> 1.) The only reservation is a paid one, period. People from all over the

(at

weeks

be
> adding to the feast number, but I wouldn't delay!

> 2.) There is absolutely no driving on-site. There is a parking area, and
> when it is filled, there is parking on the road side from the parking area
> BACK. A few took it upon themselves to drive their vehicles to the cabins
at
> Blue Mountain, in spite of being told not to. Let me make this desperately

some
> silly rule I have made up on the spot. The ranger said in no uncertain
terms

group

if
> we are to ever drive on it again. All help with enforceing this is
> appreciated, just find the autocrat if you see a car leaving the pavement
> toward the cabins.

> 3.) There is no parking past the troll cabin. The road does not accomodate
> two cars with out possibility of damage. The cook and others must have a

> 4.) The bed arrangements in the cabins are bad. There may be no beds, or
> eight of them stuffed in one cabin. I highly recommend floor bedding just
in

you

put

> 5.) There will be an open display catagory for the A&S. If you would just

> 6.) The Baronial Curia is at 9am on Saturday morning (all Baronial and
> Canton Officers please attend. Everyone else is invited too!) and the
> Kingdom Curia is Sunday morning at 9am (Kingdom Officers and group
> Seneschals please attend. Everyone else is invited too!).
