Because the odds of snagging the Refugio group site have become longer than the lotto, we have decided to change our strategy this year.... and fall back to our fall-back plan from the start. So we'll be aiming all our efforts at the very nice campsites at South Carlsbad State Beach. Read on for instructions.

Not Totally Shut Out

It was a tough morning for campsite fishing, but Martin managed to land three sites at South Carlsbad for five nights starting Sunday, June 24. Got one through the website and two by phone (started talking to the reservationist at 8:18 after 10 minutes on hold).

We can fit about four or five more families on the sites after the Becks and Weylers; let us know if you are interested in joining us.

Of course, call, email or post a comment here if you were able to score a spot.

And remember, we've still got a shot for a summer in Refugio. We'll be on the phones again Tuesday, Jan. 2.

hey guys...
june used to be a slam dunk for us at carlsbad at least, but the situation has certainly changed. if we stand any chance of landing refugio in july or august, we're really gonna have to muster the troops. every phone and cellphone in the family has got to be manned the day after new years. so tally-ho!

I think I can solve this problem in the future. If (and when) the mighty Tribune layoff axe gets me, I shall get a job as an phone operator with "Reserve America" where I will be ina position to get us Refugio every summer. Of course, I may need you all to chip in on some incidentals_food, utilities, car insurance payment, kid's college fun_but we'll have Refugio!
