Ya didn't like the 9 empty weeks between Lake George and Berlin???

And Am I missing something? I don't see next weeks camp out on the many choices for rally boards

Duane,

Not sure what you mean about the outing for next w/e.... there hasn't been much chatter lately...it's a state park and appropriate sites for Heartland rigs went fast...

AND....you mean why didn't we book our rally in July??? Have you had a blow to the head lately????

Need I remind you....that 103 degree weather and camping in Delaware don't mix?

and besides, Jim and I may have "personal" business during that time. How about a 10th anniversary (yes, 10 LONG YEARS) trip for 2 weeks to Hawaii and a week in California from July to August? Then I have to go back to work.

Summer in Delaware. Camping. 103 degree heat.

'nuff said my brother!

It was just a couple of bumps, really wasn't that bad. Had the weather been a bit cooler........ No thunder phobic pup this year either.

We're booked on site # 149 for Friday and Saturday night - for now. We will add one more day on either Thursday or Sunday, not sure at this point.

We are planning on coming. Give me a few days to confirm plans and get a reservation. At least it shouldn't be 103 this year and we'll try to arrive before 9:30 at night this time. (But then we did have a big crowd watching us back into our site last year! - I think most were waiting for me to hit something, sort of like those who watch races to see the wrecks. Sorry it was so boring.)

Backing 40' for the first time at night onto those narrow gravel sites (at least mine was narrow) off the fairly narrow road, was fun. But fortunately Duane and Don had the area well lit with the carts. I'm going for a pull thru this time!
