Bummer.
Just opened the mail and I'm 0-4 for the last 4 attempts. Oh well. I'll just keep trying. I am getting concerned though that I'm not getting any younger.
What is the reality of finding a couple of days in a row open just by driving up? I'll be doing Cottonwood Lakes and just might stop to see what is available then. What has been everyone's experience?
Since I teach, summer is my only option other than holidays where the family does/has to come first.
