MSU Ripfest - 2008.

Camping - We are camping at a different site then last year. This is less than 1/2 a mile away from the lake and is an actual camp site, so much better than last year. The adress is 8266 Baldwin, Gaines, MI. I want to stress to all team captains to talk to their teams before coming that the guys who are own this land are completely unconnected with waterskiing, they are just letting us camp their so that our tournament can be successful. Therefore please talk to your teams and make sure no one does anything dumb. It has been very dry up here in michigan so we are asking that if you smoke at night do not throw your cigarette butts on the ground, they do not want to start a forest fire.
