We usually check online, there are a lot of sailing events on that section of the river and the campground fills up, but later in the season, most of 'em. <br /><br />We saw the tents on the island. Given the wind there most of the time, I always though that would be like camping on Mt. Everest -- fabric whipping and flagging constantly, but more power to you.<br /><br />It's a great spot, though.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-7269704926997064652010-04-19T11:08:11.518-07:002010-04-19T11:08:11.518-07:00Hello Steve,

My fault. I helped secure the place for the nonprofit I work with. We take over the park and island one weekend a year. <br /><br />As you note, the trains were there in abundance, I too have learned to tune them out. However, if you'd been in the park or on the island (where I "slept") you might have missed out on your rest. On Saturday night the local kids whooped it up from 10pm til after Midnight. Haven't heard "toga, toga, toga..." in quite some time. Harder to sleep through than the East-bound freight. <br /><br />RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
