although
Gary and Tom deserve a prize for last year. they had
to drive most of the way down and back in 3rd gear, and
do major repairs on the way home.
There will be a $15 registration donation on top of the
$10 a day camping fee paid to the park. By donation, I
mean this is not mandatory if you are on a tight
budget. But if most people donate, that will give us
about $300 to spend on the extras. Every penny will
be spent on stuff for the group. For 50 people, that's
not that much, really.
Should it be $20?
Last year, Coyote and my kids and I ate an early dinner
on our way in friday late afternoon in San Juan
Batista, about 15 minutes from the campground. It
might be fun for those who plan to arrive friday
afternoon/early evening to meet there for dinner.
there are some decent mexican restaurants, and it's a
neat historic town/mission. Good margaritas, too. Let
me know if interested so we can reserve space.
Brent suggested a barbecue for the pot luck dinner, and
pancakes for the pot luck breakfast before the ritual
parade to the mountain peak. there are fire pits (and
tables) at the campground, but no grills or anything
like that. So, we need the necessary equipment. Who
can help on this, anyone?
I have decided to add an adult class to the remote
control car race, so be nice to your kid so he will
loan you his car. Or borrow one from a neighbor kid.
There will be a trophy for the winner of the kids race,
although we may need to set limits on motor size to
keep it fair. (what should they be? What size motors
does everyone have? There will be at least one steep
uphill section, so some power will be necessary.) The
track will be open for practice on saturday, with the
race on sunday morning at around 10:00. We may have
power at the camp for charging batteries, i'm not sure
yet. (generator anyone?)
Maybe i should use the syncro-org@egroups.com mail
list for this so as not to clog the syncro list with
discussion/planning for the event.
That's all for now.
