I lost my cookies again! I was the guest. I m still not used to the board signing me off after 30 days or so....
See ya!

griffsmomBad news: Oceano is full the weekend of July 25th-27th. There s still Pismo Coast Village, but I haven t yet called for availability. I m not sure yet whether I want to pay that much.

Another option is not quite so far north and not so expensive--Lake Casitas. They have a pretty cool water park that the kids will love. You can see pictures of it from our September rally there last year (camping album 1 link below).

One other byummer: we had to have one of our canvas/window panels removed and repaired, but it should be done in about a month. Let s hope so, but if Dave and I had to pull out of Casitas because the repair wasn t completed, at least we wouldn t lose as much money as at PCV.

griffsmomHey campers,
I just made reservations for the Darksiders and us at Lake Casitas for the weekend of August 22 through 24. We are in sites B53 and 54. When I called, campsites 55-60, 1,7, 13, 18, 19, 44-46 were still available. Anyone interested in joining us for a mini rally? If so, call 805/649-1122 and have a lot of patience...it took forever to get through. I also got some waterpark tickets for Saturday.

Maybe Lazy River will be finished when you go! [

griffsmomHollypop here again. Jeanne- we are going to Honolulu for 3 nights for business. And probably plenty of partying too since Dave s sister and her husband are meeting us there. Then Dave and I are going to Hanalei on the north shore of Kauai for 5 nights. My mom and niece are staying with the kids. This is our first time to Hawaii- can t wait! Celebrating our 10th anniversary.

Lake Casitas looks so cool. Is it a public c/g or private? Seems like it would be a haul from San Diego. We have 4 nights booked in Yucaipa Regional Park in August. We drove thru it a few weeks ago- it looks awesome. It will probably be smokin hot though, maybe I ll need some PU gizmo covers. Yucaipa will probably be our last camp out before school starts. It s unbelievable how the summer is scheduled up already. Glad we got our camping plans made first!

Lori,
Wow, it looks pretty cool...I had no idea this was in the works. So anybody interested in joining us?

griffsmom · Jun 19, 2003, 05:59 PM

Chez WayJeanne,

I ll talk to Dave and see if he s up for Casitas in August. We may also go in July, depending on whether our camper window is fixed in time.

It looks like everyone is off to Gold Rush this weekend, except me. Waaah! [

] This time next week, I ll be in Rhode Island, making the best of being surrounded by Dave s humongous family. I m hoping that I ve sufficiently expected the worst so that it ends up being not so bad. Chat with you all in a couple of weeks!

griffsmomChezway: sounds like a possibility...Dan s twin bro suppose to be here but will be leaving the 22nd or 23rd.. I was just saying to dan that I didn t have any camping for the summer planned yet. will let you know soon

Dee4j · Jun 28, 2003, 07:37 PM

griffsmomWe have reservations for Casitas (site B44) for Aug 21-24 along with the prime time waterpark pass for Fri & Sat., but looks like I might have to cancel[

] my Best friend is suppose to pick up her son that weekend. She lives in Ohio now and her son is spending the summer with his Dad. I m trying to talk her into going camping, but she has this thing about bugs...whatever. I don t think I can get a refund on the waterpark passes, but maybe I can change to another weekend. I hope we can go[

Chez WayI was just at casitas viewing the sites. I have B-7 for the 4th weekend. If you can, Try changing your reservation to the " I" Camp sites. Hook-ups and " " " Shower" " " and away from the highway. all the B sites 43-61 are along the main road and I think the road noise will bother campers.

Next time I go to Casitas I will be in the M- sites, closer to the lake BUT NO hookups.

Chez WayHi Dierdre!
Just read your posts about Casitas...hope you can make it. Just bring a mosquito net for your friend!
We just got back from a week in Maui and I am experiencing culture shock. Boy it sure is beautiful there. The snorkeling was fantastic and we managed to enjoy ourselves even without our popup!
I logged on to my email account and had 158 messages...99% about Viagra, mortgages, etc.
Hope everyone is enjoying primetime camping season!
