We also need a new extendable broom. The one that came with the RV is awful.

Wendy (our friend from Home camp) suggested we get our center tent from a1tarps.com -- she just got one and it looks promising.

I think I have some extra milk crates in my moms garage (i used to steal them from safeway and I can again if needed)
I also think I have a 6'x6' yurt hut think no walls but it is a shade structure. should I bring that would it be of any use?
and can I pick up the bike rack that could fit on my ox it might work I have a hatch back. also I can steal some tennis balls from my grandpa he doenst play anymore and would never know they are missing.

Nick, the milk crates would be great. Maybe you can drop them off when you pick up the bike rack.

2.i have hella milk crates how many do you want?

Scooby -- milk crates would be great. We need either two milk crates (if we use Mark B's Peavy concert speaker) or six (if we end up using my studio monitors for the camp). Let's assume we won't hear back from Mark B, and say 6.
We already have the blue tarp ordered for the pool, so I don't think the carpet will be necessary.
