Jim
I've been busy Yard work etc and getting ready for my daughter's wedding this coming weekend Be glad when it's over
At this point I don't want to plan anything very far away, so am planning on camping at Bailey's Ford park just south of Manchester
http://www.delawarecountyia.com/countyparks001.html
Nice park Easy to get to Normally crowded but not this time of the year. I drove through Saturday Was surprised how many campers were there but not crowded at all. I really wished I was camping too but at least I got some much needed work done at home What a beautifull weekend. Never believe the weathermen!!!!
Bailey's is located at 2379 Jefferson Road Manchester Iowa 52057
Take the first Manchester exit from hyw 20 Take a left and its about 3 miles.
Randy
P.S. Anyone else out there All are invited It shoud be fun

Randy,
Sounds like a plan. :thumbsup: Mapquest names the park...Pin Oak County Park...and puts the star on the southeast end of the park.

It will be a nice drive. I hope to be out there before 8pm on the 6th, hopefully sooner depending on how work goes. :worship:

Hope the weather is good for your daughter's big day 8)

Thanks Randy for hosting a camp-out at Bailey's Ford in Manchester, IA. :thumbsup: Delaware County sure has a lot of nice campgrounds! I enjoyed the Chili and the conversation. :beer: You have a good looking TD and a cool puller.

Thanks Jim
I enjoyed everything Great fall weather, talking TD's, swapping stories, good food and of course tipping a few. I hope we can get a few more together and do this again
I like a lot of what you did on your tear especially your cookstove Perfect timing to incorporate one into my galley Now I have to find one.
