Well it is finally coming together... the Mid Eastern RH/RTB gathering!
When:
Arrive: Friday, July 11th (evening) Leave: Sunday, July 13th
Where:
Kiptopeke State Park in Cape Charles, VA (Eastern Shore of VA)
http://www.dcr.state.va.us/parks/kiptopek.htm
How much:
$22 per night for a regular "shaded" camp site. (No electric or water hookups) Access to bathroom and shower. A group site (that will allow us to setup up together) is available but requires a reservation of at three or more sites at one time. The full camping fee needs to be paid at the time of the reservation. I will reserve and "front" the cost of those first three sites for people that will either mail me a check or send me a pay-pal payment. Please let me know ASAP either by PM or email. (Heres the link for the reservations site:
