Awesome!!! I haven't seen them at the fort Before but i have seen them twice i think at Buena Vista Palace. My DGF loves that hotel for some reason.

So, we went to Laugh Floor.

You will never believe who was "That Guy."

I have to post a photo so you'll know that I'm not lying:

That's crazy.

Why do the monsters always pick on me?

I don't get it.

I thought they always pick a clueless old guy?

Or a lug?

Why me?

It's hard to top being That Guy.

TCD

That's very true!!! I will have to say that i have gotten 2 of those Wonderful stickers!!! I cant wait to get another.

But at least they picked a not so clueless old guy this time

Well, if you ever do stay in one of the treehouses, you should have a cocktail party one afternoon and invite all of the Fiends.

OK Lug, I have spent more time than I care to admit trying to figure this out.

WTF?

TCD

ditto on the Tree house Open house!!!

The geese will always prevail!!!

This is a great TR!!!! Bravo!

Hey Lou,

I hate to ask this... but has a parent forgot to remove the child before folding the stroller? If that happened in front of you how in the world did you keep a straight face?

HAHAHAHA I cant wait to hear the response to this!!

Just to document it, we went by the Fishing Hole on the way to the pool. A couple of folks were fishing. None of them were catching:

TCD

You know I couldn't place it but I just figured it out.

This picture and the last picture of the fishing hole that is being lied about on the fort page reminded me of somewhere. I couldn't place it until now. It reminds me of the river country nature walk along bay lake.

1. You snooze. You lose.

2. Egg roll stands? I don't think I have even seen one. And I know I have never gotten an egg roll at WDW. But, I would like to try one. The Noodle Station on the way to Tomorrowland was the same way for us- I really wanted to try it, but it was never open. I have heard good things about the tacos, too. Mark my words, I am going to get one of those danged tacos soon!

TCD

The egg roll stands are in-between the tiki room and the dole whip pineapple stand. They are tasty. They also have good corn dogs.

You are correct, there are dolphins in a couple of the pictures! I also noticed the helecopter, was that a tourist kind or life flight? The water seemed very calm there.

That was a POPO chopper. Yes it was very calm. But later that night the bottom dropped out!!!

Very good!! someone noticed!! but not to worry. It is already in route back to is previous glory. I may revisit this in the future as i age more but as for now i don't like a smooth lip. Feels weird!

The Hotel is nice. If you look closely in some of the water pics you can see there are some Dolphins in the water. That was really cool.

so as usual i am not into the whole typing up a REAL TCD style Trip Report. So i will do my standard Picasa link. :)

Pensacola 2011

Awesome report so far i am in for the long haul!!! I have a couple trips coming up to the Fort. I am in Pensacola for 2 weeks right now for work.

Better Late than never!!! WOW That took a Looooong time to catch up but i read, watched, and laughed at it all!!

The best part is they also have a salad bar!!!

Andrew you now have a place to shop on the beach!

That's is all moving on!!!

I will post more pics later in another report! :)

OK.

And then I want us both to go in at the same time and see if one of us gets picked!

That would be fun, right?

TCD

That would be absolutely Hilarious!! I wonder if they would just mentally shutdown?

Nope.

Not for TCD anyway.

You are barking up the wrong tree there.

But I will confess that I kind of have the Monsters figured out.

I have a few tricks that have worked in increasing my chances of being That Guy.

But, those are trade secrets that I am not at liberty to divulge.

Lug could be another story.

He does look a bit like Buddy Boyle.

TCD

We must talk off forum and compare notes!!! I have gotten the ticket twice now. So we need to get our science together!!

I'm here!!! I have seen all the Star Wars. I like them. But somethings are a little much for my taste.

So the next day we had some interesting stuff happen!

So what you will see there is my stairs into the front of my camper. THEY ARE BROKE!!!!!!! :argh: :argh: I was nicely walking into the camper and boom there it goes! So i had to take a spare tent spike and bend it in place to make a temp fix. (It is still in the shop now getting that fixed and the missing "F" in Flagstaff on the front of our camper. It went byby! You can see it a few post up in one of the pictures I already posted.

This is a cat riding a bike!!!

So there really aren't many pictures in this part but it is a good story!

So we started early with the blender!!! I mean we had to make a store run at Noon for refills! I made about 15 different varieties, and they were all drunken in more ways than one.

So as i was consuming my unknown numbered frozen concoction my DG gets a text message, but she cant make a phone call because the signal is crummy. So i let her take my truck to the opening of the park to make the call to her Step Dad.

So while she is gone with my truck i get a random email. it is our security team from work telling me that an iPhone of an employee in Delaware was lost somewhere. Well i need to grab some stuff and get online. Well i borrow a car and head to taco bell with a 16 y/o driving due to the frozen goodness in my system. When i get to Taco Bell (Free Wi-FI) i think well I’ll just sit in the parking lot. Yeah not so much. They had a setup that was confining to the interior of the structure. So I go inside. And i was going ot get a drink to provide some business. BUT IT FORGOT MY WALLETT!!!

So i finally get online with ease now that there is a connection. After some GPS tracking and a couple phone calls i get the user who lost the phone on the line. Well he said he lost it in DE near our offices. I am tracking the device in Maryland!!! So I verify it is still online and the user initiate the contact with the sticky fingered bandit! I had it narrowed down to a neighborhood. I provided the info to the police. I sent some good messages to the phone letting them know that it was a Children's hospital device but they didn't care. So i wiped the phone and provided the location to local police!

