    Hey everyone.

    I just got off the phone will Jill from Sonoma County Parks and she wanted me to pass along some info about park rules.

    -No more than 8 people gathered at a single Campsite. (Basically no big parties that keep up other campers.

    -No Fires on the beach, and Crab cookers must be set up near BBQ's in Day Use are.

    -No easy ups or awnings. (She said to double check with park ranger when you check in to see if he will allow it.) The general rule is no because of past issues of easy ups blowing away.

    -No ore than 99 folks for the Crab Feed in the Day use are. So basically we have to cap the event because I think we are pushing that # already.

    Thanks for hearing this out and I look forward to another EPIC Crabfest!
