David & others,
All forum members and their friends are welcome - the more the merrier.
For those who haven't attended one of these before, there are no registration fees and little in the way of organized activity. It's just a bunch of friends camping together and each of us participates as much or as little as they feel like. We usually have meals together each evening, either a pot luck or someone volunteers to prepare something for everyone (e.g chilli or a stew) and we often go out to a restaurant one night. The ladies usually get up a shopping trip or two and the guys may go off for a lunch or to tour some "man thing" (e.g. the aircraft carrier Yorktown is anchored at Charleston). People make ad hoc plans to visit local tourist attractions. We have happy hour every day around 4 pm and a campfire in social in the evening, weather permitting. We chip in for extra expenses, such as firewood, but mostly people just donate whatever is needed and we never come up short.
Looks like the dates are after Maryland-david's trip to Florida, though. 10/28-11/1.
