Apparantly the park Rangers told the autocrat at Sport of Kings that they were considering not allowing anymore SCA events because the park was left a disaster after the Revel. I saw the ranger and it seemed as though he had a problem with all of us in general. i have not told anyone else and thought it better to keep this off of the public forums. When I looked at the camped areas at Revel I didn't see hardly any mess, so it may have been a poor attempt at making some of the SCA look bad to the rest. Anyhoo, thank you again for the revel i had a blast as did the rest of us. ---- Wed, 17 Aug 2005 22:48:49 GMT http://blackthornecaravan.tribe.net/thread/325ca8bd-086a-4330-a0de-7fa47e49d6f1#5b270203-dc24-4657-b364-f983b77af9b9 Mana 2005-08-17T22:48:49Z http://blackthornecaravan.tribe.net/thread/325ca8bd-086a-4330-a0de-7fa47e49d6f1#db5e7b1d-759f-482c-8f7e-710f12a645a6 I think the only problem we had was the parking/day pass issues. At least that was the only one i heard about. and when i was at SoK I didn't hear anything neg. about the Revel.

The only thing we didn't do was put all of the picnic tables back.. if that's the problem then I apologize. Maybe next year we need a new park?

The Auotcrats of SoK had nothing to do with it. The person who heard this was at the Revel and couldn't beleive what he was hearing.

Which is BS. I walk the entire park more than once on sunday and pick up anything I saw. More over, Darren and I emptied the trash bins in the C lot when we finished packing. So now I have to settle all of this with the park rangers. And I have to fight with Rob because he is more worried about the peice of ass he is supposedly gonna get this weekend.
