Oh, I’m sure we can make roasting marshmallows happen, at least, at Lithia Resort!!

My kids are 3, 6, and 12. And there will be many others in similar age ranges.

There will be plenty of kids for them to play with and definitely a few groups to socialize with.

If I were a betting man, we (and by we, I mean a good portion of us) will be surfing every dang day!

If you are a morning person, connect with me. I love dawn patrol runs, but have a hard time finding crew that is not, shall we say "tired"🍻:wtf::wideyed:😴, from what ever happened the day before, lol!

Sounds good, I just wanted to let her know ahead of time. As if I venture over to Lithia on Thursday night then plan something for early Friday morning (that doesn’t give me anytime to let my wife know). If she is sleeping when I get back and sleeping when I leave Friday morning.

I was going to extend to include Wednesday night at lithia springs campground but it says walk ins only. Same site (69) anyone know whats the deal? Would be a bummer to have to wait until thursday just because the website won't let me book!
There is no phone number for that place. Just directs to army corp.
If someone is on site can you check it out and pm me? Would love to arrive 8pm tomorrow night instead of 5 am thursday morning

Agreed my boys will be 4 and 9 this fall. We need to get these kids together. Last we were not by kids the same age. So my boys didn’t venture out too much, so hoping this year we can raft up closer to some kids closer to their age.
