[Ponte Alto] URGENT Pennsic Encampment News

[Marsaili Johnston]

Yes, but I'm finding that people who have 10x12 mundane tents -- no extra space needed for ropes -- are being told that they're over their allotted space.  How is this being figured?  That's 120 square feet by my calculator.

You're not taking into account that everyone has to give up 75 sq. ft. of 
their 250 for the camp's common area. That only leaves you with 175 sq. ft. 
which means that if your tent fits into 250 sq. ft. exactly, you now have 
to buy a ghost so your tent fits, or bring a smaller tent.
