Hey all,
With great excitement (and a bit of nervousness of the unknown), this past Monday, I made my reservation at Katahdin Stream Campground for campsite #16 for June 7, 2017.
I am a solo SOBO hiker and will be setting up my Tarptent Notch. The description provided of the campsite says that campsite #16 can fit 2-3 tents with a maximum capacity of 6 people so I thought I would see if another SOBO was interested in sharing the spot and splitting the cost? The reservation for the night was $32 so it would be $16 for the night if someone wants to take me up on this offer.
I have a Paypal account that you could send the money to me. I know...I know...you're probably thinking "Why am I going to send money to some guy I don't even know?" I know it's not a perfect situation but after you send me the money, I will email you a copy of the Reservation Confirmation. I spoke with the ranger at Baxter State Park and she said they are only concerned with the capacity at the campsite so the reservation is in my name but I can have whoever I want at the site as long as I don't go over the capacity. If someone wants to see the Reservation Confirmation before sending the money, I can email you a copy with my personal information redacted just to keep a little of my privacy.
I hate to ask for money beforehand but I don't want to have someone say they want the spot and then not show up when there might have been someone else who could've used it and really wanted to use it.
With all the money I've spent on gear and all the money I'll be spending on the trail, I just figured saving $16 is saving $16 so I thought I'd extend this invitation and we could both save some money.
PM me if interested.
Sorry for the long post.
111 days...can't wait!!!
Thanks,
Mike
