At the worst, we\'ll take a car and tent it. HOWEVER, word on the streets is..I *might* have a working camper by then. Don\'t hold your breath. Debbie\'s Bday is on May 7 so we\'ll try to celebrate her Bday (going to Jackson Hole) the weekend before May 11, BUT if you decide on May 18, we\'ll do JH May 11. Sounds like May 11 is best, so Stiles can go. I want to have a s\'mores eating contest with him. By the way, I think there\'s no campfires at Brainard?? Dudes, thanks for the offers of campin\’ gear.

That is my wife's birthday! No way is she camping on her birthday weekend. Please make it the 11th. She is a good sport, but likes to be pampered on her birthday... Sleeping in the camper is not her idea of being pampered. Augh! That is my wife’s birthday! No way is she camping on her birthday weekend. Please make it the 11th.

I'll have to pull out the Colorado back road road map and find the place. I”m not familiar with Brainard Lake above Ward just off the Peak to Peak highway.

Just cook with us in the Dakota. Might as well use all the VW's. Chris, You and “D” can use the Double Cab’s canopy to camp. Just cook with us in the Dakota. Might as well use all the VW’s.

A great destination could be Brainard Lake above Ward just off the Peak to Peak highway. It is nicely central to Estes Park, close to Nederland (supplies) and easy to find. Most of the campsites are sheltered and swimming is allowed last time I checked. Also pets are welcome, but there are some leash laws in the campground area. Lots of hiking and exploring since it borders the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. One of our favorite haunts in Winter and Summer. I\’m in.
