Fort Scott via Crawford

[SandyD]

Coming down from Minnesnoooooowta !!

I actually make the drive to Texas and back several times a year and go right by. I've always wanted to camp at Crawford and I have Northern Gathering plans already in September.

I'd arrive in the afternoon.

I appreciate the site save.

[Darren]

I knew of Chicken Annies. I didn't know of any other plans. I could have sworn Phil had posted something on food but for the life of me I cannot find it back. I am bringing some sausage and pancake makings for Sat morning. BBQ sounds good to me. I figured I would just wing it and see what happens.

Nathan

[Miriam C.]

Ok I will bring some brisket and buns...I don't eat heavy when camping and Sami will probably starve.

Um where on earth is Trudy.......

[Darren]

I broke down and had to come home. Wheel bearing locked up, then broke loose.

I'm driving down to visit for a while.

[okiecamper]

Oh Darren.....

Hope you got it home without any further damage


And Folks, I am sorry about not making the campout.

but, Tuesday afternoon I went to the ER with chest pains

They kept me over night, and ran tests and all looked good (heart enzymes
were normal)

So I was released Wednesday afternoon and came home.

I called Darren Thursday Morning telling him what happened and I couldnt make it up there.

The Cardiologist wanted to give me a Neuclear Stress Test on Friday (today)


did that this morning, came home and after a rest went back to have my

scans done a second time.


Will get the results next week (Monday)

anyway this week end I will be at home and go back to the Doctor Monday.



I did pass the stress test though,



I really wanted to get to meet all of you, but there will always be another campout.



I do hope you all have a fun week end. sorry i'll miss it

Phil, glad to hear everything checked out. Sorry you had to miss out on your trip.

We ended up with four trailers (that made it all the way). And hot humid weather although we had a breeze off the lake most of the time which helped.

Our furthest traveled, Sandy!


Bob's neat little Bak-Pak:


Miriam's teardrop:


And mine, Nathan's cargo conversion:


Good food and great visiting with old and new friends.

Nathan

[Miriam C.]

We're here.......Thanks guys for a wonderful time. It was really nice to meet Nathan and Sandy.....And see Bob and Darren again. Folks you will never meet better people.

Thanks also for the help with the First up. Goes up so fast when lots of folks are helping.

Thanks especially for Sandy helping take down. Poor Sandy was inundated with visitors all weekend. Good job Steve. Your creation is really beautiful!!!

And I mean if someone wasn't talking to her the others came over.......

We had a great Sunday morning cause Crawford had a bunch of double Kayaks to demo. My Granddaughter realllllllyyyyyyy liked them.......

Uh Sandy got to stay.....I am glad someone gets to enjoy it.

[Miriam C.]

Phil so happy you didn't end up with something immediate and serious. Chest pain at our age is pretty scary. Hope this is resolved for you soon.

[FireLion]

My thanks to all, Miriam, Sandy, & Nathan for the great food and good times...I had a blast! It was good to see old friends and meet a new friend, see y'all down the road.... :-)

[Miriam C.]

Shouldn't Sandy have tuned in by now. Was she gonna play all week?

Bob it was a nice weekend. Thanks for coming and showing us your Backpak. Um spelled it wrong huh!

[Nathan N]

:o Shouldn't Sandy have tuned in by now. Was she gonna play all week?

Bob it was a nice weekend. Thanks for coming and showing us your Backpak. Um spelled it wrong huh!

She took two days to come down. As she was staying Sunday night I expect she will be back home today and will check in.

nathan: maybe you could design some sort of mini-crib for my trailer??
