• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Just wondering if anyone knows which campgrounds are convenient for SpyderFest activities? Anyone with past experiences with any and suggest a certain camping area......:firstplace:

There has been a mention of the KOA on Rt66 and a reference to the fairgrounds.
I'm up for either place. :thumbup:Primitive is OK but I prefer to have Electric for my CPAP.

There were a few tents there. I had my "tent on a trailer" there. However, there is no differential pricing. You pay the same price whether in a tent or 40' RV, except there might have been a no electric pricing option. My memory doesn't go back that far! :dontknow: It's definitely not a 5 star campground, but it was OK. Shower facilities are mediocre, as is the maintenance staff. But if I go to SF 2016 I'll probably stay there again.

:clap: :clap: :clap:....Thanks for the BETTER info, I corrected my orig. post to reflect this. I didn't know that they even had shower facilities available :gaah:.......Mike :thumbup:
 
My wife and I stayed at the fairgrounds last year and the cost was a reasonable $24/night, including electric and water. Sewer hook up was available for a small additional charge. The men's showers were mostly cold as they were having a problem with the water heater, but the ladies was fine. If you've stayed at city or fairgrounds before, this place is fairly typical. The good part was that it was close to the action either at the fairgrounds or the hotels, which were only a few minutes away.
 
Will check with Vanessa and post when we have more information. Normally all the info is released January 1. We have to get all the contracts signed and Len and Vanessa are in the middle of getting ready to move to their new home. Stay tuned will keep you posted.
