Halloween weekend camping in a south Louisiana swamp ... if you plan to come, let me know and I'll send you the details.

He is driving, so I don't need any details, other than how many people to plan on.

I will miss seeing all of those folks, but sometimes it is best to adjust plans.

With the expected storms this weekend it was a reasonable decision to cancel the event. I was looking forward to paddling in the bayou as it is a exceptional beautiful area but that will have to wait. Some of us have been chatting about having a Florida meet up this winter if there is enough interest.

Don't give me all the credit -- several of us discussed it and made an executive decision. We had to decide early enough for people to change their plans. I hate that we don't get to celebrate Halloween in the swamp this year, but rain, wind, and lightning might not make for the most fun weekend.
