As most of you know. LDRS 33 will be held in Wisconsin at Richard Bong Recreational Area (the Bong). Holding a large, national launch on state lands that will be open to the public requires some flexibility on our part to stay within the DNR's regulations for events held in the park. We met this morning with Wisconsin DNR officials and they were very committed to helping us have a successful event. Having said that, they do have some requirements that may require changes in this years launch as compared to earlier LDRS's.

We felt it important we let everyone know about one of the requirements that may affect some of you planning on attending the launch. By Wisconsin DNR regulations, there can be no camping outside of the designated camping areas at Bong. This means there will be no camping allowed on the flight line. If you intend to camp on site for LDRS 33, you must register for a site in the campground areas. There are 184 camping sites at Bong with about 50 having water and electrical hook-ups.

This is an extremely popular park during the summer and the DNR recommended that anyone wishing to camp at Bong during LDRS 33 should register NOW to ensure they can get a site. Camping sites will fill up quickly. You can register for a site on-line HERE
