OKAY!!! Happy Campers:
On the above dates Central Ohio Westies will be at STROUDS RUN STATE PARK.
It's a few miles East and North of Athens, OH.  The group camping area is
taken already, so we will be in the regular site area.  See:
> http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/strouds.htm
Looks like the park is on County Road 20 off Rt. 33 just North of Athens.

In checking with the park, "Cindy" said no problem with circling in this
area. We just can't move the fire rings around.  No hookups, no showers, pit
toilets.  The park is usually under-used in October, so she said we should
have no problem with as many sites as needed.  Two vehicles per site (with a
max. of six souls) at $11 per site per night... self registration.

Already signed up are the Jeff & Kim, Jeff & Jenny (sans kids), and Stephen
& Colleen (with Spencer)...
Tom & Kathy and Chili Man Frank have responded that they will be with our
COVVWC friends at Kelley's Island to the far North.  COW opted to browse the
early Fall pastures and hills in the originally scheduled Southeastern Ohio
area and hopefully enjoy a bit warm October weather.

Friday night is, as always, optional.  Saturday night will be our
traditional pot luck dinner.  We might want to do a "mini" Burrito or
pancake breakfast if anyone is up to the task. I will bring an exterior
stove and perhaps we could use another to do things right.

I have never been to the park... Greg Kessler at OU gave it a thumbs up. We
will expect a good time no matter the weather.  Perhaps we'll see some of
our VW camper friends from across the Ohio River (?) as I am posting this to
the Vanagon List and Westfalia Owners.

Sunday early afternoon we might want to do a caravan out for a little Fall
colors touring before we split up and go our separate ways... we'll see.
Jonathan... we'll follow you a while to make sure you can make it home :)  .

So give me a note in response so that I can give the park a heads up on our
numbers.

BTW,  I will be culling the COW Membership list fairly soon... so if you
haven't responded recently (like in a year)... you might want to do so. Or
if you are reading this from another site and want to get our e-mailings
respond and I'll add you to the list.
This doesn't mean that you need to have shown your smiling face... just that
you want to be on the mailing list.

Pack up the VW camper, Westy or van and come on out for the last COW campout
of the year.
