    Not sure - we have

    Not sure - we have reservations in the Primitive Campground area at a State Park - it's not as 'crowded' and is quieter than the 'full service' areas (usually) and we have plenty of gear and have quite a bit of back country camping experience so in a State Park - no 'prob'.  Years ago, I worked as a back country guide for an outfitter in the Pasayten Wilderness, Mt. Rainier and the Olympics so have experience with truly 'primative' camping, packing in and I don't walk in/carry my/our gear - 4 legs do that.

    Our weather is still going crazy so who knows what will happen.  We are under Frost Warning tonight and Freeze Warning tomorrow night - so who knows what will happen?  Also snow again tomorrow.  I am seriously thinking about seeing if I can find a reservation that is 'indoor' (aka - motel) 'just in case'.  The older I get, the colder 'cold' gets.

    I think you asked this last

    I think you asked this last year.  Cool

    We stay in town because my husband works at a place that is always VERY busy on Memorial Day Weekend.  A lot of his family lives within an hour of here, and so I know some of us will get together Monday.  Usually we celebrate my mo-in-law's birthday Memorial Day Sunday or Monday, but she has not been doing too well.  So, that may be postponed a week.  My husband loves to work on the landscaping and the garden, and so it is nice to just enjoy being home and making use of our outdoor space.  As you know, we NYers can't plant gardens much before now.

    headed for the lake

    We rent a cabin each year at the same place.  I know the fishing is good and breakfast, lunch and dinner is always on the grill.  No cell phones.. no computers just good quality time with nature.   Only fireworks I'll see will be in my dreams as the frogs croke..

    Happy for you Girls**

    Very happy for all of you girls with your Holiday Plans.

    We may go out to eat but mostly just plan to stay home ....  AND RELAX ...it was in the 90's here today and is supposed to cool off to the high 80s the rest of the week.   Cool  

    Oh wait ...we did purchase a DVD of Wolf Hall today at Barnes & Noble so will probably watch that  ...  Smiles & Hugs **
