Hello all!
 
It's time again to make your reservations to open North Lake for the FOURTH TIME. COTOC is getting older... We'll be in Loop 6 again - go to www.reserveamerica.com to make your reservations. 171 has already been taken, so I made reservations on 177 starting Friday May 5th for 3 nights. Hope to see you guys there!
 
People with reservations:
173 jazman
175 andym86
176 tlhdoc
177 copcarguy

180 dademt

Rick is that the site you were on last year?:eyecrazy:

[copcarguy]

Yes, Tracy, I was on 177 last year.

[tlhdoc]

So what site was I on?  I was across the road from you?:confused:

[copcarguy]

Hey Tracy - I went back in the COTOC archives and found this post from you dated 11-28-04:
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May 6th weekend North-South Lake Campground, Haines Falls, NY
 
You can make your reservations through www.reserveamerica.com the loop with sites 168 to 187.
 
 
Copcarguy 177
Jazman 178
tlhdoc 176
DiW 175
Andym86 170
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
So I hope that helped. 176 is where I was supposed to be this past Oct to close NL. Actually this time I was considering resevering 176 again because it is protected from the winds right off the lake...

If I can get that Friday off I will see you then.   Thanks for looking it up for me.

Hey Rick, I am trying to get another couple to head up with us.  So I am waiting to confirm how many sites we will need.  Should know in a couple days.  Will then let you know what site(s) we will be at.  Can't wait to see you guys again.  It is going to be a long winter without camping.

[copcarguy]

Hey dademt!
 
I can't wait to show you guys my favorite campground. I'm looking forward to this trip already...
 
I'll let you know WAY in advance to bring up an extra propane tank and deep cycle battery.
 
If you need a map of the campground, I have one on my webshots page under "North Lake Trips".  If you need help in picking out a site, let me know what you like (near/far from bathhouse, trees, etc.) and I can recommend one.

[dademt]

Hey Copcarguy,  Sounds great.  If you can recommend two sites, one for us and one for our friends that would be tent camping, that would be great.  Nicole said to get something close to you guys.  Other then that, whatever you think would be good.  We would most likely just do the two nights so the kids are only out of school one day.  The pictures you have look great.  I already can't wait to get there.  I already converted the popup to two tanks and I have a second battery.  This winter I need to redo the wiring from the battery.  Other then that we should be ok ( I hope ).

dademt:

171 is the best site in the entire place.  It's booked up already or I would've gotten it.  177 is my second choice, so I grabbed that site.  Since your friends are in a tent, I would think it would be better if they were across the street from the lake for wind protection.  Sites 175 and 176 will be near us (and across the street), but I know Tracy said she wanted 176 again...  If they want to be on the lake side 178, 179, and 180 are good.  Anything past 180 is getting a tad far from the bathhouse in my opinion, but if you don't mind walking 183 and 185 are real nice.  Do not get 174, it is a crappy site.

[dademt]

Well, you guys are stuck with us again.  Sorry for your bad luck :p .  In fact this time we are bringing some people as crazy as us :yikes: .  So put dademt down for site 180 and Anne/Andy (dademt's friends) at site 179.  It will be Annes birthday on the 5th.  178 was already reserved.

Andy - I am so glad you're coming again!

I can't believe how fast North Lake gets booked up with NY's new 9 month in advance reservation policy instead of the old 11 month way...

[tlhdoc]

I hope I can get the 5th off for vacation.  If I don't I will have a site for sale.:yikes:  I wish they didn't have the 9 PM check in or else at North-South Lake.  I booked 176.

[copcarguy]

Cool Tracy!  Looks like we're all in a bunch right down the road...  I feel very sorry for the poor souls on 178 stuck right in the middle of all of us!  :eyecrazy: :p :eyecrazy:

jazman - where are you buddy??  Jump on the bandwagon!
 
DiW - are you sure you guys can't make it??
