YES, THIS IS MORE LIKE IT. However why are the
camping rates so high?? 60.00< I can stay at a hotel
with a kitchen area for 60.00 here in upstate ny.
Camping at campgrounds here is more like 15 or 20
dollars a night. Also is there a smaller fee
available for people like me that cant afford to pay
375 dollars to attend.\
