This is just a "heads up" post for the 8th annual "Fools in April" camp/motel get together. Terry has already reserved the campground for the weekend of April 16th. Details will follow.
Friday evening, April 15th and Saturday, 16th. This year Terry will be preparing some chili Friday night so bring lots of "Fritos" and your adult (or kids) beverage. Most of the stores have the standard brands--anything exotic you will have to get somewhere else on the way there.
The camping fee is the same as last year, $7.00 for one or two nights per person. I have a new tent that I have never put up so if you want some comic relief, come earlier. Here is a link to the site at outlet park:

There are motels on every corner and here is a link to the chamber of commerce listing motels and contact info:
http://pommedeterrechamber.com/lodging.html I just called "Willow Winds" 2 miles West of the Dam and they are open. The rooms there will be $60 per night. 800-556-5591. See you there!

Re: Fools in April
Is this event still on? Have not seen any updates.
Re: Fools in April
Yes, it's still on. I just posted the "updates" in the same original "heads up" post--second paragraph. Should be plenty of motel rooms that time of year, and if it does rain, we have a shelter with electricity (and flush toilets) at the campsite.
Right next to the river, so if you have a mo fishing license--you could drown worms. Hope to see you there!

Weather looks awesome, you did good! See you at the campfire.
Re: Fools in April, a few pix
Weather was perfect with great tent sleeping and eagles flying up the river right next to the campground. Here are a few I took and Bob K may add some of his later.

Leo and Bob:
Thank you for posting the pictures. I have never attended the "Fools in April", but after seeing how nice it was and how much fun you had, I will certainly put it on my calendar for next year. The pictures are great, glad you had such nice weather.
