ANST - Was Gulf War, now late arrivals

[Vicki Marsh]

Gideon,

You are a saint!!  So many times I have just fallen asleep for about an hour
or so after a long drive and set up when someone even later than our group
comes into camp.  Most people are at least trying to keep quiet at 3 am (or
4, or 5) but I have actually had to get up and ask people to please not yell
across the campground.  Sometimes, the cussing at each other (and the hammer
that just hit a thumb in the dark)is ugly and offensive.

It wouldn't be so bad, but the children have a tendency to wake up at the
first crack of dawn (around 6).

Of course, it *wasn't* me who suggested that the children play kick ball
next to the offending campers' tents Sunday morning after they were drinking
late into Saturday night (hehehe....).

Greetings,

Sorry for the bandwidth, but I have an quick suggestion for those whose
schedules will have them arriving at Gulf Wars late at night.  If for
financial
reasons you decide not to motel it prior to arriving on site, then you may
want
to consider pulling up to your encampment and sleeping in your vehicle until
daybreak.  That way you are a little more alert and rested for the unpacking
and camp setting up, you have light to see by, and you have people to help
you
set up.  I have done this a number of times and found my encampment
appreciative that I did not try to recruit their help at 3 am and found my
war
more pleasant because my encampment got set up with more care and attention
to
detail then would ever have happened on the heels on a long car trip, in the
dark, with sleepy help, ... you get the idea.  Just a thought.

In service,
Gideon
