Haven't heard from anyone yet so I guess that's a good thing.

Scott, I'm waiting to leave about 1:00pm. The rain should be through here by then. It looks like we should be OK by Sunday.

Thank you all for attending the parade and the night before camping it was fun and I think we were very much the talk of the parade.
Pictures video to follow.

Scott, it was a fun time. I loved the comments as we rolled down the parade route.

I heard things such as:" No honey, we can't all get in there to go camping" said by an interested Mom. Also: a man said, "Hey, I could never get in there". and... then there was "Look it's a barn camper!".

It sure made the parade more interesting for a lot of on lookers.

Rather than to continue hijacking this poor thread I starter a parade thread.

Got one going in the General section, also

Menu update (7/13/09) for Chain of Lakes "Pitch-in" dinner.

Only17 more days to go - Any more menu ideas??

Kurt - "Sausage/chicken Gumbo (over rice) and Carribean Red Beans and Rice."

Dan & Suzi - "Cold steak salad"

Bob & Vic - Homemade hot bread and a Monster meat loaf.

Joe & Vicky - Cabbage stew


Post what you would like to bring and I'll keep a running list of menu items..

Friday night we will have a "wine and Cheese" get together (on site #70) where we can meet each other.
This is a voluntary party but if you plan to attend just bring a bottle of wine (or two) and a "finger food" to serve between wines.
Kraft beers are always welcome as well so bring your favorite for the enjoyment of all.

A stealth attendee: I was looking at the camping map, intending to join the party ..... and then it turned into a family gathering instead, though on the same weekend. So I'll be a bit further away (#336) and doing dinners with family -- but we do plan to meander through "Teardrop Lane" to check out all the other tears! Mine is a tear, but I'll be with a 19 ft Roadtrek RV and beside a pop-up. Just bought my tear a week ago. Got to give it a first test out!

[bobhenry]

Glad to hear you will be in the neighborhood. I am certain all will welcome you and yours to the pitch in dinner there is always more than enough. So plan on dinner with us and we can swap a few lies. I will be the fool in a red barn.

Bob,
I like the "barn to be wild".......what a clever idea, a dual usage trailer. Are you planning to park your lawn mower inside when you're not camping?
What are the finished dimensions?
Won't you miss sleeping under the stars?
