It's Official!

Last night, we received a weekly update email from Roseland Resort, the gay campground where we have a trailer in West Virginia. This was the first official communiqué in which the sale of the campground was announced. Troy Evans & Matt Cunningham are moving into the on-site residence from their trailer on Rose Hill near ours while Ben Breslin will maintain his own trailer in the Ruins area of the campground.

The core content of the email however was a warning that the change of ownership requires a new liquor license so the campground will be BYOB for a while, possibly the rest of this season. As a non-drinker, this affects me not at all but it will affect the boys' ability to get a spur-of-the-moment cocktail at the bar.

I also see the website has been updated. On the 'staff' tab, Matt & Troy are shown as the new owners but Ben isn't there: perhaps he's aiming to be more of a silent partner. I see Randy, the events coordinator & DJ, has been replaced. There's a new guy running customer relations & reservations. The rest of the staff largely seem unchanged.

The web site also has a new category under the cabin rental rates: low season, Sept 22 to April 2011. Typically, the campgrounds are closed from the end of October until the opening in late March or early April. It appears they are indeed trying to have the guest houses & rooms open all year long. I doubt the trailers will be available 12 months per year but perhaps the camping season itself might be extended to, say, an early March through mid-November season.

We're heading back to the trailer August 13-15... we'll have more news then I'm sure.
