Family Reunion Info - Map and Rules

Hello, Family!

Here is the first of several posts that will give info about our family reunion! For future reference, we will label all these posts with "Family Reunion 2013," so you can click the label link (at the bottom of the post, under the comments button), or find the link on the right hand side of the blog (under the "Labels" section). Clicking on this link will pull up all the posts related to this year's family reunion.

First of all, we wanted to include a link to a wonderful Google Map that Mike made. This map shows the route from Grandma and Grandpa Bean's house to Heise Hot Springs, and if you zoom in on that area, you will see the individual campsites we have reserved, as well as various fun things to do there! Check it out here (make sure you are using Satellite view, not Map view, for the most accurate map).

Secondly, we need to make you all aware, per the campground managers, of the camp rules. Please read these carefully and go over them with your children. They are as follows:

Heise Campground Rules
1. All campers must register upon arrival.
2. Checkout time is 12 noon. Sites are to be vacated at this time unless prior arrangements have been made with the office (*note: prior arrangements have NOT been made with the office, so we will all need to be gone from the campground by 12 noon on Sunday, August 16th).
3. Each vehicle must have a vehicle pass with the gate entry code. Do not give this code to anyone.
4. Only two vehicles allowed per registered camper.
5. Fires are allowed in the fire pits provided. Do not move fire pits.
6. Place trash in cans provided, not in fire pits.
7. Do not leave your fire unattended. Put it out when you leave.
8. Horseshoes are allowed in designated areas only.
9. Quiet hours are from 10:30pm until 7:30am. After 10:30, you should not disturb neighboring campers. Quiet hours are strictly enforced.
10. Generators will not be operated in the campground (except for power outages).
11. No drinking to excess or loud parties.
12. Pets must be kept on a leash, kept quiet, and picked up after. Do not leave dogs unattended in or around your RV or campsite.
13. No fireworks or water balloons allowed in the campground.
14. No big rugs. They kill the grass.
15. Any violations of these rules may be grounds for evictions. No refunds.

Thanks, everyone! If you have any questions, let Mike or I know. We will continue to post more info to the blog as the family reunion gets closer!
