I have to get Bob going and make a reservation for this GG.  Can I get help from everyone to get on Bob's butt to make a ressie.

First person to say "hope it doesn't bite you in the ass" no coffee for you.

Every night about 10 or so it's Coffee Talk at the Pollock's camp site.  If you don't drink coffee that's ok you are still welcome, you can BYOB if you want.  Just make sure you bring a chair sit your butt down and put your feet up and join in.

Is anyone out there as excited as me about our upcoming trip to the Fort? I have started loading the trailer and I never do that a week before we leave. I think we are leaving on Friday, going to make a stop on the way down for a quick visit, then on to the Fort. Can't wait.

I will be there and I have been following Lane daily. I will try to get something together during the GG.

OK, this is what a TR from me looks like, not a lot of writing not a lot of pictures but a TR none the less
this is Peanut, this was her first trip to WDW,hence the name of the report

We left home it was a nice day, the tropical storm Debbie was churning in the gulf and we were heading towards the gulf, not too smart, huh?
We packed up the camper, golf cart and grand kids and off we went down I65 into Alabama where we met up with Carol and Rick to pick up some goods for the raffle, nice short meet and off we go. All went well and we stopped for the night at Pecan Point campground just south of Dothan Alabama where we've stayed before. We go through Alabama via I65 to Montgomery, 231 to I10, then to I75, a route some don't like but we do.
Ozark Al has a campground that is half way for us but if the kids don't have a come apart we try to make it to Pecan Point about an hour down the road (less driving the next day). We usually don't make it that far with the kids, they usually are ready to stop by the time we hit Ozark but not so bad this time (key word: this time).
We settled in at Pecan Point and who should pull into the site but........wait for it........Rita and her Momma aka Oldkoot! We had a nice visit, the kids drew Rita and Oldkoot some pictures and did what fiends do best, shot the bull.
Well the good times end there, in the morning it didn't look too bad, cloudy with a little sun but mean looking clouds in the distance. We got going and rain into some rain about a mile or so down the road but not too bad. We hit the state line then on to I10 and it was raining a little harder but not too awfully bad, did I say awfully bad, well I lied, it was awfully bad. Little did I know it could get worse, we hit I75 and it was up from awful to terrible! I was pouring and the wind was blowing us all over the road. Trucks passing would spray so bad that you couldn't see anything until they got well ahead, by now we were traveling at a max speed of 55 and holding on for dear life at that.
We got down to the Gainsville area and I had had it, we were lucky to be going 50 MPH by then and the kids were getting tired of sitting, although they had no clue as to what Kathy and I were going through trying to drive and navigate. I told Kathy to call Grand Lakes RV resort in north Ocala for a spot, we had stayed there a few yrs ago and Doodle had stayed there the night before so we knew it was easy to get there and Doodle said it was only $22.50 a night. We pulled into the campground and got a nice pull through spot across from the CS and I got out in the pouring rain and hooked up and in we ran.
It continued to rain, no it continued to POUR the entire evening, Ty and I deceided to go across the road to the CS to the shower, we striped down to shorts and flip flops and run over. We ran over and the water was at least a foot deep on the short walkway leading into the door, guess what flipflops do when you run through a foot of water.......my back was soaked! Oh well on the way out I was a little more careful with my shiney clean body.
About 5 in the morning the sun was shining and woke me up, I was surprised and hoped it would be a good day, went back to sleep and got up at my regular crack of 9, sun still shining brightly. We got ready and off we went, the entrance to the campground is about a mile off the main road, at the main road there was a huge puddle about a foot deep so we went slowly through and on our way in the sunny sunshine, forrrrrr about a mile.
We got back onto I75 and again we were in the soup, rain and wind, not a real bad wind but with a travel trailer a little wind is a lot of wind. Onto the fort we went rain all the way, when we got on the turnpike the wind got bad and we were all over the road again so I got an idea, yeah I do get ideas once in a while. I deceided to get off the turnpike and go down RT27, maybe the lights would give me a break once in a while and the trucks wouldn't be running all over me as much. It seemed to work, it wasn't as bad. So after 750 miles, wind, rain and 40 pee stops for 3 and 7 yr old girls we made it to the fort.
We were about to check in when Doodle called or texted and Kathy says someone was trying to steal our site, again! Appearantly they were in the site across the way and didn't like the water that collects over there and deceided they were gonna just move, not with Doodle on the job they wern't! Doodle sprung into action and kicked their site stealing butts out of there! Good one Doodle!
Well we checked in and off to the site where Mike and Doodle were waiting for us. Mike guided me into the site and OUCH a damn honey bee stung me on the thumb. I hadn't been stung by a bee since I was a kid, it stung a bit! No real sympathy from anyone there so I soldiered on and set up the trailer.



that is about all the pictures we have for the fort believe it or not, next if I can will be Peanuts first MK experiance.
Sorry, I didn't know I was on Kathys SN when I finally got this done, be asured it will have all the misspellings and poor grammer you are used to.

I think if I can do funnel cakes then Tonga Toast will be just as easy. Maybe I should get out the ole bread machine and make sourdough bread for starters. It would give me an excuse to use the darn thing.

Update from TnBob and the Mrs. We have changed our check in date to Oct 25th instead of the 26th.
