361.0. "End of summer camping trip" by POWDML::VENTURA (Bad spellers of the world, UNTIE!!) Wed Aug 09 1995 14:39

    Well, it's the last month of summer.. bummer!!!  But we can at least
    celebrate by having a camping trip!! 
    (bring wood ... bring wood)

    Yup,  it's  a continuation of the camping  trips/  fall  follige  trip/
    ski trips/ Bar-b-que's that have gone on for the past four years.  
    (noooo,,, not all at  once, silly...  We are creative, but not  THAT  
    creative!!!) (bring wood)  

    We're planning a trip for Labor day weekend to Ashaway, RI, about 
    15 minutes from Misquamicutt (Ok, how do YOU spell it?) beach.  
    The beach is a really nice, clean beach and there's also a ferry
    there to go to Block Island.  I've reserved a number of sites in a 
    local campground.  Cost per site will be $8 per person per night.  
    
    Everyone must contact ME if they'd like to go.  I will in turn call the 
    campground with a list of names.  I will need one night stay deposit
    ($8) no later than Friday, August 25th.

    Here are just SOME of the features about this trip!!
    
15 minutes to the ferry to Block Island.  
lots of local beaches.    
Plans  include "bond"fires every night on campsites. (bring wood)
I'm planning on going at LEAST one day to Block Island
Maybe hit the beach on the other day
plenty  of biking for any so inclined, 
Basically you're free to do whatever you want!  You can either go
off on your own or you can join in with the rest of the group!
(bring wood .. bring wood)

    Other than the "Major Events", activities are NOT planned, and everyone
    is free to go their own way.  That  means  that  those who get up early
    with the birds & want to take off are encouraged  to,  and  to not wait
    around for us sleepy heads who just got to sleep an hour or two before.
    Everyone can either go their own way, or join in with whomever is doing
    whatever as the mood hits.  There's always plenty to do.

    As for food ... everyone is required to bring their own food for these
    trips.  I will not be doing any type of food plan this year (at least
    for the camping trips). 

If interested, contact me for more details.  I can be reached at 
POWDML::VENTURA.  Please note, I do have a job too!  So I may not get to 
your message right away.  It may take a few days!

    Looking forward to one last summer trip!!!

    Holly,
    
    You forgot to remind people to bring wood! ;-)
    
    Sometimes, distance can be a pain!

    So Terrie, are you in the "Oh my! So much to do, so little time" 
    or the "So what, I'm on holiday as from tomorrow" phase?
    
    Hope you have a wonderful vacation.

    Well Jackie, I lost a whole day of preperation yesterday because
    Matthew had a bad asthma attack at the sitters, and I had to meet 
    her at the hospital with him.  We were there till 11:00pm! (Yes, he
    is fine now.)
    
    Sooooooo... I'm half in the 'so much to do' phase, and half in the
    'this can't come soon enough' phase.

    Sounds familiar.....
    We have a lot to do here. I'm currently writing a paper. Then make
    a presentation for my manager to hold next week. And more tests.
    And vacation coming up..... 
    
    I am very glad that Matthew is better now.

    Sorry to hear about Matthew, but pleased he is fine.
    
    Have a good vacation.
