After 4 months she's finally done! We went to Meeman-Shelby State Park for a weekend. Everything went really well and we had a great time!
Here are a few pics!

First off.... let me congratulate you on finishing your tear and getting it out. :clapping hands: (Friday and Saturday were pretty nice weather wise; but it sure did get cold last night. Ask me.... I know. I was stomping around in Stanky Creek park after dark with a bunch of Geo-cachers on a night hunt.)

From the pics, it looks like you pretty much had Meeman Shelby to yourself.

BTW.... trailer looks good!!


If you are looking for dates to camp.... may I suggest the weekend of Friday March 6th, 2009 at Hugh White State Park in Grenada, MS. Should only be a couple hour drive for you. The Magnolia Chapter of Tearjerkers is holding it's first gathering at that time, Mardi Gras in Mississippi. That is, if anybody besides me shows up.

We actually went several weeks ago. Just now getting time to post the pics. It was pretty cool when we went (never broke the 40 degree mark). We gave the little electric heater a workout.

I'll look at my calendar for the March outing. I bet it would be a good time. Thanks for the invite.

It was so awesome to actually be able to stay in something I built. I did have to chuckle when the 34' Keystone backed in next to us. It was even funnier when he was envious.

That must be an awesome feeling. Right now in Ohio we are at 30 degrees with threat of more snow this weekend. :thumbdown: I am slowly gathering up the items I need to finish mine. Here's hoping for an early spring??? :)
