Alrighty then. The per head rate is $14+tax. This all comes in under one reservation, which will be under "COG". This rate is good for a minimum of 10 people. If we come up a person or two short on Thurs night, the "official" line is we have ten people. We will just divvy up the number of people into $140, + tax.
You will not pay any camping fee to the camp ground, just tell them you are part of the COG group. You will be paying me.(please? )
Do not worry about the number of tents per site, they really don't care as our tents are mostly small and it is open site camping.
I hope to be there by about 3pm, even with a stop at Alabama Jack's on Card Sound Road on the way down. :great:
This will be a bit more frugal, and a whole lot easier than figuring out groups, thank (insert deity here).
Summing up: This has been a real adventure, dealing with this KKOA. I've been given different answers on several occasions, but now it has been repeatable for getting consistent answers. hat's it. Bring your happy face and have fun.
Also, they do have some beer, but selection is limited. Plan accordingly. They have a breakfast and coffee bar, so that's covered.

Mike. Tall Steve and I will be running the turdpike out of Whorelando to Yeehaw, then 441 so to Okeechobee, down the east side of the lake, hooking up with US 27. Taking that to Krome Ave to Homestead. Will take Card Sound road onto Key Largo, with a stop at Alabama Jack's for vittles and maybe one cold one.Bugnut said:Steve \ Al,
How are you heading down? Mind if I tag along? I am, as of this minute, not at work and will be able to get out of Dodge anytime Thursday. Heck, bike is even packed right now!
Let me know.
Mike
SteveJ. said:Weather is looking marvelous. Highs in the upper 70's, lows in the low 70's, dew points around 70. One small part of one day has a 20% change of rain, otherwise 10% through the weekend.
Of course, we are talking weather, things can change.
A couple of notes.
It sounds like some moonshine is coming down, Apple Pie and Lemonade, plus maybe more. :great: :great:
When you arrive, please check in at the office. Tell them you are with the COG group, with Steve Johnston as leader/site holder. Do NOT get your own site unless you want to pay $64/night, +tax. It is open site camping in the area we will be in. They will give you a tent pass and a vehicle pass. Please settle up with me at your earliest convenience. $14 + 12(?)% tax. Just under $16/night. I would also ask of you to please add $5 for firewood "donation" if you are not a COG member. Either I or Ironbutt Al should arrive mid afternoon, maybe earlier. Look us up on where to pitch up. Or not.

:confuse: Steve, I would have to guess since we have to stop at the office to get the passes, we pay for the camping directly to them? I would like to use plastic.
Bugnut said:Steve,
You expect to be in Yeehaw about 7 or so? I can meet you guys when you jump over to 441. If you expect earlier or later I can adjust.

Alan, the only way that you can use plastic to pay for this is to get your own site and pay the KOA. That will run you $64 +tax per nite. To re-emphasize, all are requested to pay me directly at your earliest convenience. Two methods of payment accepted, American cash and American currency. It should be just under $16/night w/tax. I will be charged by the KOA for each night that your tent pass is requested for. Again, check in at the office for a vehicle and a tent pass, then pay me for the number of nights.
I will get the exact amount from the campground upon arrival. Everyone's cooperation will be appreciated.

Hey Mike. Figure on us at about 7:15. I'm giving Tall Steve a bit of a reprieve and not leaving until 0530. Meet at the Pilot stop? Grab a cup and they do have a Subway there for a bite for breakkie.
Yup, that will make 5 at Yeehaw as Canadian Steve will be there also. Maybe room for one more...don't want too big of a gaggle headed down...or if there is enough interest, maybe two groups heading out.SandShark said:Steve,
You have room for one more to meet at Yeehaw Junction?
IronButtAl said:Alan, for a new experience, go to the bank, get some cash, and leave your credit cards at home. You can do this buddy. I know you can.............

The bus fare is $4 each way, old farts, 60 and up are $1.50. The fee for the KOA shuttle is $25.

Bruce from River Ranch here. Any chance to join up with this rowdy bunch headed for the Keys. Have never tent camped from my bike before, so had to do a trial fit. My gear is not the compact size needed for these things. Have cash and drink beer, so I thought it might work out. Would like to come across hwy 60 and meet your group at Yee Haw Junction. I know the Pilot station there.
