The following pic made my wife cry when I showed it to her a few days ago. Wrigley would lay in Rolo's cage and she would lay in Belle's cage just to annoy Belle. Belle's cage is still set up and my wife's tshirt that Belle drug in there her last morning is still in there. Here is Vali laying in the cage in the exact position Wrigley would.

Then I just took this pic a few minutes ago. Minnie on the left while Vali is crashing hard from a catnip binge beside Rolo

I vacation so I do not have to plan.  Guess I'm part of a dying breed.

For kicks, you should try "people watching" at Pedro's Diner at midnight.  It's a one of a kind experience!

Stayed there in march. I think we paid $35-40 a night. Anyway it was the cheapest campsite i ever paid for. It was clean but plain. Served its purpose for an overnight stay. It is gated and the gate closes after a certain time of night. They give you a key card to access it if you leave/arrive during those hours. There was also a man driving around the campground patrolling it overnight. He seemed well "capable" of taking care of any situation if it arose. We will probably overnight there again next year.

The square here in Gettysburg can get interesting during tourist season with all the different drivers from all over displaying their different round a bout driving skills

I can make it rain at Mickey's Backyard Massage Parlor and Casino.

I vote for Shrek.  

I dug it.

That's easy..  That's my mother in law's garage.  She has many choices for transportation.

I hope that F-150 was a 2015, 4x2 Crew Cab with base trim and Heavy Duty Payload Package w/18" wheels.  Other wise he was overweight as the pin weight for that weight is 2000-2500lbs for a dry weight of 10k lbs.  If he had another 1k lbs of camping stuff in it, add another 200-250lbs to that pin weight.  Then you have to add in the weight from the driver, passengers, pets and other gear.The vast majority of 1/2 tons on the road as they are loaded with tons of options can not safely handle payload weights in that range.  There's a big number of 3/4 ton guys on the road who are blowing out their payload ratings with a 5er that size.  Just remember, just because you see someone or a group of people at a campground "doing it', It doesn't make it a good idea.  Sometimes, common sense is just not so....common. :)  Remember, Towing Capacity and Payload Capacity are two different animals. 
Also, Don't expect gas mileage while towing to be near the diesel.  A guy I know and sometime co-worker has a 2013 Ecoboost Crew Cab and routinely pulling a 7k 10' tall trailer around here and is getting 7-8mpg towing it.  I have noticed that he likes to accelerate harder than I do. 
As for me, the biggest reason I wouldn't consider any 1/2 ton anymore is towing stability and stopping.  My new 2500 handled our old travel trailer so much better then the 2011 1500 it was even noticeable to my wife in the passenger seat.  Stopping was much easier too.

We were down for our Anniversary in March.  We didn't make any ADR because we want to do what we want to do when the mood strikes us.  So, on the morning of our Anniversary, March 6th, I was reading DiT's trip report and saw the post about the California Grill.  So I suggest that to my wife to see if she would like to go there.  I had previously reviewed the CG's menu and to be honest, nothing on that menu sounded very appetizing to me.  My wife looked up their menu and without me saying anything, decided the same thing.  So, she remembered seeing the Artist Point in the WL and looked up their menu.  She immediately called them and had reservations for that night I think at 8 pm.  I had scheduled that night off of work so we could make an evening of it.  We decided on a boat trip instead of the bus and by some stroke of luck, we had the boat to ourselves.  Seeing the anniversary button on my wife's jacket, The boat 'captain' serenaded us with bawdy pirate themed songs for the trip :).  We arrived at the WL and only had to wait a few minutes for our table.  The restaurant had it's lighting set to low, but for me it was way to low as I needed a light to read the menu, but I suffer from Night Blindness to a degree.  While we're reading the menu, the waiter came out with complimentary champagne for us as my wife told them earlier we were celebrating our anniversary.  Score! 
Anyway, he asks us if we would like an appetizer or soup and salad to start out with.  I told him that I trust his judgement and to bring us what he would eat himself.  Shortly after, he brought us out Bread and Butter and two bowls of Smoked Portobello Bisque and he wanted to wait to see if we liked it. We both took a taste from our bowls and just looked at each other with wide eyes of satisfaction.  He knew from our looks that we were very happy with his choice and excused himself saying he would be back in a bit to see if we would like drinks and to order our entrees.  A few minutes later he came back and I had ordered an Apple Martini and my wife ordered an Espresso Coffee Martini.  I saw Salmon on the menu and got excited and stopped reading after Salmon.  Literally, I didn't anything after that word, didn't notice the price or read the description as it didn't matter because...Salmon..  I love Salmon.  mmmmmmm...mmmmmm...mmmmmmm, so that's what I ordered.  My wife ordered the Filet Mignon - medium done.
 
