and stay all four days. There are no tent, cabin, electric, shower, etc. fees.
We have sleeping accommodations for 34 persons. Bring your own pillow,
sleeping bag, and mug. We eat together Friday night, Saturday and Sunday breakfast,
and Saturday evening. Saturday is our Pot Luck night. There is
no home Penn
State Football game this weekend, so traffic should not be heavy. Because of
no game, we are going to eat at Hoss'es on Friday night. Please tell
us if you are coming for Friday or Saturday dinner, and HOW MANY are in
your party. Please give us an E.T.A.
There is NO SMOKING permitted in
the lodge; however, smokers are encouraged to come and participate. There is NO
SCHEDULE of events. Run 'em when and as many times, and as long as you want.
Rain/Snow/Excessive heat date is 29 Nov 2002. Call to verify, if you have
doubts. We do not cancel for intermittent rain, only for floods.
To date, we have NEVER postponed or cancelled.
If you wish to camp out, that is
fine. Day trippers are welcome. R.S.V.P.
