Looks like Opelia is bringing rain. Be prepared!

I think I’ll be doing the same thing, leaving Thursday night, catching a few Zzz’s, then heading to West Virginia in the morning. Hopefulyl I’ll ahve timet o nap beforethe rest fo ya’ll come to invade!

We will be coming through Clarksburg — looks like its is probably @20 miles from the park.

We will be full… but for a short distance we could fit you in if you don’t mind dog We are planning to NOT haul a lot of food… figured we would set up at the campsite and then go into town for supplies. Just makes more sense when we are going so far.

As far as timing goes… we are planning to leave here Thursday night, drive ’til late, then crash for a few hours and drive the rest of the way in the AM. So that means we should be fairly flexible. So if no one else has room, just tell me when and where and we’ll make it happen

I got it cleared with my parents, but I still need some help. I have a number of options for bus tickets to West Virginia, but I need to hook up with someone when I’m there or else figure out some public transportation to the campground.

If I buy the bus tickets 7 days ahead (read: today, if I leave next Thursday; or tomorrow, if I leave next Friday), I get a huge discount — over 60 dollars. I’ll likely be riding the Greyhound bus up there. What would help me tremendously is if you could look at your transportation routes and timetables for if/when you will or could be in these cities:

Beckley
Bluefield
Charleston
Clarksburg
Huntington
Morgantown
Parkersburg
Wheeling

(all of these are in West Virginia. Map)

Does anyone have any room anyway? It seems like people are already crowded.

Another option, if no one is traveling close to these cities, is that I could meet someone in a different state, but I’d still need to know where/when.

I have plenty of money, and will contribute for gas. The only other logistical concern other than catching a ride with someone is that I may or may not be able to haul a cooler of food with me, and so would need to stop at a grocery store on the way.

I’m counting on being able to get that discount, and so it’d be nice if I can figure out what my options are for riding with people rather quickly. Then I’ll know whether or not I need to look into catching a second bus from Wherever, WV, to Elkins, WV, where I would still need a shuttle of some sort to the campground.

Thanks, everyone! I hope I’ll be able to make it.

Anyone making a New England trip, too? Let’s share a ride.

I’ll be happy to take everyone out,and I’ll bring my mushroom books, and we can have a litle foray.

We can have a fire by friction drill! The fastest spark wins! hahahah

About camping and Ishcon: We want to see our friends more than a once a year conference! Ishcon is probably themost frugal and valuable conference I’ve ever been to. Now maybe if they would subcontract the food, I know these two guys who are going to be cooking a lot…heheheh….

for those of you who thought what you thought, it’s a good thing you were thinking.

It’s going to be so much fun camping.

Tent Mahal will rise again!

Love and Strength,
