  1. I thought I remembered seeing that dinosaur before. We were camping at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas over Thanksgiving this past year: From Texas Parks and Wildlife -"Dinosaur Models - The fiberglass models of the tyrannosaurus rex and apatosaurus were built by a New York artist, Paul Jonas, to exhibit at the New York City World’s Fair in 1964 - 65, then donated to the park in 1970" http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/dinosaur-valley
  2. The blacksmith was there last Thursday. We watched him for about 15 minutes while he was putting new shoes on a horse.
  3. It's part of the new DVC at the Fort. Lol. My mistake. I was hungry when I typed it.
  4. Just tried to make a purchase from Trails Inn and couldn't pay with my MB. The story we got was that the IT group is in the process of making a move to a new system and caused the outage for all of the parks and resorts. We were told that you can't pay with the MB, FP+ isn't working and people can't get into their rooms at any of the resorts. Not a very magical evening for some people.
  5. Glad we are already here today. Nice meeting you and Grandma this evening. I saw a popup and 3 cars on one site this evening. Does that count?
  6. Looks good! I feel better now since I'm not the only one who had their first globe turn out like this. We attempted to make our light this weekend. I guess the drill bit caught the globe wrong and it cracked into about 3 pieces. Our HD doesn't stock them either so now I'm waiting on a replacement.
  7. Another awesome trip report! Thanks for sharing! I think I see a trip to Disneyalnd in my future.
  8. I might have read what you wanted to do wrong. I thought you wanted to remove the goosneck hitch and install a 5th wheel hitch but still have the option to pull a gooseneck. Is your gooseneck hitch a Reese?
  9. On my previous truck I had the 5th wheel hitch rails installed in the bed. When I needed to pull my gooseneck trailer I used this adaptor. http://www.etrailer.com/Gooseneck/Reese/RP58079.html It worked well and I did not have any issues with it.
  10. We stayed at Twin Creek in Gatlinburg this past summer and would stay their again if we go back to the area. twincreekrvresort.com
  11. What you have (i.e. Class A, TT, 5th wheel): 41' 5th wheel If you're towing (so TT or 5th wheel) how heavy is it: Approx 15,000 lbs loaded If you tow, what is your tow vehicle: 2013 F350 DRW Gas mileage: 9-10 towing, 15 empty Do you like it, love it or hate it : Love it. If you'd like to make a change, change to what and why: We consided a Class A but decided to stick with a 5th wheel. They both have pros and cons.
  12. Cooked these Saturday. 5 hours indirect heat with a temperture between 225-250. And the finished product: Fall off the bone tender. :drool1:
  13. Cool video. Wish I would have gotten the chance to ride it.
  14. Especially this one: c. Please show common courtesy to fellow Park Guests and our Cast Members by not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior.
  15. I emailed the studio recently and was able to purchase a "Fun at Fort Wilderness" print directly from them. It took a few days for Robin (David's Wife) to respond but she was able to get my shipping and credit card information and send me a print. You might want to give email a try.
  16. Totally agree. My last rv baked in the Texas sun while sitting in my driveway. The new fiver has stayed in a buidling at my house when not in use since we brought it home.
  17. Sounds like you have ruled out any issues between the switch and motor. When the slide becomes fully retracted or extended, do you hear a clicking sound from the motor? If you do, those units usually do not have a control board. If this is the case, based on your statement "I have monitored the power as I hit the switch, with everything wired normally, and the voltage drops to 0 as soon as the switch is tripped and climbs back to 12v when released." it sounds like you have a bad connection somewhere between the switch and the battery. It sounds like there is enough of a connection between
  18. Sounds like a plan. All Fiend shareholders should have a say in how in the Fort is ran.
  19. Thanks for the info. Just bought one for my son who is 9 for Christmas using the free shipping code. I went with no frame (free) to save the $34 since I'm sure i can find one at a local store alot cheaper.
  20. We're right across the street for you in 843! We don't have a sign so we are currently in stealth mode :)
  21. Another awesome report. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup2:
