Fire ring or no fire ring. I won't be bringing any wood.

Has the fire ring been reinstalled? I recall that it was removed some time ago (for the second time in recent years) due to morons being morons.
I saw a recent post on Facebook of people sitting around a fire. It may be back, or it may only be put down on weekends.

3 of us from Muskegon are committed so far.
$4.59 a gallon in a 454 big block dually.
It’ll be worth it to get some last shots of the CPL’s.
I hope the gas prices and drive don’t discourage folks from the group attending. Had a great time in Durand a few years back. Hoping to meet a few folks face to face that I have keyboard babbled with over the years.
It'll be over $5/gal by then. I can't justify spending the money on this trip any more. Maybe next year.

I will be there arriving Friday afternoon with Vinnie5497. We were hoping to have power in our tent. How many outlets are in the shelter? Could we possibly run an extension cord from the shelter to our tent?

Thank you to all of those who came to the meet. Had a very enjoyable weekend with you all. I know gas prices and other factors can hinder the attendance, but a sincere thank you to those who make the effort to come to these gatherings.
Conversations were enjoyable, rain held off making for a dry camping experience, liked meeting the new members and listening to stories from previous meets :)
Here's a few photos:
Frisbee and baseball time was a great addition. Trussell was able to attend virtually via Trussell Jr. The ballast cleaner running was a nice treat.

Couple more pics:
Thankfully we were still able to use the eel house. Smell from the standing water nearby wasn't great at times though.
