We're in the same boat as Lynn and will probably not make our July trip (OMG how painful it is to write those words). Zayne's early college program was free for only so long as he did things like show up for class, turn in assignments and get a passing grade. So, while I make no excuses for his behavior, we ended up doing sort of the opposite of getting something for nothing, to whit, getting nothing for what turned out to be a check with a whole lot of 0s on it. Our plans for August are still 8/10-8/17(ish). Optimistic Karen says that gives us more time to get in shape, that it's easier to hike the back country in August than early July because it's less marshy and the bug population has decreased significantly, and if Fan and Mortar comes out of its spring doldrums, visiting in August gives you a slightly better shot at seeing it. And, of course, Giant and Morning will have re-activated by then. Heart-broken Karen wants to cry rivers of tears because we have not missed a July visit since we started coming to the park in the late 80s (and we hope the finances hold out so we'll make it up in August (and maybe round up some gazers to do a Perseids party). That said, we have not cancelled the rooms quite yet. If any of the gazers can make use of a room in the Old House (it's a double but they know there would be 3 of us and needed room for an air matress) the week of July 6, we'd be happier to make arrangements for the rooms to go to gazers than to release them just generally to Xanterrible.
