  1. That would be a great idea. Maybe they can put it in the 3000 loop. Lol
  2. The group area is taken over by the tee pees every thanksgiving.
  3. Oh and the drain. They dig a trench then fill it with pine needles. Then they lay the pipe over it to slowly drain into the trench. A modified French drain
  4. A couple years ago TCD I saw you post a picture of a dishwasher with a tube running through the empty area behind the campers. It was in the 2000 loop. I think it was thanksgiving weekend. This week in our looping I found it again, if it's the same guy. They are now in the 1500 loop. So of course I had to stop and ask him what was up. He let me take a picture of the front of the site then took me for a tour. It was quite the set up. They have 3 refrigerators, 1 deep freeze freezer, and 1 kegerator. They also have two commercial griddles, and red commercial ovens. Yeah also have a warming stati
  5. You all are awesome. We were excited when we won and we're trying to share it on here. I am far from computer savvy, so Facebook makes it easy for post and go. I saw that I could post in the comments so I did. I totally agree. Facebook is so overloaded with drama. I do have to give a shout out to TCD. My family has been camping here since it opened, but in multiple generations. So a lot of stuff you just walk by and don't notice, or pay attention to when it is gone. His trio reports helped us find quite a few things on these scavenger hunts. Even the cast members had a picture of something t
  6. I tried to post a picture on the fort fiends Facebook, but I had to put it in the comments section. Is it set up that way. Just curious. I don't have a photo bucket account to post the, on here. Was posting a picture of winning the scavenger hunt. This year they gave a trophy, don't get excited. It was a very small trophy and nothing special. A dollar store trophy with champions taped around the bottom. It wasn't much, but it means the world to our son. We immediately came home and put it on display inside the camper. He wanted to superglue it down so it never moves.
  7. Thank you for getting it lit before we got there, but can you finish fixing the lights. Lol
  8. Does anyone know if thanksgiving dinner is all night at trails end, or only a certain time. We saw a reservation for 915, but weren't sure if it is still thanksgiving dinner. Last year we ran around so much during the day cooking was on the bottom of our list. So we were thinking appetizers around 5 to hold us over then swoop in for dinner. Also whispering canyon had a reservation at the same time. We didn't know if they did anything
  9. We will be there Wednesday. Get some lights on that tree before we get there. Lol. Sounds like a midnight mission
  10. Wait. They said you weren't allowed to use your smart phones. Are you saying people didn't listen. Lol
  11. We went to the beach party. It wasn't that great. Most kids ended up just playing on the beach instead of partaking in the party. That was fine with us though. We saw the water parade and wishes and left after the hula hoop contest. It was a neat idea, but I think it needed a little tweaking.
  12. It has been a long journey. Last year we hoped we were nearing the end, but come January we realized there will be no end during his life. However , we do hope we are at the end of the beginning.
  13. Thanks everyone. I will keep you updated. Fingers crossed.
  14. Thanks for the tips. We ended up getting out of the hospital late. We were staying close to the water and there was a ton of restaurants right there. We just walked to one of those and then went to bed. Maybe next time we will have more time.
  15. TCD. I know your a west coaster, well at least when it comes to us Florida boys. We are at all children's hospital in st Petersburg today and tomorrow, we're heading back home tomorrow night. Any tips on places to eat or quick things to do in st Petersburg. We are staying downtown I guess. We haven't seen the hotel yet, we drove across this morning for our appointments.
  16. You guys rock. Thank you very much. We hear it's a tight competition right now so every vote counts. He already had make a wish, so when we asked him about this wish he said he wanted to help other kids. One was a kid he met in Baltimore in the hospital that he became good friends with. We went to a few Orioles games with him and the two sat in church every Sunday together. That kid just had a kidney transplant this week to survive. He wanted to bad to go see him. The other child he wants to help has a similar condition to one of his and lives in South Carolina. The family barely had enough m
  17. Hello all. Many of you have helped us figure out our medical trip to Baltimore and more. You have followed our journey. Our son now has a chance to win his 10,000 dollar wish. His wish is to set up a non profit helping other get to hospitals not close to them called the flip flop warriors, flip flopping to a cure. He also wants to take half the money and help to other kids get to Hopkins for medical care. He is n a competition if you could vote for kemp that would be awesome. You can vote as much as you want. Over and over again. Or share on your social media pages and ask friends to vote for
  18. Remember don't stress out. Typically I get stressed out with the fact I might be holding people up. I am pretty good at backing in. So what I usually do, especially if you have a premium spot. I back into the spot anyway possible. I get in the spot to clear the road. Once in I leave my wife in the back with a handheld Motorola radio. I tell her to tell me before I hit something. I back as far into the spot as I can. Then I get out and survey the spot. Where the water, electric and sewer is and where I want the camper. I then pull forward aiming towards where I want the camper. As I pass where
  19. What time you getting there. I would love to come watch. We're heading in tomorrow also
