Had to practically fight off a full force invasion of PR lands last Celtic Christmas, when a whole group tried to move into the spot where the PR kitchen traditionally goes, and they still managed to take a large chunk of our territory before several car and truckloads of our folk showed up to help keep them from running over the whole area.  I strung some clothesline between trees and hung 4-5 seriously long sari's on them as a barrier to at least keep the kitchen area open, and it was all I had to mark the area, but it worked well enough... until it started raining, and then I just had 25 yards of wet saris to deal with.  We had the kitchen space, though!  lol

Wasn't that the group who showed up with a leaf blower?  If it wasn't a leaf blower, it was some other very loud contraption.

Well, they don't have to worry about that this year...

No worries about a kitchen, but now we have a large party tarp tent thing. Got it a couple of weeks back.
10x30 with walls. Expandable with any other EZups that come along as well.
Other than AHE I will have it there in time to set up early enough for no problems on land grabbers.
AHE I hope to pass it along to someone in time for them to set up early.
Opening Saturday is the Lovely Lady Trinn and my 6th anniversary of getting married in those same campgrounds. There will be a bit of a party that night.

*stop on by and share some rum!*

Congrats Teach!  Any more than a few years, these days, is an accomplishment!  

Cool on the kitchen set up!  Sounds like y'all got yourselves a mead(rum) hall!  Now all you need are a few Vikings...

Can you share what kind and where did you get the tarp tent?

[*Teach*]

The one I got was this one, but I can't find the link to the vendor I got it from. Do some searching and you can find a better deal with better reviews.

If I can find the right link I will post it
The Lovely Lady Trinn wanted this one:

Yeah, I completely busted out laughing on that one, the wife looked at me funny (o:

[PollyPoPo]

I don't know, KiltedPrivateer. 

Pink is kind of nice and you're always surrounded by lovely ladies. Plus it would make finding camp a lot easier in the middle of the night cause that thing would glow nicely from the faintest embers in a campfire.

No, the leaf-blower folks were the group that showed up the night before, and took MY tent spot!  This other group was the one who showed up the next morning as Scally and I were setting up our tent on the crappy spot those first people left us, a bunch of belligerent 20-somethings who were determined to press the "first-come-first-serve" rule... and who didn't much care for being right next to our fire circle, with drums and guitar going most of the night, or for everyone walking around and between their tents the whole weekend.

I know, Fraser... and won't THAT be nice!?!  Designated clan areas are awesome...   


Teach, can't wait to see the new party/kitchen set-up!  Looks like it will be roomy enough for everyone to hide in when the skies open up!

opening weekend of last year we showed up very early friday morning to find a tent staked in the  middle of our site, we had to find another spot but the odd thing was no one ever used the tent. it looked to be abandoned . we were pretty annoyed that we had to move our site of 15 yrs for aparently no reason.
i am thinking about going up thurs afternoon and staking a claim.
