EricaH 0 #126 December 18, 2003 Yea, this looks great... still trying to convince s/o that this is a good boogie to go & MUCH less expensive that the Brazilian one. What's the weather like typically that time of year? Looking to shead the jacket & gloves. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Vallerina 2 #128 December 18, 2003 QuoteActually, it's rained the past few years IIRC. Out of the past three years, it rained only last year. But, being Mardi Gras, the weeks in which it lies varies. I was freezing at night, and I don't think I'll tent out there again. I'm also a pansy.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricaH 0 #130 December 18, 2003 [winey voice]I wanna trailer[\winey voice]. So, too cold to camp Val? I'll keep that in mind. Are all the hotels near eachother? And I'm guessing you have to drive so there has to be a DD every evening - THAT sucks! I wanna go, but also want to spend my $$ on some place warm. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

Of the past years there hasn't been a MG boogie that it DIDN'T rain at least 1 day. Last years was the worst though. Mike has extended the boogie for this very reason.

jumpdoc 0 #135 December 18, 2003 Clayton, are you sure Mel is on here more than you are? Hmm...toss-up. Miami...does that mean you are staying with us...maybe you can babysit while I jump, no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurel 0 #136 December 18, 2003 QuoteAre all the hotels near each other? And I'm guessing you have to drive so there has to be a DD every evening The hotels are very close to the DZ, but I do NOT recommend taunting the police with driving drunk. Mississippi patrolmen don't take too kindly to that. If you do want to tent it, expect brisk temperatures at night. By the way - we have a camper out there Oh and if you plan to sleep at the DZ, there are 3 showers, so bring towels, washcloths, and soap. I wrote a review on Gold Coast and I think this site also has other information about the DZ amenities, so feel free to check it out......................................................................

EricaH 0 #140 December 18, 2003 "Ramada, discounted rate"... very cool... (note to self) esp for all of us not special enough to have a summer cottage on the dz. brisk night - ha, we stop camping out here @ CSC once the nights drop below 28. Are there electrical hook-ups anywhere near the camping area? (heated mattress pads are WONDERFUL!!) There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.
