> 
> "...Coopers Lake Campground has lost their lease on 1.3 acres of that section
> of the property [meaning, block E28].  Unfortunately, the lost section
> includes the road in and the part of the stream that has been the classic
> swimming hole itself.  This area is now fenced off from the campground.
> 
> Dave Cooper has been in touch with the Pennsic Staff about this and is very
> concerned.  He realizes taht the area is a favorite for many groups.  Coopers
> Lake Camp Ground is taking several steps to make life easier.
> 
> First, the camp ground is building a new road from the Causway into the
> remaining part of E28.  This means that some groups may camp there but there
> will be no direct access to the stream from this camping area.
> 
> Second, there will be a new Classic Swimming Hole area further up the causway,
> on Cooper owned land.  This will be a relocated classic swimming hole.
> 
> Third, the Coopers have finished clearing brush and have planted grass seed on
> the area labeled E20.  There will be room for 80 or so additional people in
> that block now.
> 
> Finally, the Coopers are planning one or more foot bridges across the stream.
> Individuals or groups that wish to camp on the other side of the stream will
> be allowed to, but please be advised that you will need to break ground and
> clear brush.  There will be no vehicle access to this area..."

> We are waiting to hear from people who attended Aelthelmearc War Practice this
> past weekend to find out how the new classic swimming hole area looks.
