Welcome Earl,

:thinking: Discovered something sites 96,98 and 99 the 3 booked at the bottom of the map show booked when you try and register a popup but when you register a tent they show available. So I don't think there really booked I think the will only hold tent sized.
That means there's only 1 site that's a mystery camper the site between Don and Rob.
:twisted: Oh they'll be converts for sure with that many tears around them :lol:

not sure about the windows, I can seem to find what I am looking for I would like them as big as possible and I want them to open, no luck so far, might have to change that part of the plan.

Got a link to a domed bubble window site. you can make them whatever size by however bubbled you want, if that made since but they won't open.

another idea is that there is a big rv surplus stor in montpeiler indiana. it's west of marion on sate road 18. they have tons of windows, only draw back is that u have to look real hard to find matches. that's where i found mine.

Wish I knew that when I was building. I spent all my scavenger days in the Elkhart area. Well they say you learn something new every day. Is it May yet?

I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Dan, How's the thumb coming.

I have a meeting in Indy on the 18th and I've booked a hotel room at Motel 6 in Columbus for that nite. On Saturday (Jan 19) the day of the Winter gathering, I'll get over to Brown County State Park to do CPR or warming therapy on the campers if needed.

Are you planning on attending? If so, you're my hero. Who else would go through the dilema you did and still have the dedication to go Winter camping?