I was told they have charges pending but the phone was not recovered! I don't know the details.

If you are interested here is a link to all the pictures to see ones that I didn't post.

Picasa Album

So on the way home there was an interesting situation other than the cat riding the bike above.

There are 7 RV's including me in this convoy it was good times!

So that's all that i really have for now! All in all it was a fun trip and we had some interesting situations!

Ok so the rest of the day after the first spring experience was relaxing! I really enjoyed my A/C!! It was HOT!! The bugs were rampant! I am normally one who will sit outside and enjoy outdoors and family round the campfire quality time! But it was a little uncomfortable. But the deer decided to show back up!

So the younger sober group decided we were smart and started joining us for a impromptu movie night in the camper. We watched "I am Number 4", & "Gnomeo and Juliet" It was a full house in the camper.

The night ended with everyone asleep but me and I had to play wake up and go to your tent! Surprisingly i liked both the movies.

Next morning DG's Uncle took the kids and the boat to the Suwanee boat ramp and let the kids play in the shallow water, & playground. We went to the Springs again while they did that!

I'm a little late to the party but glad I found this TR. This is my kind of excitement (being a city girl :rofl2:)

Waiting for more :banana:

Can't wait to read more!!!

Here it comes!

Nice looking truck!

Thanks!!! I love it! It is my absolute favorite thing right now!

Hey Lug!

I missed the start of your report.

But I'm all caught up now (which didn't take long!)

Great job so far!

Looking forward to more.

I've never been to these springs.

Looks nice!

TCD

Glad to see ya here! You missed the start and now everyone is waiting! At-least there wasn't a hippie hijack during the day!

OK so the next morning started! It started out like any morning with 18 In-Laws you would expect! Screaming Kids yelling HURRY HURRRY!! Come see! Well I guess that my expectations were a little higher because it was just some darn deer! Neat but i guess I was expecting Gators, Snakes, broken legs, etc for this kinda excitement!!!

Ok i think that is enough deer pictures. I have more! But later they come back and i get in trouble by Sally Law Woman for giving it some bread! O well! Only time she comes by and i get caught!!!

I also decided that my NEW to ME truck decided some camera time! These are my FREE Cadillac Escalade Running boards!

You can also see my new spray in bed liner! Love it! Line-X!

We started to get breakfast ready and then go to the springs.

The young man to the left in this picture ^ was staying with us in our camper. He is like us! Appreciates A/C and No bugs :)

We then made our first trip to the spring!! It was nice!! I love spring water! It's cold! But i like it!

The NO cellphone signal was starting to creep into play. My DG Dana's Step Daddy is / was in Hospice at this time and the hourly updates on his worsening condition could not flow like normal so stress levels were elevated and there were many trips to civilization just to check messages.

Wow, how lucky can I get? Just finish reading Dave's TR, and now a new one starts! Work, schmerk. I'm ready for more -- bring it on! Looks like you've got quite the cast of characters there.

And I hear you on the sewer hook up. Whenever we go to the lake (more than half our camping trips), there's no full hookups. Boo!

Not sure about lucky this is gonna be my first try at a REAL Trip Report. Normally I just post my link to the Picasa Album and let you use your imagination!? But here's giving it the ole college try!

I'm waiting.... :popcorn:

I will try to keep updates coming ASAP!

:suspense: I'm in! Screaming rug rats, police and Taco Bell? This has gotta be good!

O yes very good! O and I forgot. I go crazy and have Multiple Kungaloosh extravaganzas on this trip! Multiple!

:siren: police?

Oh this should be good........ :popo: :banana: :parrot: :rofl2:

:popcorn:

O it was.

So here will be my non Fort Wilderness trip report.

We went to Manatee Springs State Park near Gainesville FL.

I think it was about 18 in-laws in total :bugeyes:, this was gonna be a great Memorial Day Drinking weekend! :beer:

We got a late start because of my, well I will just leave that part out! :rant:

Anywho we got there late… really late. Basically any later and the gates woulda been locked!

So when we got in I was in a super hurry to get the camper setup before it got dark. :panic: :mh1:

I have done it many time but that is one thing that I really hate. Setting up in the dark.

I realized something very interesting as I was setting up and about to hook up my stinky slinky (sewer hose), there wasn’t a sewer hookup! Now this might not be a big deal to everyone else. But I have just never done that before. I guess i have become accustomed to certain luxuries at the fort! So now I would have to make sure that I didn’t fill the holding tanks up. This was gonna be a big stress.

I sure as "crap" wasn’t about to hook up the truck and pull the camper to the dump at the front, half way through the stay. So I enacted my version of Marshal Law. No facilities unless emergent and in the middle of the night. :toiletreading: Other than that go to the semi comfortable stations. :dass:

The fun started on the next day with 18 In Laws and over half of those were screaming rug rats :insanity: that love me and all my techno gadgets (iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, Androids, computers, tablets of all varieties & Etc, Etc Etc.)

Now you may be wondering why in fact would I a lowly camper without even a sewer hookup be doing with all this technology, in the middle of no where with NO cell signal?? Well that is what I do for a living. I am THE IT GUY! For Nemours Children’s Clinic. I am the unofficial “Mobile Device Administrator” And in short that make me unofficially on call! More on that later, this was lots of fun which involved police, GPS Tracking, $600, Wi-Fi mooching, and a trip to Taco Bell!!

This was a good fun trip report!!!

I approve this TR!!
