Let me know ......................................  it will 4 of us coming   

 

[dougmays]

LOL! Sorry, yes i meant Nov 17-19....i had Spring Gathering on the mind :)

 

[dougmays]

This is also the weekend of Keith's birthday so we might have to get creative with some kind of BBQ Birthday Cake :)

 

[tiki guy]

Booked !   November 17TH & 18TH   Me Miss Karin Site 121  Jason & Mike as well ........................

Now that leaves me plenty of time to figure out what to smoke ... Thanks Doug 

 

[dougmays]

I messed up and stole Keith's spot (87), thinking it was the gathering site (88). He and i will work that out but the sucky part is we lost 88...so we might have to change it up and "gather" at 86. I'll keep watching the Reserve America site and if anyone else can keep an eye out for 88 opening that'd be great!

 

[sunerylander]

Am I too late for this?

Too bad

Not at all @SuneRylander! Come on out and camp with us or just come for the day Saturday if you want. Where are you located?

 

[dougmays]

Let me correct myself @SuneRylander  ....i was thinking you were posting about the gathering we are having this weekend in Sebring. This gathering will be this coming November so still alot of time to plan! We'd love to have you

[jammo]

Have any of you come early or stayed extra days to tour the park? I have looked at the pics and it looks interesting.

Just trying to justify 450 miles each way in Nov .
