It has to be true... University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers are always correct! Go Badgers! :lol:

If the Sahara dust really does keep the hurricanes away, I'll be more than happy to put up with the hazy skies in late June!

Re: 2018 Roll Call

I’ve done the race four times but will need to be a spectator this year due to a knee injury. I think there might be a larger turnout than expected this year!!

Re: Friends of the Park Full Moon Hike to Ram Head

I was fortunate to be with Pia when we did the full moon without the Park Service. As she mentioned, we brought food and drinks and each of us had water and our own flashlights. I highly recommend a headlamp as it leaves your hands free and they worked very well on the way back. It was beautiful to ...

Re: New 12.5% Hotel Tax on Existing Reservations

Kirk, I have been following the news regarding this pending tax increase for several months and inquired many times with various sources as to the date it would take effect.

We heard rumblings about a tax increase for a while but just now through StJohnJulie's post, were we made aware of the date the increase goes into effect. Thanks Julie! For those with contracts at the 10% rate, we plan to pay t...

Re: St John homes

My husband and I also toyed around with the idea of buying on St. John after numerous annual and then semi-annual trips. We finally purchased a condo back in 2010 which we rent out and also use ourselves. We also used Les Otis at St. John Properties and were incredibly comfortable with his knowledge...

Re: Friends of the park raffle....

That is so kind of you!

There is a post on here regarding a vertean's trip and there is also Team River Runner who brings down a group of wounded veterans each November. I would imagine both groups would be very grateful for anything you'd care to donate.

Re: Grande Bay in April?

I am an owner of a few suites at Grande Bay but I am booked for your dates.... You may want to check with my property manager at St. John Villa Company as they manage several suites and may have an opening for your dates.

Have a great trip!

There is another group from Team River Runner (TRR) who bring down several injured veterans for a week of healing and empowerment every November. They have been very blessed with lots of support from businesses and restaurants on island. Lodging may be more difficult for you with a planned trip duri...
