Base balls don't need a house. They have a room in the castle.

We have a Jayco 806 popup. Basic model with a/c. I removed the sink and stove, added microwave and dorm refrigerator that we set on counter because we needed more room that camper came with. We do our cooking outside unless bad weather and then nuke something. We have a/c and would not have one without a/c. It covers outside noise and also keeps the humidity down in the camper. It covers noise so well that we had a campsite right by the bus stop a few times 1501 once and the bus noise did not brother us at all.

Am pulling with a 6 cylinder pickup and a minivan, don't even feel it back there. If you have any question, let me know.

Good for you, knew you could do it.

I have seen that cabin in the 1500 loop before, possible in 2000 loop, so it must be towable.

Maybe we all should send Sil a magnet to make Jason's day. We need an address

Not many of us native Floridians in this state, but we do say y'all. What other word is there to use that works better?

I have been to the Fort during busy times, not as much as TCD but often. There are always some empty sites, not many but always  a few.

I am in on the mufflers for the race cars. Sign my name big so they can read it without their cheaters.

Thought I would get some response on my post, and yes you should feel a little nervous first few times, but not a thing to be afraid of and after a few times should be no problem to the average driver.

What is so hard about pulling trailer? It is going to follow you, allow a little extra for turns and don't tailgate the vehicle in front of you, make sure your lights work is about all there is to it. I have been towing trailers for about 60 years and really can't understand the problem.

How about those of us with larger wrist. I have to have links installed in my watch band to fit.

When DW and I go, usually one will go get the food and the other will find a table.

I am in and I agree about the race cars. You would think they could afford mufflers for the price they charge. I don't even like trucks with loud exhaust. The buses make enough noise at the fort, don't need anymore.

We were there last year on the 4th, never again for us. Crowds were bad then add in BTG and there wasn't room to move. Fireworks were real good on the 4th, but will be somewhere else next year.

Help me make a decision. I can remove the canvas and have it repaired, remember it is 30 years old and don't know how much damage I will do to it. It ripped real easy when it tore and probably the rest is just as weak. Or I can patch this spot so it can be used, the repair would actually be under the edge of the bunk, it is torn in the seam where it folds under bunk. After the first of the year when I get my fruit money (I grow oranges and sell them around the first of the year)I can order new canvas for the complete trailer. We like this trailer and plan on keeping it for several more years. What would you do?

This weekend we tore the canvas on our popup, the flap that turns under the bunk about 2 feet on stitch line. Local canvas shop says it need to be removed from trailer for repair, How hard is it to remove and reinstall fabric from 1983 Jayco 806 trailer. I think it is original fabric and is in real good condition.

Went by your site once, nobody around. Never got a chance to go back. We were in 1405

A little bit of info. General George Meade was stationed in my home town during the 2nd Seminole War. He was Lt. Meade at that time and the town is named for him now after the fort that was there, although the for was named Fort Clinch when he was here. Who would think a famous general from Gettysburg would have  a connection to a small town in central Florida. Fort Meade the oldest town in Polk County. Also had Stonewall Jackson stationed here.    

My Mother always said "great minds think run in the same canel or is it all All fool think alike"

Interesting information

I agree the new rates make you stop and think. We have decided no AP next year and try dome different campgrounds. Already made reservations for the 4th of July weekend at a different park. My son has decided to sell his camper after the next 2 trips we have planed for next month.

I want to let you'll know how much I enjoy trip reports, read them all some of them more than once. Don't understand how

TCD can do as much as he does in a trip, makes me tired reading them. Couldn't keep up with him and the twins even if I was 30 years younger. Thanks for all the effort you put out for us , BigTom

You can camp at Walmart in parts of Florida. Some places don't allow it and some do. Check with manager.

You have Buddy, don't need a mask, scary enough without one.

I was surprised how the characters just wandered around the ship when we went on the Dream. Rode the elevator with Peter Pan once and asked him why didn't he just fly down the stairway, claimed he was tired.
