| Vancouver Island CAMPING **April 17 - 19, 2009** NANAIMO Posted: 3/26/2009 1:58:18 AM | Was just wondering if anyone would be into carpoolin from the ferry to the site, splitting a site and car it back to the ferry. If that could posiblily be arranged, I just might be able to see myself taking part in this one after all. I have tenting gear and enough money for transportation/camping site shared/ and ferry ride. Just no transportaion to and from the camping site.

| Vancouver Island CAMPING **April 17 - 19, 2009** NANAIMO Posted: 3/26/2009 2:17:40 AM | ^^^^ Spud... I am not sure as of yet when I will be heading to the island and coming back to the mainland.... waiting to hear from the folks what their plans are before and after the camping as I'd like to tie a visit in with them...seeing as that damn ferry is so freakin expensive! lol I could possibly help you out one way... but dont really know which one...and seeing as I know where you live... I could easily drop and roll ya out of the car! lol I"ll keep ya posted when I get more details from the parental units! But it also looks like there are lots of other mainlanders that are going to be coming... they probably have more or a set schedule then I do... Either way.... it would be great to see you. Just be sure to not forget your tent this time eh!  | |

Lord knows I love to party as much as anyone else, but this campground does have rules regarding outside music. Now apparently Debra stayed here awhile back and her group was kind of noisy, and they had outside music, and yet in spite of the campground's rules, and how noisy her group was, there were no complaints and noone asked them to shut it down. If we are able to get away with that this time, awesome, but if we are asked to shut it down, then we must respect that. No one can claim they didn't know the rules before they booked, and I would not be happy about being kicked out and/or not being welcome to come back again. At the time of this posting, there are 57 people signed up for this event.....just that many people gathered around a campfire even with no music is gonna be noisy.....throw in a few noisy inebriateds, a guitar or two, as well as some of our more naturally rambunctious POF'ers, etc, well, I think you get my drift. Thanks all, let's all have a great time, while at the same time respecting our fellow campers, as well as the campground itself. See you all in just over 3 weeks! | |

(inside joke! - you know who I'm talking about! It won't be a secret after the camping trip I bet!)
Remember - what happens at camp stays at camp - and only comes out at the next one and the next one and then next one... | |

| Vancouver Island CAMPING **April 17 - 19, 2009** NANAIMO Posted: 3/26/2009 9:35:58 PM | | Scary isn't it but the long and short of it is we are all adults. We do respect others. we do want to have a great time and party but with some class. If asked to cool it I know i will but theres no harm in seeing if you can play music outside for a while will take it inside if someone will let us. Rules are rules they can be bent but not broken. I'm told there are some big RVs. May be warmer in there. Like I said I talk a good game but Shy , Deb , and others know me well. But I will have a great time reguardless and I'm looking forward to meeting all the fishies and entertaining them if possible. It's all good. | |

| Vancouver Island CAMPING **April 17 - 19, 2009** NANAIMO Posted: 3/27/2009 12:56:20 AM | Well... As many have said.... it'll be all good...at this point..this whole thread is starting to sound pretty x-rated! Will someone pass the popcorn and a wobbley pop please... I've got a while yet before I need to sober up and drive on that big floating thing to get to that other piece of land that's not attached to ours!! 
Regardless...this is all in good fun... a lot of us are way more talk then action...and if there is any action... we probably dont have the stamina like we did 20 yrs ago to Get R Done! We'll be doing it in our sleep and telling each other over morning coffee with baileys/khaula/marshmellow mix how we got into trouble while fluffing up our pillows and touching the side of the tent...only to wake up in a big puddle... Plse tell me the tent was leaking!!

I dont usually know if men wake up in a wet puddle though...do you? I suppose another question may be... if he's sleeping in an RV.. and still wakes up in a wet spot... does that mean he has a leaky condo? Or was he dreaming about fluffying someone else's pillows!!  | |

Is that like the sending the search party out in search of missing persons? It looks like I should've been to more camping events ( or maybe not ) lmao. This is shaping up to be a great event. Getting stoked to be there. | |

| Vancouver Island CAMPING **April 17 - 19, 2009** NANAIMO Posted: 3/30/2009 7:04:34 PM | Going to try to be there. The place isn't far from my home. If it rains I can head home or stick it out if I've got some cover. Looks like I have a couple of friends going anyways. I think I have someone who's willing to share their site with me too. Anybody got a patch kit for my tent? A coon tore a hole in it last year. Don't leave food or toothpaste in your tents!
love, the smokin kitty | |
