For the past 2 summers and part of fall, we have stayed at a local campground. I like the feeling of being "on vacation" at the end of the day. It's so relaxing to have a campfire going to settle in and really relax. The kids come out to visit very regularly so no loss there. It's a slower, simpler life and you find that you may actually have time to read or something else you have been too busy to do otherwise. For us this is a practice run for when we want to semi-retire in Florida next year. One of the only negative things we have noticed is the weather is more of a concern in a motor

Is your castle going to be up? Would love to see it. We'll be there 12/3-12/10

Hey! I saw that cart while there in June. Surprised I didn't get a chance to put a FortFiends card on it....lol Put a lot of those out on carts in June.

I learned the hard way 2 years ago. Bad news is that doesn't stop it all the time as evidenced by my awning monday....it was closed! Ripped it open. http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/bord1niowa/100_5523.jpg http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/bord1niowa/100_5522.jpg http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/bord1niowa/100_5521.jpg It did take 110 - 130 mph winds for 25 minutes to do this.

This one is not about me...thank God, but well worth telling. My neighbor last summer at the campground told me one day he was cleaning out his black tank and forgot to turn off the water spraying inside. Well a little while later he noticed a smell and something coming out of the roof toilet vent. He went inside to look and see what was going on and stepped on the toilet flusher and....yes you guessed it...it exploded upward into his face and all over the RV bathroom. Yes, poop everywhere! He freaked out, needless to say. He had his wife turn off the sprayer inside the tank and then pro

Does LeLynn RV have a website? I couldn't find it in 8 pages of Google, only their addy and phone plus some info. I was looking for seasonal and monthly rates.

Maybe I should ask the guy spraying down the sites... I'm sure he knows!:rofl2:

I'm not even going to try to figure that one out.:rofl2:

It looks like they only redid 2 or 3 sites. The rest still have the same cracks in them.

Bad news guys and gals. Spoke with a couple of the demolition crew working the loop and they said nothing in size etc will be changed. They are only tearing out the old concrete and putting in new exactly the same. They said demolition should take about 1 week or so and then the crew will come in to level again with dirt. Then the concrete crew will be pouring. I asked if they had an ETA but he said he didn't know for sure. I then mentioned soeone wanted to stay there in about 3 weeks and he said it SHOULD be done. Of course a lot can change due to weather.

We're in the 200 loop and if they get done in the next week and a half, I'll post it. They will be pouring new pads. Haven't started yet though.

Just got back from the pool. They came around and check resort IDs at about 10:15 and gave us a wristband for there. Today's is a American Flag band, don't know if it will be different every day. So I guess it is real. You can turn off the BS meters now.:usa:

You gotta remember that a lot of the previous batch of FEMA trailers were never even used and are being sold on ebay for 3000 - 5000. What a waste of taxpayer's money. Yes they are basic and are park models but they sure are cheap.

Just thought I would throw this out there as misinformation was given out in another place who's name will not be mentioned. I faxed my site request in about 10 days early and I got a call saying the 100 loop will be closed for re-pouring the pads on June 4th. They asked what my next choices would be, so I chose and they said they would get me something I requested. In that other area, a possible CM said they do not look at requests as they are too busy. Obviously, they do and try to accommodate you. They actually took the time to call me. Just another reason why The Fortfiends.net site

We are not taking our motorhome to the Fort. It would cost $1400 just in gas, then we would have to rent a car while there for 2 weeks. Cheaper for us to rent the trailer then have our small car for local driving and a thousand dollars less in gas. The trailer isn't costing us that much, no where near. For shorter length trips we are renting rather than driving the motorhome.

We are usually there for Star Wars, just take it all in, the kids will love it and so will you. We went to The flower festival last year. It was pretty cool with all the character designs topiaries. I took pictures of all of them.

I love that show too. I have been educated on some things for ebay. I would never have bought an old 7 up cooler for $35 till seeing that show...boy, am I glad I did....:rofl2:

Love the report! Hope I don't have to wait till monday for the next installment. I feel like at the end of each installment I hear "same bat time...same bat station!" hahahaha. Just wondering TCD...with all the backwoods places you manage to get into, have you ever run across some of the more dangerous creatures famous in Florida?

When we go in June I will do some Skyping with the computer and if anyone wants to see what's going on, just let me know what your skype name is and I can add it to the group for it. I'll just turn it on when we do something, like looping.....lol. Next best thing to being there...hahaha

We'll be coming in on Dec 2nd at about 8:30 at night. I'll have to make a run over to the fort to meet the INFAMOUS Doodlebug. I'll find out where you are and stop by.

I know it's not the fort but we are using DVC points and don't have to drive the moho for 8 days. we will however be checking out the Fort for decorations and other fiends. 1st week of dec anyone?

Don't forget to look for us up front in the premium loops. June 4 - 17. Purple flamingos and the sign will take you right to us. lol

When you gotta go...ANY bathroom is the best bathroom. :grpwelcome:

All I can find is that one of the people needs to have the premium, which I do and you can add two or more. Doesn't say if there is a limit or not. hmmm May have to get several of my kids together on it at once and try it. We have done 4 at once already but maybe I can get 10 or so. Any volunteers?

Just don't do it in front of the camera... :rofl2:
