and while we're being all organized and what not... the Protruberant Mr. Cook has been gracious enough to organize camping at Otter River in MA for May 22-24, so feel free to put your hand in for that as well. It is a very nice local campground with a beach and a 9,000 acre nature preserve. how that got all that nature into jars I'll never know...

and keep in mind that we have reservations for June in Acadia if anyone else would like to join us for that, going up June 10 and leaving June 14.
