[Ponte Alto] Firewood at Pennsic

[L E Storey]

All --

I asked the land agent of a group i used to camp with about their
firewood source; following is his reply:

> We always order firewood from Reicharts (sp?).  They sell by the load or
>half load.  Their phone number is always in the Pennsic merchant guide.  We
> usually get a load early, which is generally enough for a cooking fire
> nightly for the group.  If your friends are firebugs or like bigger fires,
> they may need a load and a half or two.

Cheers,
-Iohanna
