In case you do not already know, there is a very good chance Rag will be moved to Cooper's Lake Campground in PA. The same site as SCA's Pennsic War. Although this site is much more desirable than Spring Valley, there will be a considerable cost difference to attend next Rag. These figures are based off of my car, so you'll need to do some number crunching of your own to see how much this will effect your pocket book.
