Many
of you have expressed interest in camping in January. There
are available sites at the Vineyards Campground on Lake Grapevine, for our traditional
third weekend, Friday January 18th-Sunday January 20th. It is a beautiful park,
even in January. Please note the following points: *
Website is http://www.vineyardscampground.com
*
Because of the late date, anyone interested will be responsible for making your
own reservation. We will not have an official host. *
Because of the probable colder weather, and the only facility being an outdoor
pavilion, dinner will be at restaurants on both Friday & Saturday (to be announced-suggestions
welcome). *
Tami & I will provide coffee and pastries on Sat & Sun morning at our site. *
While rates are a bit high, they do offer a Good Sam discount, and a Sr. discount
for anyone over 62. *
FYI they have sites with both full hook ups and those w/water and electricity.
As of this moment, there are a fairly good number of each available. Most sites
also have fire rings. *
Some nice full hook up sites include 13, 14, 9, 10,11,4,6,17,16,18. Tami & I will
be in 15. These are all full hook ups, but there are also many very nice water/electric
sites. *
I spoke to the gatehouse and they recommend that you NOT make reservations on
line, but call toll free 888-329-8993. The reason for that is because if you reserve
online and need to cancel for bad weather (which is of course possible in January)
the fee is $10 for any length 2 weeks or more in advance, or one nights fee
if you cancel less than two weeks in advance. However,
if you reserve via the gatehouse, and then need to cancel, they can arrange a
credit for you for a future date. This information was given to me verbally over
the phone. I think we can trust its validity. Apparently, the website is outsourced
and does not provide that flexibility. *
There will not be any planned activities on Saturday, but Grapevine Mills, historic
downtown Grapevine and Bass Pro Shops are all only a couple of minutes away. :)

If/when a business meeting is to be held will be the decision of Madam President-AKA
Del :) Make
your reservation soon-hope to see everyone there! Anyone got firewood????? |
