Does this mean we're back to Southern Route Camping..... and done with the wild game menu???

Thank you Jim.  We are taking copious notes...

GROUND CLOTHS: I've had great luck with cheap 8 x 12 plastic painters drop cloths.  They cost a little over a buck each, and don't take up much room.  Roll them up in the morning and throw them away (to be recycled... of course).

Tom, it should be an All The Way next year on the Southern Route, so take good notes again this time.  Thanks for all that you do... I think you've gotten the FNGs thinking about the thousands of volunteers who make this happen every year.

Correect me if I am wrong but is not the object of the hunt to be able to eat what you kill...lol.... unless of course you are hunting for stew, then the ammo would produce less work at the cleaning stage...LOLLOLLOL

Yo, Krystal!

Shower bag?  Hanging from a tripod of fresh cut saplings?  Outstanding!

You are in charge of rubbing the sticks together each night to get the fire started, and while you are at it, be sure to take the time to shoot something tasty to cook on it...

Took my son camping for Cub Scouts this weekend.  Tried out my shower bag to make sure I had everything I would need on the run.  I found some very thin towels and wanted to see how fast they would dry.  Everything was great!

I'm not sure who sets up the Prado camping, I assume whoever did it last year will do it again?

On the map, you will see "Prado Reservoir" at the south end of the park.  It is a long winding road, but that is probably where we'll be- at least that's where they have put us before.  You will recognize the group...

Just come to hotel in RC, there will be other riders you can follow. 
 
To answer the person that called me at 0520, this am no we do not provide tents or cots for campers.       Sorry if I wasn't very friendly I had only been asleep less that 2 hrs.

OK, the question is not dumb, but I did not see anything about arriving in the day or night.  I just do not like setting up a site in the dark.  Thank you Sidewalk.  Now I just need to find my way to Padro Park.
