5/6/2016: Fee Increase
:evil:

I happened to log into Reserve America and saw that I owed another $20 for Giant City. I do remember seeing that the fees were going to increase, but I thought there was supposed to be no change to reservations already placed. I hope to find the original notice somewhere (unless someone else can find it). I paid the $20 for now just to make sure my reservation is good.
----------------------------------------

Planning the week there and hoping BJ can make some reservations for a few days too. If anyone is passing thru on their journey to someplace, would be happy if you can come too for a bit. Lots to see in the park itself if you're interested in that http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/Parks/Pages/GiantCity.aspx

Mitch: Site 20 5/20-27th 7 nights
BJ: Site 30 5/21-27th 6 nights
Rosemary: Site 25 5/21-27th 6 nights
Roberta: Site 29 5/21 - ?
Cheryl: Site 11 5/21-29th 8 nights
(I'm mathematically challenged :? so please correct my dates if wrong).

No water on the individual sites; however, if you are near a hydrant (I'm guessing the water spigots) you can hookp directly but you need to have a splitter. He also stated there is a dump station with non-potable water that can be used to fill your tanks when you arrive.

Our sites. I'll update if other can come (hope so!)

Guess that would help huh :?

I'm in site 11 in the regular campground.

Thanks for the reminder Mitch. (I'm blaming lack of sleep brain).

You know, of course, that I meant the POT that holds the bail money, right?

I might be able to make this one; want to go back to Carbondale too. Need to see what taxes are going to do to spring cash flow.

Contemplating it to. Depends on whetherbor not I head to PA in June. Would probably stay 5 nights as would want to start home ahead of holiday traffic.

Here are a few links to pictures and information about the Park and surrounding area.

There are several lakes here and many hiking trails plus entertainment most nights. I particularly like The Old Feed Store in Cobden. http://www.theoldfeedstore.com/

Man, I certainly have an mostly undeserved reputation!
Maybe it's because I beat Abby every day, whether she needs it or not?
Nah, that can't be it.
Must be something else...
