Greetings,
Things I like:
1) More compact site;
2) More handicap-accessible site;
3) Flatter site than Cimarron (once you get up the first hill);
4) Better cost...we may be able to lower the fees...I'll let you know next
meeting;
5) More cabin space...and they are in better repair;
6) Indoor space for court...we had great weather so we didn't need to use
it;
7) Fabulous weather;
8) Great bardic;
9) Great archery and throwing ranges;
10) Closer to our friends in the southern part of the Kingdom...which we
have been trying to do for years;
11) Immediately accessible off I-35...as opposed to wandering 30 minutes
off of it;
Things I don't like:
1) Ticks, ticks, ticks...(oh, Bianca already mentioned them)
2) Hall is too small for a feast larger than 75 or 80 people;
3) No facilities for equestrian activities;
Things we can fix:
1) We can talk to Lake Murray's park ranger...or find out what Rick sprays
for ticks;
2) Augment the hall with a large pavillion(s)...Cimarron is too small for
my taste;
3) Place more markers in camp...but folks get lost on sites they are not
familiar with...
my wife and I both got lost the first couple of times at Camp Cimarron...I
still get
turned around outside the main camp at Camp Dakani (talk about a hill).
Overall, I prefer Lake Murray to Camp Cimarron...but it won't work for the
equestrians.
Rock Creek Camp allows for equestrians...though I haven't heard back on its
availability...and its fees work out to be on par with Camp Cimarron.
The other thing to consider is Camp Cimarron's fees are about to go to $10
per weekend...that means charging adults $12 at the gate.
Regards,
Tadhg
ps. Camp 2 is not bi-level...no big hill on the way in.
