    Just got off the phone with Portal. NO tent sites at all until the 10th. Not even the individual ones. Apparently there is a rally there that weekend and they dont rent out tent sites during rallys

    Not sure what I"m going to do about saturday and sunday nights now, too much of a pain to set up my tent somewhere else then move it after a couple days. And with a rally, other non tenting options may be very limited.

    EDIT:

    Just looked at their events calender and they dont have a rally listed for that weekend, just stuff during the week...

    They told me it is a motorhome rally, big megabuck pushers. So I doubt that would affect the hotels much.

    I guess we have to decide if we are going to go through the PITA of moving camp on Monday to Portal, or just staying somewhere else all week. I'm temped to just go to Canyonlands for the week, taking my business elsewhere if Portal won't accommodate us.

    Or maybe I'll sleep in the Trooper Sunday night. I'm guessing sunrise looks pretty cool from Gold Bar Rim...
    95 Trooper with a buncha stuff nobody here cares about...

    Hey guys! We are a group. I think those coming to camp should stick together if not for the friendship....then maybe because we need 10-15 people in a group in order to reserve the group site.

    That's just my 2 cents.


    Peace.
