Spring scamble
When? April 18, 19 and 20.
Where??? Ocala Forest Campground- about 3.5 miles west of SR 19 on SR42...located adjacent to the beautiful Ocala National Forest!
How much? Camping will be $16 a night for tents...and $17 a night for full RV hookups. There are bathrooms with showers and 125 sites with electric and water hookups. Most of these should be available...but not all.
I have a plan for the camping.
My suggestion is that we coordinate sharing a campsite here BEFORE hand...and then keep in touch with your camp-mates as to who has arrived, who has checked in. There may be a nominal charge for each site for campers over 4 persons...but it will still be cheaper this way.
IE: Joe and John are each bringing themselves and 3 others. They arrange to camp together before hand. John arrives first and checks in for 8 people. When Joe and his group arrive...they find John by driving in and looking for him...or by calling etc.
For a two night stay...they pay a collective $48 ($16 a day, plus $2 a head for each person over 4.) vs. both parties having to pay $32 each...for a collective price of $64.
Since we all will have to share campsites to some degree or another...this may help us get a handle on it...and this way you can know ahead of time who you will be camping with!
See you there!

Yea, I'm still planning on going but it's a couple of months away so I haven't really planned anything yet. I won't know until it gets closer whether I will be able to take off Friday. I would like to leave Thurs. night if I can but if not I will leave after work on Friday. Let me know what your plans are and we will plan something.
