****NEW BOOKING INSTRUCTIONS****

OK.....Here's the deal.

If we get together and grab all the beach-front sites that we can for April 24-26, 2009 we could have a great camp-out.

Here is the beach-front layout from North to South by section.

Section A.....37-38-40-41-43-45

Section B.....47-49-51-53-55-57-59

Section C.....60-62-64-66-68-70-72-73

Section D.....75-77-78-81-83-85-87-89-91HC-92-93-94

Here is the Website:
http://www.reserveamerica.com/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=CA&parkId=120025
That'll take you right to the Doheny CG set-up.

Please print these instructions. Thanks to Brad I found out that the website has changed the way that you can book sites.
Make sure that you sign-in with your user name and password BEFORE 8:AM on October 1st, preferably around 7:50. If you don't have a ReserveAmerica account and want to participate, make sure that you sign-up for an account right away.

Once you sign in, Click on, "Find Camping Spot" (Top Left). Click on, "Park name" window and type in "DOHENY SB". Click on "Arrival date:" window and select the date (Friday) April 24 (or whenever you want to arrive) put in the # of nights you want to stay. Click on "Search Campgrounds" button as soon as the time on your computer screen turns 8:00....not a second sooner because you'll have to start over and you won't be able to even get back in for some time. By the time you do, the game will be over.

Click on "Doheny SB" then in the left column you can input 2  or more site #s separated by a comma then click on "Search Campsites". Once you click on "Search Campsites", you capture the sites (if someone didn't beat you to them). Now, click on "See Details" for the 1st site to book. Then click on "Book These Dates". Fill out your info.

Book the first site then click on "Make More Reservations" and it will allow you to book the 2nd site (if one of your selected sites is available) without having to log back in again or losing your place in line (Max 2 per account...... email address).

I suggest that we select a section. Each person to 2 sites.  If we get enough participation, we can move to Section "C". The idea is to book the entire section as fast as possible. We can always swap site #s once we have booked the sites.

If all the beach front sites go fast (which they will), we start on the sites across from the beach front sites that we have booked. They go a lot slower. If you get 1 beach front site and can't get a second, grab the site across from the site that you book (see the "campground map").

Here are the the selections, let me know which ones you want to book.

Section D
75- ...Recumbentman
77- ...Recumbentman
78- ...kimrb266
81- ...kimrb266
83- ...Shirleen
85- ...Wavery (brother)
87- ...Wavery (Daughter)
89- ...Wavery
91HC ...cjpoppin
92- ...Wavery
93- ...Dkutz
94- ...Dkutz

Section C
73- ...Hatlet
72- ...Dkutz
70- ...Dkutz
68- ...CJ-Griffsdad
66- ...
64- ...
62- ...
60- ...

We won't get all of those sites. So here is a list of the sites across the road.
Section D
79, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90
Section C
63, 65, 67, 69, 71
No need to sign up for these. Just book one as close to the one beach-front site that you may have gotten.

If you sign up to reserve sites, please be on-line before 8:AM. I will keep this post alive and post reminders a few days in advance.

This is a great CG if we can get beach-front sites. If enough people participate, this could be a real fun rally. It's totally self-serve. Those that can get more than one beach-front site will have NO PROBLEM getting a taker for it. Don't worry about getting stuck with a site that you don't need.

If anyone is interested in coming but doesn't have time or want to mess with booking, I'll make a separate list for interested campers. That will help us to know how many are really interested in attending.

I missed 83, but got 79.  Oh well, better luck next time for the beach... My fingers are crossed for each of you on the beach sites.

[JohnandLeann]

I was able to get #62, but like others here, the second site was not available by the time I went back.
Some were avail but not on Fri or Sat.

I think you need to start a fresh list showing what sites the sccampers have.

it looks like some people (my daughter and dieter) got beach sites. if you can find something you want, book it. they're going fast. 98-99 are still open.
