well, I was going to say if it gets too bad/boring, one can just pack and
drive home.
I don't get the impression the planned camp area is that far from home.
better is to just be clear about going yourself, and anyone smart/lucky
enough to be invited can come along.
Like........you don't 'work' to get them to do something for themselves -
you offer a fun ride to be on, and it's up to them to be smart enough to get
on your train ( cause that's where the value is )
