I have an opportunity to host a caver party on the evening of May 22nd. The owners of a private camp have offered to let me use their beautiful 60 acres and their facilities for $ 250 for a 3 day weekend.
This camp is something I have talked about before on Cavetex. It is just south of Lake Somerville and a few miles off of Highway 290. What I would like to try is to invite everybody for a Saturday evening cookout. My goal is to start a long term relationship with the owners, for something bigger in 2011 and beyond. Those attending the proposed cook-out would be allowed to camp from Friday evening to Sunday evening. If anyone is curious and wants to know more details, send me a message on Facebook. I will be sending out updates there. The problem at the moment is the owners want "special event insurance." They also want the $ 250, plus a $ 250 deposit by Dec. 31'st, or there will be an additional $ 50 charge as their rates go up for 2010. They claim they have never rented the camp before except to girl scouts. I would like to accept their offer, and don't believe they will make it again. I think at least 30 people would have to show up and pay $ 15 each to help defray the cost of hosting the cook-out. I would pay for the cook-out, if I could. Again, this is a tentative announcement with the primary purpose being to get some feedback - both negative and positive. The cook-out is the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. Is that a problem ?
