Partly Cloudy Low 52, High 74. No rain for this saturday.
Happy Camping; I will come down Saturday morning. | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/24/2008 12:24:45 PM | Hey taxman it will be good to see you again. As far as I know you are the only person going that I've previously met. You probably don't remember but we met at one of the Sarasota singles dances back in November of '06. I haven't made it back down for a dance since then but only because it's hard to find a babysitter on Sundays.
Does anyone have a pump to blow up an air mattress? I borrowed the mattress but they didn't have a pump. I figure someone there is bound to have one I can use. I can't wait til this weekend! See you all then.

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/24/2008 1:27:52 PM | Hi Traec,
I will be bringing a 12v compressor for you and anyone else that made need their air mattress inflated. I am hoping to grab a site nearby Pavillion 6!! See ya there! | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/24/2008 3:47:45 PM | Hey Traec:
Yes I remember you from the Sarasota party; it's good to hear from you again as well.
Glad to see that you signed up for Campstock. I do not have a tent, & nobody's available to share, so I will drive down there Saturday morning & stay the entire day. I am going to be leaving about 6:00 p.m. to go to the Meet N Greet event in Sarasota at Boston's that same night.
I will see you there saturday!

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/24/2008 7:06:45 PM | RV4me, thank you very much! I look forward to meeting you Friday.
I may have an extra air mattress too. My friend gave me two but said one may have a hole, he wasn't sure. But I'm gonna get a patch repair kit just in case and I won't need two mattresses so someone else can use it if needed.
Taxman, too bad you can't stay for the whole weekend. I think we will have way more fun at the campground Saturday night than they will have at the meet n greet! After all, who's gonna be there when everyone will be at the campground anyway??? But I do hope you have fun there. | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/25/2008 6:33:24 AM | kimsrq said while she was in the Arcadia area over the weekend, the mosquitoes were out. I am bringing my citronella lamps and some tiki torches if they are allowed? Does anyone know if they spray this campground to kill mosquitoes? I imagine most do. I will bring some bottles of bug spray as well........
Looks like we are going to have good weather. I bit cool, but dry...... ...... | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/25/2008 3:34:07 PM | I recommend bug spray as well. Generally, forest areas as not at all like city areas as I've never been to a park where they did a ton of spraying. There is dense vegetation and lots of water sources. If we're lucky, it'll be super cold and that will cause the bugs to kinda go into a stupor, but I doubt it. If you are allergic to bug spray, there are some great alternative s out there that work pretty well. I recommend spraying it on your clothing (long sleeves), if you want to wear short sleeves, bring wet wipes to clean up at night when you finally lock yourself into your tent. :)
Oh, the other problem - you need to worry about ticks. They transmit lyme disease and they definitely will bite. That's the other reason for bug repellent.

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/26/2008 3:09:12 AM | I was wondering if i could use someones grill, the one i have isnt working for some reason. If i can get it fixed in time ill bring it, but if not was wondering if i could use someones.I will be bringing some coleman propane tanks for the stoves and lanterns and small grills, for exchange.
thanks john | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/26/2008 8:50:59 AM | Jac32, On the main page is the address to the campground. It would be best to just mapquest the driving directions from your address. I know I am not sure of the easiest way coming from the skyway, but mapquest should know.
John, I believe there are a few of us bringing grills, and I know I can't cook a mean steak on the grill, so I will be happy to pass it off to someone who can. I was going to stop by and fill another tank, but if you are willing to trade your services for propane, that sounds like a definite option
I am also brining two air-mattress pumps (one battery operated and one electric)
I can't wait till friday...bring your bug spray...and Happy Camping!!!

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/26/2008 9:19:13 AM | Today I had 1/2 of a couple contact me through my email, trying to create drama for this event.
The campground is a public place in which all are welcome. The site we have for Campstock is preferably for POF singles.
I would prefer it to stay that way also. I don't want to feel all weirded out by couples kissing or making "cue cue eyes", at each other, and little innuendos, while I am camping along side of other single guests
Or the opposite example, if one half of the couple starts getting jealous, flirty (or they both do with others), and create drama? It's not fare for other single guests who only want to enjoy themselves , have fun , relax , camp and meet new people
I don't know why couples would want to hang out with POF singles anyway? Why not enjoy or look for friends who are couples? Or If they want to go camping, then plan their own event any way "They WANT", and make arrangements for it another time. It could not be more Simple!
That being said............On with our plans!.........Lets Have a Good Time

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/26/2008 9:29:46 AM | as for the grill,, anyone is more then welcome to use my grill at any time. course if whats on it looks good, i might have to sample, to make sure its ok for you to eat, (smiles) i'm willing to share whatever i have, so that everyone has a awesome time. i'll be in the white dodge truck with the camper in the back, i'll be there before most, so just stop on over and say hello, ask to borrow anything, or ask me to help you set up. i'm just going to have a good time and relax, Scott | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/26/2008 9:54:11 AM | I have a large triple loop dome tent, also a two room cabin tent (that I was going to let KimSQR use) but she has never tented before, so she may stay in with me. So that might be available, I think I also have a 8 foot dome tent and a few 2-3-4 person pop-up dome tents, if ThirdTimeAround still needs one? Three of my tents are large, but fill up floor space with a few air mattresses . It could end up being a real old fashion slumber party Sometimes people borrow things. I have to make sure I have all my stuff back....so I will go in the attic and closets tonight to do an equipment/gear inventory. I will finalize that lending list tomorrow. | |

| Campstock!! Sarasota County. Feb 29 - March 2 Posted: 2/26/2008 12:29:33 PM | Is anyone bringing music. I have one of those portable radio/alarm/CD players. But I don't have many Cd's any more. The kids took all my cool stuff. Should I bring that or does someone have something better to bring? I like Alternative, Jazz, Blues, old Rock.
Heah did we ever hear back from
Winesong
