Wow. Real bummer about stuff that happened last year, Ken. It only takes a few to f*#k it up for everyone else. Hopefully those few can't make it this year.
I heard similar (but much worse) things are what changed the RRR this year. No one, not even those of us involved with teaching the clinics, were allowed to camp at the actual event location this year. Sad. It pretty much sucked, for everyone, to have to camp in the middle of a dust storm, thanks to some as#@&%es from last year.
"rip roaring good time with baked beans."
Pardon the pun, right, Fatty?

Tamarack is out in the boonies. I can get the whole 50 + site Campground. I got it for overflow and because no one will bother anyone out there as long as we don't leave food and garbage out. It makes sense to have a supply station there and to focus on roadways as it is central for three of them. Still working out the details.

We plan on being there this year as well. However, we won't be able to stay as long and will probably have to fly in and rent a car due to work. BLECK! Our hope is to stay at Yellow Pines.
Ken - sorry about the b.s. that you had to deal with last year. Uncool.

picked up some mueller climbing tape at the bottom of the nose, so I'm done with my part.
Hey, does Hollywood Hans use Mueller Tape?
I might sell this on evilbay.

I nominate EKat to be camp host/den mother at Yellow Pines. Cookies. Campfire. Marshmallows, maybe with graham crackers and chocolate. Nature walks, combined with a bit of garbage pickup. Story time.
I'm only partly joking. There will be a number of children at the FaceLift, plus some adults who prefer a quieter environment. Yellow Pines could be the "family" site, Tamarack Flats the "PG-13" site. That wouldn't mean that all would be boring at YP, or that TF would be out of control. (Both will have hosts, and we have to watch our Ps and Qs.) We can probably fill up both sites, and visit back and forth. For example, if we have a BBQ one night, it can be at YP, as everyone will be in the Valley at the end of the day. Then maybe there'd be an evening event at TF one night.
We should limit the number of evening events, though - Ken puts in a lot of work to locate speakers, prizes, food and drink for the events at the Visitor Centre, and we don't want to distract people from that. Maybe a BBQ at YP on the Tuesday night before the FaceLift officially starts, and then something at TF later in the week?

Lynne - Yes, I agree.. we need to hear more of eCats' sing-songs.
it's a good solid voice one can rest their soul on and listen.
See-ya there

So many talented people - EKat, Buggs and Andy T, etc... It's a highlight of staying in Yellow Pines. I wish we weren't going to be split up if that is what is going to happen.

The only problem with Tamarack Flat is that it's at Tamarack Flat.

Perhaps we should have a poetry reading one night at the FaceLift. That would be a nice touch.

Perhaps team Switzerland - Fishy (Pete), Sabrina, and the aptly named Finn - will attend again this year, with chocolate to fortify the team.

For what it's worth I vote against Tamarack. My grandkids were in Yellow Pine along with Peter's small son Finn. They just set up tent away from the campfire on the far side. I like to enjoy both Family and my ST Friends. :D I don't think life can get much better than singing and playing music around a campfire.
Remember Jillie and Cowboy Jake started the evenings with the kids songs and the kiddos singing ? That too was so much Fun !

All camping in the Valley is full. Crane Flat and Tamarack are the only camping available.
