Sounds like those of you in other states are able to make plans
and go camping on short notice.

Out here in California we have to make reservations for camping
anywhere from 8 to 12 months in advance......

How many of you know what your going to be doing that far in
advance??

We are staying at home this 3 day weekend and will go camping
a couple of weeks later.

I'll be thinking of you all as I sip that cocktail while watching white tail deer from my back porch.
We have been three season campers up until we got our new unit. Fall, Winter, and Spring! Schedules and work load got in the way for Summer! We now have the schedules and just tend to ignore the work load, we have two weeks planed later this month. We could have picked up an overnighter, for Saturday this weekend, but needed to get ready for a trip to Hawaii.

We are camping in Berlin, Ohio with 2 other couples. We do this a couple times a year on long weekends. Great area being its Amish area. Love going to their special stores. Probably go home broke in the pocket again like always.

Angry Camping Anyway

Well, my stratagy of waiting for the crowds to go home then go camping didn't pan out. The Central A/C in the house took a dump on the hottest day of the year so far (90+) and we have a tropical storm coming in tomorrow and it's a holiday weekend so A/C repair with my home insurance has gone fishing, so I guess we'll be camping in the driveway with the trailer A/C going.

Jim -
But there is an up-side to your wayward plans. Camping in your driveway means you get the choice of the prime sites, wildlife roaming in your back 40 and no one will notice all those drinks that you have been sipping on. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, my DW and I are spending the Holiday weekend at home: But she's making me join some friends for BBQ this evening: And tomorrow I'll have to grill those country style ribs and have something cold to drink and then watch the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600, oh what a life. I know it's bad but somebody has to do it. Fortunately, we'll be heading out for our 2nd camping trip in our 5er in a couple of weeks. Going to Alabama to meet friends.
Life is good

Got the A/C going full blast in the driveway as well. We decided to wait out the crowds and take our holiday next weekend. I'm Looking forward to Hocking Hills in a few weeks!

Cherry Hill Campground. Washington DC

We are visiting DC this long weekend. Campground seems to be nice....we are not spending much time here. Really not my idea of camping (more a mountains/woods person) but we enjoy DC and would rather spend what time we do spend away ffom sightseeing in our own pllace. We have only had this TT since Thur but it already feels like our home away fom home. Sites here are somewhat congested but this is supposed to be the best CG in the area with hookups.

Have a great holiday y'all. Remember the veterens alive and well, alive and surviving injury, and those who gave their all. Remember their families also. They deserve our honor.



250,000 motorcycles here this weekend for Rolling Thunder.....all vets.

Talking Your right

Well Fetus, your right about the up side. DW said she'd make me some toll house cookies for being such a good boy. Then a lodge member called and they need help putting out flags on fellow veterans graves. As far as the drinks, I talk bigger than I am, one drink and I'm finished. That part of me grew up after I got out of twenty years of law enforcement and a love affair with scotch. Kids, we all have to grow up sometime, dog gone-it!

Yeah. The state parks around us are the same way. I hate the 'not so new' reservation crap. I can remember as a kid driving up on a Friday getting a spot and staying for 2 weeks during each summer. Now you are lucky to reserve a spot for more than 3 days in a row.

We try to camp every spring break at Lake Catherine State Park. We have to make reservations a year in advance to get a spot. We make reservations for the following year when we check in. Its a one nights stay non-refundable gamble that we will be able to go the next year.

The reservation junk keeps us away from camping on holiday weekends.

We got up Friday morning to 1/2" of snow on the ground. Saturday We braved high seas on the lake and a down pour all afternoon (thank god for the wall tent and Washoes) Sunday cleared up and caught a few trout. Monday we had a pretty uneventful trip back to reality.
