Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII PLEASE NOTIFY ANYONE WITHOUT E-MAIL OR WHO HAVE PROFESSED INTEREST IN ATTENDING LION AND GRYPHON WAR! My Lords and Ladies, Please forgive the use of bandwidth to those lists which I am not a subscriber. A difficult situation has arisen and I am trying to notify as many people as quickly as possible. Please post all replies to me personally. THE SITE FOR LION AND GRYPHON WAR HAS BEEN MOVED! Due to a mix up at the BSA offices in Spokane, the Camp Grizzly site was double booked for September 25-27. As the other group has proven to not only be inflexible, but "belligerent" as well, we have been given a different site. The new site is 45 minutes north of the old site, on Lake Coeur d'Alene, is much bigger, more accomodating, more beautiful and better equipped, and most importantly WET! Yes! We now have a wet site for the war! The Campfire bowl (read Bardic Circle Firepit) overlooks the sunset splendour of Lake Coeur d'Alene and the site has 800 acres for our use. There are 6 flush toilets on site, plus chemical toilets at every camp area, of which there are 10-11 on the flat side of the camp and another 6-10 in the wooded area across the road. The site has more showers than the old site, plus the lake on site for swimming. BATTLEFIELDS: In an attempt to make the move more enticing, Jeff Conroy, the big guy upstairs in the BSA office, will be insuring appropriate numbers of haybales for the village and castle battle, as well as the ship-to-ship fighting. There is a big flat field for the open field (75 X 50 yrds), a lower meadow for more challenging terrain, cleared woods for the woods battle, uncleared woods for the woods battle, and an area for the castle and village, plus the beach on the lake for the ship battles and the beach battles. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE: FROM MISSOULA: Take your best route to Coeur d'Alene. Take the Hwy 97 exit. Go 12 miles to the site. FROM SPOKANE: Take Hwy 90 to Hwy 97. Go 12 miles to the site. FROM MOSCOW, ID: Take Potlatch turn off. Go to St. Marie's and follow signs to Harrison. Take Hwy 97 out of Harrison and go 15-20 minutes to site. The BSA group is extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused by this and is trying to be especially accomodating. They have waived the dry site stipulation, are acquiring haybales and such for our activities, and have offered to call everyone who reads the Crier and the Sage to let them know about the change. I told Jeff how many that would be and he said, "Yep! Get me the numbers so I can call them." I will be supplying him with the phone numbers of all the senechal(e)s and royalty of the groups so be prepared. I hope to see you all there!
