I'm not real big on sweet liqueurs, but have found a couple that agree with me. I'll have to try Apfelkorn...then chase it with my Jack D!

I'm planning to be back at Sherwood for three weekends, Feb 18,19,25,26 and Mar 16,17,18. I'll be hoteling it in Elgin.

I'll be out the 18th & 19th of February, with Clan MacGiggle and the "official" International Wenches' Guild invasion (meaning that the Local 13 Madame & Vice Madame will be in the shire).  Our Laird's birthday is the 20th, and after last year's celebration in the shire, he decided that it would be an excellent tradition to continue. I'm thinkin' some will be camping & others will be hotelling it. Personally, I'm planning on the hotel, but have no idea where yet, likely Bastrop. We'll have some out both days, and a handful only on Sunday.

Husband and I will be there opening weekend! Also, this will be our first time camping! I haven't been camping in years and I'm so excited that I will be out there, sleeping under the stars and meeting new friends at night, and going to faire during the day!

You really can't beat Sherwood's camping.  Truly the best Renfaire camping experience in my opinion (o:

[LadyStitch]

We many try camping next year, but not this year with the fuzzlet being only 5 months old opening weekend.  I would love to try it but I would have to find a way to keep the PP warm.  That pirate prefers the warm climates vs the fridged waters.

... I haven't been camping in years ...

After looking at your profile to get an idea of what "in years" meant, I got tickled... I haven't been camping in years either...since before you were born... It just struck me as funny, but I'm pretty strange.

I have to admit that our little pirate princess didn't start camping until she was over a year old.  But for the pirate who prefers warmer climates, including myself, one cannot beat the modern marvel called the Mr Buddy big tent heater.  We would not survive Sherwood camping without it.  (o:

We were given an extended loan of a small tent heater. It made the PP a much happier camper  when the temp dropped to 35 degrees when we were at TRF. Depending on how TRF goes we may try next year.  We are eyeing a new tent, and new sleeping bags.  We shall see.

All in all I'm missing my Ren family. I've been without them since last may and I'm begining to twitch!

And I love strange Merlin! Yes, I know I'm a wee one around these parts, and I will be bothering all of you with my inane questions for years now, so get used to it!

The last time I camped, it was with my family in the middle of a North Carolina heatwave, and all it took to send little me scampering back home was a very loud and very close heat thunderclap near our campsite, and I was on the phone with Dad asking him to come pick my sister, my mom and I up through a crying fit. And to think, nowadays I summon thunder and converse with water spirits!

Also - is there group camping at SWFF? This being our first time of many, I get the feeling that camping near people either from these forums or just people friendly to newcomers would be EXTREMELY helpful in helping us get settled in. Any tips, anyone?

SWFF is unique in that they have split their camp ground up.  There is a general camp area where anyone and everyone is allowed to setup a tent.  There is a bon fire area here and in some cases plenty of room for small tent trailers.

Along with the open general camping is the reserved group camping.  This area has been set aside for established groups.  They are allowed to camp in the same spot each season as long as they maintain their area and keep a certain number of campers in their area.  It is for this last reason that you will see some groups petitioning people to come camp with them.  They need the numbers (o:

If you are a first timer to SWFF and would like to camp with other forum members give Teach a shout.  Teach is with Phoenix Risen. They have a good sized area.  He can give you the details on their rules and availabitlity.

Depending on which weekends you intend to visit SWFF and how many you plan to bring with you, our camp usually has room for visitors as well.  We are Clan Procrastination and are two doors down from PR.  If you would like more info about our camp feel free to send me a private message.
