• Fine Tuned Format.  This camping guide is now in a friendlier, more navigable format.  Some fine tuning and graphic changes were done as well.  Things look a little more professional and modernized.  Upgrades include a Navigation Column and Updated Logos on each page.  This is a WIP (Work in Progress) and will take several months.

• Fine Tuned Listings.  Most common complaint about the campground listings was that they were too wide.  That is fixed, with some other fine tuning points like new navigation buttons and hover windows.  The new listings are cleaner and easier to read.  This also is a WIP and will take months (or maybe years) to complete.

• New Weather Channel Icons.  The Weather Channel Icons in each listing are being modified to include a more appropriate tent scene.  Another way we are going above and beyond!  LOL!
