Good question.

So...has anyone looked into reserving camp sites? Should we all reserve our own, or should we try to get one big one that will accommodate the whole group?

According to the website it is on a first come basis...They say it fills up pretty quickly on the Friday. So we'll see when we get there Saturday. We're crafty people, I'm sure we'll figure something out!

I like your attitude. We are crafty people! We'll figure something out.

Also, my mom and dad are retired and in the summer, they volunteer at state parks and national parks in exchange for a free camping spot. I'll ask them if they have any suggestions. Last summer, they volunteered at Rock Cut State Park. It's not an Indiana State Park, but it was first come, first served.

unless someone can go Friday to reserve the campground. Another option is mail a reservation for later in the season.

I think it would be cool if we could reserve a spot big enough for the group- if we can get a # of definates.

I think it would be cool if we could reserve a spot big enough for the group, that would also secure a spot in case we ended up arriving super late due to more broken chain rings- - that is if we can get a # of definates.

Don...I was sortof thinking the same thing. I'm sure they have big sites for organized groups.

Who wants to take the lead on reserving a big spot? I'm happy to do it if no one is already looking into it.

Also, I was wondering if someone should post this as a Chainlink event so people can RSVP and we can get a decent idea of who's coming.
