Hey everyone,
I just found out we can't enter the campsite until noon of Friday. If you plan on arriving in Colorado on Thursday, you may need to find a hotel in Longmont or Estes Park. Longmont may be cheaper.

Plan on arriving at the campsite around 11:30.

If you stay in Longmont or arrive Friday morning, you can come by my place first and we'll caravan to the campsite.

Also, if you can, stay an hour extra on Sunday to help clean the campsite up. It would be greatly appreciated.

There is still room in the cabins.
