Where all you going thru?
Florida via Southwest?
Were escorting some first time campers this weekend to Mt Cheaha Alabama.
They just bought their first TT, and want us along to help figure things out.
This is only their 2nd camping trip.
1st was last summer with us, and we set up a tent for them and their two kids.
Kids had so much fun, they had to get out of motel rooms. |

Kids had so much fun, they had to get out of motel rooms. Sorry, we flew Southwest. Man 2 hours 25 minutes
to get there, a record for us! Fastest flight was 2:50
Had a blast, Disney was cool, as always. Hope to stay away for a while though.
Getting kinda pricey. But, if you don't buy the trinkets it is still a good
deal. The folks we met there, seemed to be disappointed in their Campground, hassle
for one with a Disney mix up in reservations, lot rent was over $100 with tax
and all... We paid $129 for a room...
Not deterred we had a great time together!
No pics, this is a first for me, We did not take a camera, I felt NAKED!

Posted By Balrgn on 03/03/2007 6:51 AM We opted out of this weekend due to the storm... What a bummer. On vacation, was really looking forward to camping. Oh well, better 'n ending up in a ditch. Rescheduled for the 16th tho! 
Well, here we are Camping! Well not camping,
camping, more like cabining in a campground. Grueling drive up in the snow. I
like driving in the snow, it's just all those other nuts out there that forget
from storm to storm that you can not slam on the brake.... Oh well, 3 hours to
go 75 miles is not that bad to get away! One foot of snow on the ground and
still snowing. I would not have wanted to take the Argosy out in that. I don't
believe the windshield wipers would have kept up with the ice...

Well, I've got snow shoes and use them when I have to. Can't say
I enjoy it though. I don't mind ripping along at sixty miles an
hour on my snow mobile though.
