no snow, it wsnt THAT cold, highly recomend the screen house and little buddy heater Bob and i had, really kept us warm, we left about 11;00 but when we got home and i was unpacking the car I had help, a small grey mouse, cute as hell was in the car, thank god it didnt run up our pant legs while we were driving, i picked up a box of wood and we figure he must have been in there, he had quite a long ride, we stopped for lunch and of course left him in there not knowing he was there only us!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ray we saw you at the resturant in utica but didnt want to stop and interfere with your sale, we looked all the way home as it would have come the same way as us but didnt see it, should we have, did you sell it?
anyways had a good time and everyone have a great winter and see you all in june or before if ricks comes up with a plan

I was great seeing everyone who made it. We missed those who didn't. Definitely talked about those who left early! ;) Some cool new trailers this weekend! Yes it was chilly & wet, but that's fall camping in the 'dacks. 32F this morning and 52F at home. Stacy still lit the wood stove when she got home. Cozy!

The kids (1st Tearjerker outing) are eager to help with the new build now that the TD & Scamp have new owners. They had fun, and want to go camping next week too. I told them the new camper will not be ready 'til spring. Mary, perhaps we'll commission a quilt blanket?

After selling the Scamp I went right to HF to get a dolly with the new owner. Not that you need one, but its nice to have. He liked towing it and it looked good behind his SUV.

Maybe we'll have a winter gathering at the Old Forge Kamping Resort and get Kabins, have dinner out together and see a movie? Or make a giant bonfire and eat lots of s'mores and warm drinks.

Today was a dry sunny day... of course it would be. I hope everyone has a great winter. Spring seems so far away. See you online.

I agree with Ray, It was great to see all who made it.
Thanks to all.
Saturday night fire was a lot of fun. Thank to those who left the firewood. And a special thanks to Albert and Kim for allowing us to share their fire and hospitality. Loved the peach/apple cobbler.
Ed and Becky you had a nice fire to.. Just wish we could have made it there earlier.
Bob we will be ordering up one of those little buddy heaters for our next time out.
Mary, Thanks again for the cake, That was such a nice thing for you to do.
My tummy is happy and full.
Ray congrats on the sale of your trailer. Good luck with your TD build.
Look forward to seeing you all in the spring. :thumbsup:

Thanks to all for coming this weekend! For those who missed it, the weather on Friday was beautiful, good friends, good fire and good drinks at Ed and Becky's site. :thumbsup: Oh and of course, Clare's delicious pudding shots! Saturday's weather, well, in a word, sucked! Rained all day with a steady wind and temps in the 30's. Can't blame anyone for bailing out Saturday night (including Di and I). To all those who toughed it out, I can't even begin to tell you how nice it was being in bed with the tv on and the reassuring sound of the furnace running as a steady stream of heat made it's way through the house! LOL :lol: :lol: It figures that this coming weekends forecast is for sunny skies with temps in the 70's! Any one want to go camping? :thinking:

Not ashamed that we left early....cold we can deal with but that rain & wind with the cold was just down right miserable, no fun....as far as snow, it was listed as "possible" on the weather site & by the ranger...it was 34 in town when we left....

Thanks to Rick for setting this up, as usual....we did have a wonderful time on Friday night!! Clare, thanks for those yummy pudding shots & we love our little tear drop!!!

It really was great seeing everyone & we hope to see some of you -soon & others over the winter.....

Second time at Nick's Lake, second rainy weekend....maybe we will try to go in the summer next time :lol:
