Close the HDDR for good?!?!? Blasphemy!!! They might as well close the beach for swimming, rip out the swamp trail boardwalk, take down the hammocks, kill all of the goats at the petting zoo, severely limit cart access, take Crockett's nice menu away, do away with the stump trash cans, remove the basketballs from the boxes, shut down the train and tear out the tracks, fire the grocery truck guy, lay off the mounted rangers, and double (or triple) the price of everything over the next ten years!!!! Nobody would camp there then.
Seems like we don't see as much of Sonny as we used to. Does anyone remember when there was a live band that came up from the floor? Can't remember the name, but I can visualize the outfits. Definitely the 70's! Their were 2 that I remember. Michael Iceberg in the 70's a keyboardist, and Tobasco a band in the 80's http://youtu.be/80twRmDsAV4 http://youtu.be/V21ZZnSgzSk
I wanted to respond to your question about distances. If you have looked at Google Earth, you may have missed one of the features that I find very helpful. There is a great measuring tool on there that allows you to plot any course and measure the distance. For example, here are the distances from the fireworks launch area first to the 500 loop and then to the 1900 loop:
It only stands to reason that the extra distance would result in less noise, but I'm not sure if it will be a big enough decrease to make a difference to your pet. With regard to walking distances, if you were assigned a site in the back of the 1900 loop, it would be almost a 3/4 mile walk from there to the dog park:
That, of course, is a worst case scenario. But, if you reserve a full hook up site, you may end up in the 1900 loop. You can request the 1600 or 1700 loop, but there are no guarantees. As you ponder your decision, I would like to point out that you now have several first hand reports from Fiends who have dogs sensitive to fireworks noise. Everyone has reported that this is an issue that you can deal with, no matter what loop you are on. So, if you are concerned about being too far away from things, you probably ought to go with a premium site, and plan on keeping the dog inside during the fireworks. Don't worry, it will all work out fine! TCD
