Thisis the place Me & Shehatesmyhobbys(I think) stayed last fall I cant remember the name. nice place though

Cool beans,I assume this is a local camp ground? I couldn't get in close enouph to see the sign. Did you make a res or just show up?

Found the name it is Seashore Campsites. I just showed up.
(Man I really need to clean out my truck)

Thanks man I will check it out.

Silver, is that the place we stayed at last october? Or was that the october before? I'm losing track of time...

If its the same place, it was really nice. Campsites werent especially large, but it was convienent and the price was right.

Hey, Ragden, gettin' fuzzy, eh? lol Last spring we stayed at the Beachcomber camping resort, remember?(LBJ's friend runs that one) Then fall was the Apollo. I was extremely spoiled by both bashes, spring was great, fall even better. IDK if this spring can top either, but it will be great to get together. Is it May, yet??? I can't wait!:D

That sounds familiar. I was actually refering to a camping trip Silvereaglekiter and I did in October of... 08? We camped the first night at Cape Henlopen, and the second night at a campground in near Wildwood. Dont recall which it was, but it worked out quite well.

I do recall the last spring bash where we all camped. Was fun, aside from the rain. If we camp, it would be nice if we could get co-located camping spots, not like last year when we were all over the place...

I do think Seashore might be closer to the action, than the Beachcomber. Yeah, would make a common area easier to arrange, loved the slideshow at the spring bash last year!

yes that is the same place. Last year I camped behind the pond the tent sites back their are much bigger then the one we camped on in 08. I think I'm leaning towards staying at the Apollo this year.

I'll be following everyone else. If the crowd is at the Apollo, thats where I'll be.

I'll be at the Apollo.

Interesting, just tried to make reservations at the Apollo. In the fall I paid the reservation deposit by credit card, this time he's insisting that I have to mail him a check :puzzled:? Anyone else tried to make reservations yet?

That sounds very familiar...

I would think that it's a safe bet that you won't need a reservation to get a room at the Apollo.

Hey guys. Since many of you guys are more familiar with the area than myself does anyone know the names of the hotels surrounding the Apollo? I'd like to stay in the general area for convenience but try somewhere new. The giant six or eight legged creature in the bathroom that could have swallowed my buggy whole last october kind of has me wanting to try a different spot. Any suggestions?

The Days Inn of Wildwood is good. Make sure you mention why you are there, and they might cut you a discount. You can also contact the Ocean Beach resort. Their condos are amazing. Expensive, but REALLY nice. Both of these locations are about a mile down the road from the Apollo. Both are within walking distance of the Pier.

kteguru, if you stay somewhere else let me know. I could be convinced to do that.

Thanks for the tips ragden I'll check them out.

Maven, I'll let you know what I find in the next couple days. I'd like to stay in the general area for convenience if we're all launching from the beach in front of the Apollo like last year. I got an offer on a condo just up the road but the price was in another universe. Let me see what I can dig up and I'll get in touch with you in the next couple days.

I agree with you about wanting to be near the launching area 100%.

The question is, how close do you want to be, and how much do you want to pay to be there.... Apollo might not be GREAT, but the price is hard to beat (scary spiders aside)...

Your probably right ragden. The Apollo may end up being the way to go. I just thought I'd poke around a bit to see other options . That spider by the way was the size of my hand:o. Perhaps it was just a bit of bad luck getting the scary room. I'll blame Buggydanny since he's the one who got the room

I dought the monster would eat more than one person anyway. I know I haven't seen it but I have some big spiders here. And we are still all alive.
And maybe it was really just the welcoming commity :dunno:

Welcoming commity. If I thought of it that way I wouldn't have jumped when I saw it :D. I know buggydanny is bringing his wife and son this year. If there's any tarantula's in her room she will first kill the bug then kill Dan

Do we now have an official person wearing a pink skirt on the East Coast now? :P We had a couple of barking tree spiders in our room and you didn't see us complaining



Is it May yet?

Not quite yet Todd. I cant wait myself...

Spiders that bark? Man, mother nature is out of control. And you'll only be seeing the back of my pink skirt as I leave you all in the dust :wee:.

I think that assigning blame to me might not be appropriate. I got the room, but I never saw the creature and I did look for it.

Please remember that you were suffering from sleep deprivation and your body was probably in shock from eating processed unnatural food for the first time in years. You very well may have been hallucinating and the insect or spider may not have existed or might have been only a 1/4 inch long. It sounds a lot like a "big foot sighting" to me.
