Tom

Very true Annie. I hate the time right after leaving and realizing how long it will be until you return. Thanks for the perspective! 17 months down. 7 to go!

yes it is hard 3days down 2 days to go :jumpforjoy

Now I am hungry great idea lets see more

It's to be expected. The freeloader problem really gets Fort regulars ticked off.

yes ,yes it does

Tom, I assure you that no one cares what the paying customers of Fort Wilderness think.

That has been proven time and time again.

Just bring a lot of beer and don't worry about it.

TCD

ill bring vodka its quicker and easier on the waist. we need to get together when we are thereat the same time it would be fun

Man! talk about chasing rabbits... or squirrels... I try to post a public service announcement, and look where this thing has gone... This is not one of Dave or Andrew's trip reports... :rofl3:

well TCD and I are both from the south whats your point?

Yes, the only entrance is manned by security guards. Have you had the pleasure of meeting one yet? They make the idiot managers look like MENSA members.

And, don't forget that the Fort bus drivers happily drive the freeloaders and all their crap to the pool.

In the meantime, there are Rangers patrolling the campground to make sure that none of the guests who have paid big money to stay there break the rules about having all of their vehicle's tires on the pavement of their sites.

TCD

yes I do agree with your post

Who would be over the fort managers?

how many fiends are there 800 plus ? do you think the fort mng would ignore a petition from 800+ customers? they just may but it might be worth a try

Sure, a lot of people have complained.

Did you miss the part about the managers being idiots?

TCD

they must be it would be super hard to restrict accsess seeing that the only entrance is maned by a security gaurd :bugeyes:

It's not an issue to the idiots who manage the Fort.

But it is an issue to anyone who is paying for a campsite and wishes to visit the pool on any summer weekend or holiday day.

If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. If you want to go swimming, don't forget your shoehorn. And if you want to sit by the pool BYOC (bring your own chair), because those all get claimed for the day early.

TCD

The pool was super crowded last time we were there(last month) and the campground was not that full..I see your point Has anyone made a group protest to the mng of the fort?

Is this local free loader issue a real issue? florida offers gator permits to keep the numbers under control . Maybe a freeloader permit?

Hey Tom you are going to have a blast. we will be in the 600 loop(hopefully) on the 23,Look forward to meeting another Tom

Tom W

ahh the smell of fresh asphalt in the morning

the 500 loop is nice with many LARGE sites all seem to have easy acsess. we were in full hookup 1800 I believe plenty of lot space but acsess was very tight at the time we had a 38' fifth wheel

Husband brought home mingos from Target. They were really pretty when I first painted them. They are starting to show their pink now though.

Can I just respray or do I have to scrap off all the old stuff first?

If there is no peeling I would just touch up with another coat...or drop them off with me on the way back north(flamingos dont like cold) and I will give them a florida home :rofl2:

thanks rita my wife is going at lunch Ill tell her

ok but if you get dog withdrawal charlie or Tasha would be more than happy to let you pet them :rofl3:

poor dogs, camping is our dogs joythey especially love the fort

Glad to hear you're getting things worked out. As far as markings, purple shoe polish across the windshield w/ glitter should will definately get Doodle's attention!! :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

I dont have glitter either....I do have a hairless dog though

Purple flamingo :)

so I need a pink flamingo and purple paint,where would one find a flamingo?(plastic I hope)

We too should be in the 600 loop . I dont think my sign will be there till the 28. I will post our site# is there another way(besides ordered sign) to mark our site?

Understand, sometimeslife just gets in the way of our fun

yes Unfotunately I have not been able to figure a way to pay for play with out work and it does get in the way of fun

cool!! Although, I think I'd be jonesing to pick it up earlier than that to make sure everything was "right" so that they have time to fix what they messed up!! (Do I trust RV techs, NO!!!!!!!) i am jonesing but they are 3hrs away so im taking off at lunch thursday to mant patients tomarrow and wed

As my grand heathens say on the way to the fort WOOHOO! spoke with the service dept they said our moterhome is ready, so we will drive over thursday afternoon to get it and load up friday.

Tom thanks for asking! I am doing very well really! I am tired of sleeping on my back, I just don't rest well like that. I'm old and when I can't turn over during the night I wake up stiff and achy! Once I get passed that I am doing Great! I have not even been taking pain meds since Saturday! :)

wonderful
