Cincy Info / Questions

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

Roughin' it too.

With costs that I have burdened myself w/ lately (and _I_ am fully to
blame for ALL of them) and since the woman does not wish to accompany me
to the festivities, I think that for the cost of 1 night in the Ramada I
can easily score a tent, air matress, 12v voltage converter and supply
of rechargable AA's for the personal CD player. (Can you say, "Vying for
the cheapass catagory"?  ;^} )

Personal hygine concerns can be addressed by local waterways or a faucet @
the campgraound (more research is needed in this area I think. Just cause
in that if I choose to rough it shouldn't mean that others olafactory
senses should suffer for my attendance).

I'll be doing a little 'Net digging to see what might be closest, w/ best
amenities, etc. etc. and post up results. But don't expect them til
tomorrow, as I'm @ the place that pays me money to do something akin to
work (that is why my fingers are stained blue right now, I HATE cleaning
the crappy print cartidge cleaning reservoirs of HP inkjet printer!!!!).

<Research UPDATE>

Well Daun, you have yet again gone quite out of your way to be
hospitable to fellows of German motive insanity. You are correct there is
ample camping in the area but I don't think I'm choosing Thousand Trails
if I have my druthers.

The reason being:

Nope......not interested. I can rebuild ALL my Rocs brand new for that and
it sounds like a weekend full of high pressure sales.

Just a word out to other intrepid campers that they might want to pass on
the phone call.

COWAN LAKE STATE PARK, on the other hand, has both electric and
non-electric camping available for $15/$18 dollars respectively with lake
access, shower facilities, drinking water, and playground. The average
distance to each of these amenities is 150yds from the campsite and quiet
hours are from 10p to 8a.

Don't look at the cottages though, they're as expensive as
the Ramada.

Daun, would this be prohibitively far from anything, most importantly,
your abode?
