Keeping in mind that although she really enjoys meeting new people, she has a limit to her camping time. Nothing any more serious than her personal limit of "Three days MAX" for living in the camper.
I'm willing to work with that. As I mentioned before, my oldest son will be having a wedding (in Pittsburgh) on June 9. I plan to drag the camper from Indiana to Pittsburgh, park it in the Hotel lot, go to the rehearsal dinner (Friday night), attend the wedding and reception (Saturday), sleep it off on Sunday morning, head out for Pulaski, NY, and then head for the FCP on Monday (June 11).
I plan to arrive on June 11 for a wonderful week of ADK camping, fishing and socializing.
Obviously, that will be a lot more than Three days MAX of camping.
The plan, however, is coming together. My wife's sister lives in Burlington, VT and she is my son's God parent. When she heads back to VT, my wife will go with her. If all goes well, they will both come over to FCP on (say) Thursday and my wife can get in the camping experience within the "Time Limit".
If all does not go well, I'm not sure how she will get back to Indiana. Being a teacher, with some time off in the summer, it's not a disaster, but I will need to get back to work on June 12.
I love to plan ahead and try to make every trip as smooth as possible. My wife, on the other hand does not like to plan so far ahead. I find it a relief that we actually have a potential plan to get her to FCP and home to Indiana on an organized schedule.
I sure hope this works out (I'm confident that it will) because she has never enjoyed the spectacular beauty of the Adirondacks like I have as a child.
Wish me (us) luck as the plan comes together.
