[DFT] Fw: [Elfsea] Guardian of the Tor

[Ms Pict]

Hi,
A slight correction. The new site for Guardian of the Tor is about a 5 min 
drive from our old site. And yes is does have electricity, RV hookups 
flushies and showers. However this is a very small site and will not be 
exclusive for our event.

Just an FYI
Janie :)

>There are also buildings that have showers and bathrooms, much like Canton.
