WOW! What a great time! My head is swimming with ideas.

Bob, thanks so much for encouraging (re: badgering and nagging) me into coming. The boys and I had a terrific time.

Verna and Sharon, we couldn't have asked for nicer neighbors. The boys really enjoyed you two and Sunny Day, too.

I may even have the wife talked into the September gathering.

GerryS, I'll be in touch.

Thanks, again, everybody!

Thanks to all of the attendees for the Summer gathering. We picked another nice weather weekend and I enjoyed meeting the new campers as well as the ones that I already knew.

The Fall gathering will be coming up in September (27-29) and should be a fun gathering too.

We had a great time too....now to figure out if we can get to "mounds" this fall!

Now that was fun Thanks to everyone for a great time!! This was my first trip in the TD and I really like this way of camping. I foresee lots of camping in the Escaped2

To Sharon, Pete and his boys--you guys were the best neighbors--Sunny Day had fun wth all of you!!

So, now to look forward to the Fall gatherng.

Wish we could have been there, sure missed see all our friends. Thought we could make up to the last minute.
Family matters took too much time, both my parents went into health care home a month ago. Mom is doing
well, but Dad not so good. Just could not get away for the weekend. Hope to see everyone in Anderson.

I wanted to thank all the old and (now new) friends for a great turn out and a grand weekend. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Once again Kurt will gladly take full credit for the fabulious choice of weekends for great weather. (Hell I could see my breath Sat AM it was that cool.) A great change for the 100 degree stretch we had just endured.

Yes you were both missed. I was asked 4 or 5 times where you were. Sorry to hear about the hard choices you have had to make. My turn is coming up some day soon mom is 82 . Thank God she can still out work and out think me many times over. See ya in the fall at Anderson!

Bob

OK, I have a few pictures, but they're just of my setup:


My New Paha Que tent over the Little Guy--weighing in at only 37 lbs, it was a lot easier on me to set it up. Thanks to Bob, Jeff and Sharon for helping me set it up the first time


My cheap imitation of a Fantastic Fan--just hang an O2 fan on an expandable shower curtain rod under the vent--it works!! I have to work on the idea a bit because the 110V cord wouldn't fit into the hole that was too close to the rod....I'll figure out a modification.


These little Sylvania LED lights from Lowe's are hanging from another shower curtain rod from their rare earth magnets. Yes, they're bright enough to read by.....not that I stayed awake for long enough to read much

Looks like everyone had a good time! The girls and myself enjoyed a weekend at O'Bannon woods and made good use of the Aquatic center. Now if i could loose this lobster impression I have going on!

Here's some I took last weekend.


Our "not a teardrop or tiny trailer" sleeping area.


This is how a 15 year old tends fire and waits for desert.


We forgot the sticks to make Brown Bears; therefore we improvised.


2 little boys entertaining themselves with a game.


Our neighbor's (Sharon) welcome flamingo.

Sorry, I forgot the camera and had to use my iPhone.
