Just reserved my campsite at the Locust Lodge Campground. The person there told me all the cabins and electric sites at the campground were booked for that weekend. Non-electric sites still available. This may be a bit strange with the big AA gathering that weekend. I didn't plan on joining just yet, so I'll just bring along a red Solo cup and keep it cool.

My campsite's reserved!
I've made my reservation at the Locust Grove campground for Friday & Saturday nights! I'll put up my cute little "pup tent" (or as Rich Allen told me, the bears call those tents "HOT POCKETS"). Should be a great weekend!
