Back then, we camped/parked on the south side of 14/32, east of the ramp/hangars, with some parking/camping on the north side of 14/32. Showers were set up in the garage of the terminal. Will we still be camping/parking in the same areas? What's the set up for showers? I will also be camping this year and Wx dependent, arriving Saturday or Sunday, July 17th or 18th.

I purchased a solar panel to charge a battery pack during the day to run my fan at night (and charge cell phone and iPad). This boy is going off grid. I also have a Helinox cot (got one after I saw Ed’s. But mine is not yellow.). Cot beats sleeping on pad. Also have several “solar powered” lanterns. Charge them up during day and use them at night. Light weight and easy to pack. And this year I bought a hammock stand. Moving on up … Good wife, good friends & a Cessna 150. Life is good. Terry Monday 1976 C150M N9463U Greenville, NC
