Several questions...

can you tell me what the costs involved are? is it just fuel, campground, and food, basically?

any fee's to go on trailrides or the raffle/dinner?

I have three daughters ranging from 4.5 to 6months. We're considering bringing the two older ones. Think they'd have a good time? They're already good campers!

pic. thread of the camping spots?
 
Fuel & food are somewhat mandatory costs. Campground's $28/night where the group is. Some folks stay at the Motel 6 in town, or at a friend's, etc. Some folks just drive up for the day (but from San Diego with younger kids, I'd think you'd be better off using the girls' camping skills.

The raffle & dinner are both optional; the raffle tickets will be for sale, as will the dinner tickets. There is no fee for the trail rides. I would presume your girls would have fun, as it's pretty & camp-esque up there. May be cold, may be balmy (it was beautiful last year, though!).

I did not know you were a" Madam" Carol Nice.....SANTA
Hey, if I was, I sure wouldn't be as broke as I usually am!! So I think that's one thing I'll have to declare myself innocent of...
 
Wow, Karen, I had no idea you thought like that! (Yeah...right). Actually, "pranking accordingly" could be about right, on some trips (like the one with the wandering gnome).
 
Please note event date change, new event dates are May 7 - 9 2010.
 
I might bring family up for day.
