Casper:

Sounds good. I'm planning to participate, either with Anne and our dog
Mickey or just with Mickey if it turns out that Anne can't make it. Either
way, I/we will not need lodging.

I recently found a small slide-in camper that fits my Tacoma pickup. It's
well used, and quite old (manufactured in 1986), but is in good condition.
I'm currently in the midst of a fix up-clean up project. The camper will do
me/us just fine.

My check for $50 will be in tomorrow's mail.

Looking forward to the adventure, and of course to seeing you and some
NANFA friends once again.

Bob
