<DIV>I have a couple of questions for the populace regarding Guardian this
year. I have a tentative date with the Broken "O" this year awaiting
approval. Before I finalized this I wanted to get the opinion of the
populace. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do we want to go with the Broken "O" period or shall we compare prices with
other sites that already have amenities such as water and bathrooms and a mowed
site?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Considerations are the cost of bringing in water, cost of extra
porta-johns, and cost of rental of a brush hog mower (unless we have access to
one again this year) or cost of having it mowed. Cheree says she could mow
it on her riding mower but it isn't running right now.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I drove around some yesterday looking at potential sites. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I found a place in Garner called West End RV Park that says they are
willing to work with us for $450, but the place is pretty trashed out in the
wooded areas. He says he could have it cleaned up by April but I would be much
more sold on a clean site than the promise of a clean site. On the other hand
they have bathrooms, showers, electrical hookups and a nice, long, flat field
that would be really good for pavilions and list fields.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Looked at Tres Rios. Looked like it may be a little pricey for us and
there would be a lot of mundanes but they have all the amenities the site is
well kept and it sounded like they would be willing to work with us. PS
next Yule autocrat might want to check out the renovated Palaces
1,2,&3. They each have a little kitchenette with stove, fridge, sink
and microwave. They can be rented individually or all together (they are
separated by curtain partitions) which would give a feastocrat three
kitchens to work with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Drove out to Keller's Campground in Mineral Wells. The sign said they
were closed so I decided to check some other spots and call for an appointment
if ya'll think it would be a good idea. I did notice that it seemed the
neighbors were right on top of the campground though.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Willow Lake Gardens, where Springfare is going to be would cost $900 for
the weekend but we would not be able to get the area that Springfare is going to
be using. It would have to be the Barn site that is not scheduled to be
completed until May I believe.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Camp and Fish wouldn't do a group rate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Went to Buck's onthe Brazos. Spoke with JR (appears to be a caretaker
maybe) He said I would need to speak with the boss Scott for a group rate and
reservations. JR sounded really interested in the SCA though. I told
him about forge night and drew him a map. He may show up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please ya'll give me some feed back on this as soon as you can and if you
can think of some other places for me to check out let me know.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks ya'll. I'll keep you posted.</DIV>
