    You didn't have to pay to camp last year. You had to pay to park. If you didn't have a car it would have been free.

    I don't know about this year

    Same as last year. You only pay if you want to park inside the campground. $10 for the whole weekend.

    A-Train goes to that gay, liberal hippy wannabe college in Vermont. Smoking dope is more important than proper spelling. Asinine my azz!

    Haha, many thanks to both of you for pointing out my spelling errors, I am an english major afterall. Anyway, it rhymes with malign, no?
    And as always Wolf, thanks for the kind words about my institution. Sorry but I don't smoke, that's for punks.

    Thanx Wolf, again, very informative.

    And it's gratifying to see that the First Baptist Church is screening Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" at 8:30 on Friday night.

    I can think of all sorts of folks who'd benefit from attending.

    Think I'll pass on it, tho.

    I already know how it ends.

    so if you park your car inside the campground its $10 it's free if you just set up camp correct?

    Correct. Those who arrive at the campground on foot don't have to pay to camp. The fee is for those who enter the fenced-off campsite with a vehicle.

    I found the itinerary on the website difficult to read - so here is a word doc putting everything onto one page. Don't know if you'll find it useful, just sharing the work!
    So be it.
