As a five-time CNCer, and two-time BRAGer, the Port-a-poty door slamming is clearly the biggest offense. Lets hear it again for Ms. Manners. Yea!! Yea!!

Right on, Miss Manners. To continue the cell phone line of thought, remember that when you're in your tent you're not in an isolation booth, I've heard some pretty jucy cell-phone conversations while trying to go to sleep in camp.

Well the way i see it...you are camping with alot of people and we all are different and things are not going to be perfect, so for those that has done cycle north carolina before , you know that you can aspect things like this....and if you can't deal with it , well camp inside......we all can try to be quite but with this many people ,,,well just enjoy the ride everyday and don't worry about the small stuff........

Yes mr Manner, There are going to be a lot of people camping, and we will all disturb each other to some extent. Some degree of tolerance should be expected of everybody! But.........thoughtless (slamming port-a-potty doors), inconsiderate (cell phones ringing at all hours), and downright rude behavior (partying noisily at midnight) is beyond any reasonable level of tolerance that considerate campers should have to endure. The purpose of my note was not to put a damper on your fun, but rather to decrease the level of annoyances the rest of us need to deal with.

Kind regards,

Miss Manners.

All of the above.....but don't forget the earplugs...anyone who has "camped" indoors knows that that is not an option....for me, after the first day sound sleep comes VERY easily....however, being considerate is never a bad thing....
