BigTom

I am in also

If I remember correctly, you can get popcorn right at the entrance to the theater.

I gave my travel agent the date I wanted  right after the first of the year. Got all the dates I wanted reserved for the next year.

Welcome, you will find the Fort is habit forming. BigTom

Have made a reservation for Halloween week, never been for Halloween, what should I expect. How about trick or treaters, do the kids do that at the Fort and if so how many should I expect to come by. BigTom

We had a 1980 chevy 2500, 4 door with a 454 engine. That thing would pull anything you hooked to it if you could afford the gas. About 8 mpg was all it would get and took 40 acres to turn it around.

We were are the fort last Thanksgiving and while crowded, it was not bad. Already made reservations for next Thanksgiving.

I was out of college, married and had a couple of kids at that time. Does that make you feel better?

Thanks Rennie!

 

I dont think anyone should be looking over there shoulder though.

 

The art of the TR is the story telling and I am far from the best story teller.

 

 

LOL......I was in junior sized underoo underwear.  Does that make you feel better?

Just finished a large bowl of hot boiled peanuts. bought at wally world and zapped in microwave,better than I thought they would be.

Those who don't like or haven't tried boiled peanuts, I say don't eat them, leaves more for us who think they are one of the best things you can eat almost as good as dole whips.

Happy Birthday, BigTom

Happy Birthday TJ. A little early, but was up early and calling it a night. BigTom

If I have my pants on, my knife is in the pocket. Have carried it in all the parks and never been asked about what is in my pockets.

I also like the 2000 loop, have been in it twice, large sites. Usually stay from Sunday til Saturday and the loop in almost empty on those days. We had a large group in 1400 on one site than in 2000. I think they had 5 tents on one site for the week I was there.

Went to the tractor pulls today, still did not see that tractor. If you have never seen tractor pulls, you would be surprised by them. Were pulling ulimited today, like the one in the overflow lot. Full blown big block engines. roll cages, seat belts and all. like a drag race with tractors pulling weights. They pullon dirt and those big spinning tires throw dirt 20-30 fee in the air. something to see if you ever orerated a tractor. Hard one engine blow at the start line while I was there, bet that was expensive.

Looked ove the tractors in the pulling area today,didnot see that tractor, but it could have been there. Tom

That tractor looks like a pulling tractor, they are having tractor pulls at Florida Flywheelers this week. Will look around and see if it is here. Tom

There is another large Banyon tree in Brandenton, don't remember the address. It is down the street from where my Grandparents lived and covers accross the road.

Merry Christmas and hope everyone has a God blessed new year.

As we were going by your blow ups, didn't know it was yours or would have stopped, my 4 yr old DGD exclaimed " I know what that is, that is a GO GATOR. Guess she is planning on Florida for college.

I have a friend with leprosy. They think he got it from cleaning a wild animal, probably armadillo. It is called Hanson disease now, sounds better, can be controlled, but not cured.

I was there that week tooin site 1410. Sorry I didn't get to meet you. BigTom

I am glad that the Tab followed you instead of you following it. Beautiful area you went through.

That green stuff in the canel is called "Duck Weed". Ducks are suppose to like to eat it however it covers most of the water pond around here with ducks swimming in it. BigTom

Is there a web site that list available sites by dates?