It didn't seem like it took a long time for the entrees to come out, although we both finished off the martinis and had to order another round before it came out.  The martinis were really tasty, as in went down very fast and smooth.  Anyway, our food comes out and there it is laid out in front of me, the sizzling salmon on the a cedar plank.  The salmon is transferred over to the plate with the rest of the entree.  I will say, the portion of salmon I received was larger then what is pictured above. 
My wife looks at me and asks "You really ordered that?" 
I reply back, "Yeah, Salmon.  Duh!"
She says, "No.  Brusselsprouts, Duh"
Me, "What!"
Because of the low light, I didn't notice them right away and remember, I stopped reading the menu after Salmon.
I hate, loath, abhor, detest those little evil weed balls.  You know how much I hate them?  As much as you all hate selfie sticks.  My wife tried to grow them one year in the garden.  I drowned those SOBs in so much weed killer, it took out about 1/8 of surround plants in the garden and the run off may have been responsible for the Potomac River Fish Kill of June 2010.
So anyway, I am now faced with a problem.  I tackle the salmon and I will say this with all seriousness.  I have never tasted Salmon before like that.  The texture was like no other too.  Awesome just doesn't describe it.  Better terms I could use would be; Outstanding, Stunning, Stupendous, Indomitable, Resplendent, Majestic or just simply Kickass.  At this point my wife is enjoying her filet and I have moved on to the other items on my plate.  She says her Filet was better then the one I grill at home.  That cut me deep because my grilled filet mignon is legendary around the family and friends who were fortunate enough to have over stayed their welcome whenever I've prepared it.  At $13.99/lb I'm not making that for them on purpose.  I had let her sample my Salmon earlier and she liked it as well.  Anyway, she cut me off a small piece of her filet and she was right.  It made mine seem like I've been grilling cube steak all this time.  She devoured the rest of the items on her plate with gusto :).  I did as well except the brussels.  There they laid, on the plate mocking me.  After some light stabbing of the pork and being shoved around the plate, my wife said, "Just try one, it might be different from the rest that you have ever tried".  After mulling it over a few minutes, I did just that.  And you know what?  I liked it!  It was like I was living a real life, Life Cereal commercial.  That chef did something special that night with those brusselsprouts.  I ate every single one of them and I actually would have ate more if they were there.  As if on cue, the waiter came up just as I was done and asked how everything was.  My wife told him something just short of a miracle just happened and my hatred of brusselsprouts and compliments to the chef for his magic with them.  He laughed and said he would be back in a minute.  He came back with a single plate with a nice sized piece of red velvet cake on it and said it was a gift from the chef for our anniversary to share with each other.  After we finished the piece of cake we were just filled up from the food, the water, the champagne, the martinis and even cups of coffee and just simply could not order dessert.  If we had, I'm sure that would have been exquisite as well.
 
Everything was perfect that night at the restaurant, from the superb service, to the superb staff and food.  The ambiance was even great despite my difficulties in low light situations.  My wife and I agree, that night was the best night we have ever had in any restaurant ever.  I guess you can say the pixie dust was really swirling around that night.  My only complaint from that night is I believe it has ruined salmon for me.  Since then, I've ordered salmon at least 8 different times at various restaurants, and each time I'm now wishing I was eating the salmon from Artist Point as every other place's dish is falling short.  Our experience at the Artist Point was a huge deciding factor in us pulling the trigger to stay at Disney in 2016.  The Fort being the larger factor.
 

I still can't get past the thought that this is a knockoff of Herman's Head.  

J&D Campground in Catawissa/Elysburg, PA.  Stayed there last in October.  Nice view, and wide open spaces and 1 mile from Knoebels Grove Amusement Park.  We have talked about parking our camper there as a Seasonal for awhile now.
Artillery Ridge Campground in Gettysburg.  Stayed there last Memorial Day even though it's 10 minutes from the house.  I just like it there, I can't explain why but everything just 'feels right' to me at that place.

In my case you need to add my wife's favorite saying: I was thinking? in which my reply  is how much is that going to cost me :dropjaw:

I'll just comment on your first reaponse.
"In your dreams". You just proved my point. That's an emotional response to my point.
You just keep telling your self those things. :rofl:
