The weekend AFTER EASTER

DETAILS!! INFO!!

You NEED the AEP permit printed and filled out with you for FREE CAMPING
AEP is also 30 min away from any amenities..the local shop I used closed...we WILL be traveling by MANY places to get firewood/food/snacks/fuel thru the entire trip..and I will be stopping to get firewood on the way.
PETS and weird friends must be leashed. I learned the hard way years ago that not everyones pets are friendly to roaming dogs..lets keep everyone safe..
KIDS/WIFES...Bring them!! This will be as family friendly as can be..however after 10:30 there are quiet hours at AEP...but as long as we are good neighbors all is good..
ALCOHOL...AEP is DRY...NO DRINKING AND DRIVING PERIOD. *IF* you cant wait till camp...I can recommend some addiction counciling :)
