I am definitely interested in MSWE. I LOVE this event! Could 4 or 5 of us chip in for a motor home, a la, The Red Demon Contest team at Mustang Island. That would get us out of the skeeters. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 4, 2015, at 11:51 AM, Mike Hardwick via BVARC bvarc@bvarc.org wrote:

The problem with RVs is that there are no hookups for RVs and no power.  We would need to dry camp with our own power source.  Could be done, but I am not sure how the County would look at it.  I can check.  Another alternative is that a 10x10 tent with about 7 ft of head room can be purchased
