Odd thing that.  Last year there was all sorts of noise on the Merry Rose, 
at least, about the PA turnpike and construction and all.  Inagine 
everyone's surprize that no one bothered to mention ANYTHING about the end 
of the turnpike being moved!!

Hm.  So very many folks I know don't do this night run any more.  Most have 
purchased camping potties from places like K-Mart.

Our camp is on a bit of a slope and we share the water spiggot with Iron 
Lance.  A few years back a joint project was worked out and set into action. 
  They dug a trench and buried a drainage line with a collector type box 
near the spiggot and we drain our sinks and their shower into that so we 
don't have the whole slippery muddy affair much any longer.  Much better!

Has anyone mentioned bleach water for final rinse of cookware and eating 
plates, etc?  (see! OFC)
