< campsite > • CAMP LOCATION: All campsites will be situated on the borders of Hackletrap Hammock. • DWELLINGS: All trailers or cabins must conform to camp specifications: they must be clean on the
exterior (no mildew, dirt, broken glass, peeling paint, etc.) and level. All camps will be setup in an orderly, pristine appearance: no loose items shall be visible at the camp, therefore it is inappropriate to store items under trailers, behind them or on top of them. Lumber, pipes, barrels, junk and anything ugly should be stored inside a shed, trailer or storage container (built and positioned to club specifications). During an unexpected windstorm this will protect your inventory and prevent your items from damaging another members’ camp. ◦ Shed Roofs: All roofs on sheds, dwellings and any enclosure that resembles a “shed” are to be maintained.

• DOGS: Dogs are allowed at North Hackletrap, however, it the member’s responsibility to keep their animal(s) under reasonable control. The member will be asked to remove their animal promptly if there is any problem/complaint.
• CORN SHED: All members are welcome to use the onsite corn supply by just recording the member’s name, date and the number of bags taken. Cash
and checks are not to be left onsite. Invoices will be sent via email, charging for the corn at the prevailing market rate + $.50 per bag. When a member receives his bill, he must pay immediately by mailing a check. Simple! NOTE: If a member doesn’t check his e-mail or have his wife’s/girlfriend’s/kid’s e-mail -- don’t use the corn shed! Late payments will be assessed a 50 dollar fee! If a member develops an unreliable payment history, he will lose his privilege to buy from the corn shed. Please close the shed door tightly so we don’t have an animal problem.
