They didn't seem surprised at all and were sympathetic, thus making it clear they know this can be, and has been, a problem! Yet, their web page has no directions on how to get there! Richard has yet to write them about this. Just you wait... 4 4 5 -On the way to the campground, we stopped for groceries and of course there was a Dollar General store next door!
