Well, it seems Clyde jumped the gun. All of this talk about putting in port-a-pots is just that right now; talk. There was a brief brainstorm between the TMTC Prez and another board member, and Clyde took that to mean it was in place/for real and going to happen now. That is currently not the case. So, we can all breathe easy (can you breathe easy talking about port-a-pots?).
On the other hand, here is the rest of the story. TMTC is going to put port-a-pots in, and our site has been tagged to receive one. When this will happen is unknown. HOWEVER, when it is put in, we will not have to pay; the TMTC membership dues will take care of that for us, and all the other campsites. If we want additional 'pots', we would have to foot the bill for those.
Also, I have asked if we can take ownership of the entire area down there (ie the two sites) and the TMTC board is looking into it. They said they will let me know within the week.
Speaking of campsites, TMTC has plans to encourage clubs to 'improve' their sites. TMTC plans to do this by supplying railroad ties, sand, flagstones and what not -at no cost to us- to improve the site. There is no date on this yet, but TMTC said if we wanna get a jump start we could put together a proposal, submit it, and whatever they apporve, we can do. (They are sending me an official proposal form) So, if we want to add another trash can, build a fence or whatever, we can concievably do it on TMTC's bill. This would be ultra cool especially if we get control of both sites. They have asked for fire pits (hello welder boys), fencing to encourage camping in specific areas, and anything else we can think of.
What do ya say?
