is it safe to assume there are plenty of plugs for crock pots?

Looking forward to it!

I think so, Alicia. She said to try to spread out the use of the outlets so that we don't trip the circuit breaker. She did say that they added another box on the island.

These are my notes from what she said last year:

If you are planning to plug in a crock pot or something, I've been told that only two outlets on the wall of the kitchen with the big window out to the meeting room should be used - over that and the circuit breaker gets tripped. So please use the outlets on the other wall of the kitchen or the outlets out in the meeting room to plug anything in.

I'll bring a strip so we can plug 6 crockpots in and overload that circuit!

We will most probably paddle another section (Compton) of the Shenandoah on Sunday as well, for anyone who wants to play both days! More details after dinner on Saturday nite...
