The manager of Camp Happy Hollow told me Friday afternoon that cavers can use his beautiful campground again for a caver gathering.
I asked him for the date of Saturday, May 21, and for the exclusive use of the entire facilities of the camp for a 3 day period that weekend. He "tentatively" agreed to that. A realistic goal is to hold an event as successful as the one was last year. But it is possible to do much better than that. For that to happen, we only need a few more cavers and better food. For the 20 something cavers that came last year, you will know what to expect and can help me spread the word about how fun this event is, and how inexpensive it is. For the rest of you, here is a aerial view of the campground.

If that loads a map, click on the blue word "Road" at the top right above the map, and scroll down to "Bird's Eye." If that loads a photo, the forest and the square next to it is Camp Happy Hollow, a 60 acre private forest. Facilities are a lodge, a cabin, a large covered pavilion with restrooms. Great hot-water showers, all the water and electricity provided for 18 shady spacious campspots each with covered picnic table. Hopefully we will set up a portable pool again, but that is a lot of work to take down. I will be providing tables, chairs, cooking equipment, and a little bit of food for the main event. And also, for people that show up with nothing, there will be extra camping gear, bicycles, etc. Disclaimer: Many caver's have a long list of activities planned this spring, and this event is not trying to compete with those an any way, shape or form. It is only a supplemental activity. It is open to anyone that likes cave related topics, not just cavers.
