Notes:

1. Tour cost was reduced by tour guide and has been subsidized by USNA RV Chapter to reduce your cost. If you enjoy tours, feel free to tip Danny Couch.

2. Caterer is Craig Hudson, retired fireman from Williamston, NC, who will be camping with us for the week. Meal costs quoted above include 15% gratuity and 7% tax. Catered meals are a lot better (and much less expensive than local restaurants), in our opinion.

3. Please advise if you plan to participate in all meals, tours, etc., so Walt can finalize arrangements and costs. We will collect checks from you when you arrive.
