Hi all,

I'm planning a road trip to the Red in March from Toronto, Canada and one of my climbing partners just found out that she has a bit of a problem...

She's lost her birth certificate, which she needs to cross the border. It normally takes 8 weeks to get a new one issued, unless we can produce "proof of imminent travel." I didn't call Miguel's to book a campsite, since we just planned on showing up (and it's not crazy busy in March), but also because I don't know the number. Anyone know the number or a way to contact Miguel's?

Thanks for the help.

I don't think you can book campsites at Miguels. It's just show up and plop down you tent. At least that's the way it used to be. Haven't been there in years.

that's the way it still is - just arrive, pay your camp fees, and put your tent wherever you like.

If you must produce "proof of imminent travel", which I'm assuming is something saying where you are staying from the owner/propriter(sp), you may want to look at staying somewhere else in/really near the Red. Their are a several motels in the area and bed 'n' breakfasts as well if you can shell out the $$ for the nicites and if they are open. Someone with better contact info can tell you phone numbers as I don't know them.

Miguels - (606) 663-1975

It's amazing what you can find in the online yellow pages.

YOu may not be able to book anything, but Miguel can probably help you out. You can explain the situation and even though he can't hold a spot for you, he can still provide you some documentation.

Meadows, thanks for the number!

I figured that all we'd have to do is plop a tent down, pay, and climb away. I didn't even consider reserving a campsite...

Umm. Why don't you make a reservation at a hotel with a credit card, print off the order and then cancel the reservation before you come?

I think Spragwa's idea is a good one. For $3 night, I think it's a little much to ask Miguel for documentation. He is the best, though, so maybe he will help you out if he can.

it costs $2.
