    It is comforting to me that even though I have been gone from FF a lot, and have missed out on so much, your selfies still suck.  The familiarity of it makes me feel right at home.
     
    Carry on.

    I would think of bring some type of fan that you could use in or out of the tent, think it would be a big help at least for sleeping.

    No need to PM, I think we're all pretty proud of our Snarky past and all that led us here.  :)
     
    Here's the Reader's Digest version...
     
    A bunch of us used to hang out on another camping forum and our Snarkiness and shenanigans were not appreciated by a few of the other members - in particular some that liked to go crying to the moderators any time someone posted something they didn't like.
     
    Cut to a whole lot of cupcakes, and a reply of "No" by FWG to a "is it worth it" question, and the banning began.
     
    Many that weren't banned left of their own accord anyway, when it became apparent that the sandbox was no longer going to be any fun to play in.
     
    Cut to Auburns Jen & Chris coming up with the genius idea of building a new sandbox and the business of tracking down all the MIA Fiends that scattered to the interwebz winds began, while those at the old place that stuck around said "let them go, who needs 'em, thousands will take their places."  This new place would not be like other places that are heavily moderated by a select group.  Everyone is expected to be a grown-up, sort of, and moderate themselves.  If you say something stupid or out of line, no one is crying to the principal, but you can count on being called out about it right out in the open.  People disagree (there's a whole board for that) but people are expected to respect each other and play nice, and if not... well put on your big boy/girl pants and sort yourselves out because no one is going to do it for you.

    It's now 4+ years later, and the original 30-ish has grown to nearly 2000. We have more than 430k posts. We have a trip report forum with 620 threads and more than 71k views!
     
    All a far cry from the old place.  I won't compare the 2 because there simply is no comparison - in numbers, information, posts, community, threads, trip reports... really anything - plus I don't like bothering to even bring it up and get it any attention. Suffice to say it's a shell of its former self and hasn't grown at all since "the big flush" - quite the contrary in fact. 
     
    Meanwhile Fiends put out their signs (some times of the year there's hardly a loop without one!), meet, visit, hold massive Grand Gatherings all over the country, post terrific and entertaining TRs, share great information, and help each other out when in need. Some have left over the years.  Sometimes they return (and are always welcome to!) but sometimes life takes them other places.  However more have joined on since those early days, and have become as much a part of Fiendom as the original rag-tag bunch of internet castaways. And the Fiend family keeps on growing!!
     
     
     
    And yeah... I'll never get a job at Readers Digest.

    My sources tell me that if you are ever questioned regarding the biometrics, start chanting loudly and wave another country's flag.  They'll let you right in.

    The ribbed siding is actually lighter in weight and also easier to repair if needed, not mention less costly.

    Only on FF.net does a thread about Disney ticket prices morph into a thread about liquor prices.  :D

    In general nowadays people demand everything to be perfect in their day to day lives, and they don't want to be bothered with details, excuses or logical explanations as to why something didn't go their way
     
    Disney Magic hype, their print/TV advertising and mailers, and promises, just make it worse once people drive under those welcoming arches.
     
    They were promised Disney Magic, and damn it, they are going to get it no matter how many other people they have to screw over or how many crying kids they have to drag thru the parks!

    I love how he is looking at the camera, as if he's saying "look at these two....I don't know what I'm going to do with them."

    First of all welcome from your neighbor to the north. I'm assuming DFW stands Dallas Fort Worth.
    I personally have never seen a mother-in-law plan so your probably going to sleep on a sleeper sofa. But I'm by no means an expert on rv's. I am sure you'll get some more responses tomorrow. Weekends tend to be slow around here. Lol
    We do have a sponsor of this site that rents bigger travel trailers 30' plus. And IIRC they have a TT with an outdoor kitchen. The website is http://www.traveltrailerrent.com.
    Good luck and again welcome aboard.

    I'm not kidding:  What in the world do they have at the Mall that you can't get at the Meadow Trading Post?  If it's not at the Trading Post, you don't need it.
     
    Anyone who leaves the Fort to go to the Mall should turn in his Fiend card at the gate.

    For the BEST bumper cars at any amusement park you have to go to Knoebels in Elysburg Pa we always compare other parks to theirs and no one ever comes close.
