Helmsey......Todd

Thanks... I was wondering (if you had done it) how it had turned out.  I am trying to do this, on a desk for our daughter... but learned that stencils will not work (the lines are not clean enough).  I guess vinyl is the only way to go.

Find a local sign shop and take them a picture of what you want. I bet they'd be able to assist with making this happen.

Great post to see at lunch time, I think I'll go find a slice of pizza. Sadly it will not be at Pizzafari.

Exactly how much moonshine had you enjoyed before you wandered over to the Lodge and thought you were connecting to Fort wifi?    

Ha, none at that point. 

That Wi-Fi network was available that day for a few hours but never did actually function. Made me wonder if they were testing the signal range on it. Never saw it again after the 2nd.

I meant to post this earlier but had forgotten about this thread....

This was taken November 2nd in the 1300 loop. There were some folks out in one of the empty sites that had some equipment hooked up.....

I was able to connect but was not able to get any network addresses so it did not function. Grabbed this screen shot before I "forgot" the network.

I think Wild Bear Falls is part of the Westgate resorts.  That's a timeshare that I've not heard good things about...and they are very aggressive with the sales tactics.  

 

If you want to visit an indoor water park in the Smokies I'd suggest you look into Wilderness At The Smokies.

^^^ What he said. :)

Thanks to everyone that liked the tombstones, hopefully we will be there next year with even more (ran out of time this year). <br /><br />Someone was selling the lights in the 500 loop. They are very cool looking I haven't seen any of the less expensive ones working, the ones the were selling were 75.00 each and looked like it might take a few to get a good spread. <br /><br />Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk<br /><br />

Wow, I saw them selling them but didn't stop to see how much. That's pretty spendy!

Last time we had a camper tire blowout after putting the spare on we made it about 20 miles before the next one blew out.

I kept waiting for it.....somehow it never happened. I bet I spent as much time looking in the side mirror at the tires on that side as I did looking at the road in front of me. 

We were just north of Atlanta when my TPMS starting screaming and a couple cars pulled next to us pointing back at the camper.

I got off the interstate at the next exit and just my luck it was almost all residential....and the road I turned on was a dead end with no turn around. I got the tire changed in no time but the spare needed a little air. I carry a compressor and an extension cord in the truck but since I was on a dead end street and all the houses around me were gated I couldn't find anywhere to plug it in. I used my fancy phone to find the nearest Walmart a few miles away and limped there, only to find they didn't have a tire shop at that Walmart and no place to plug in my compressor. 

I did luck into finding an NTB tire store right up the road and they let me use their compressor to put the last 10PSI of air in the spare. After a small setback we were back on the road and headed the rest of the way home. The rest of the ride was uneventful but I was worried about the other tire on that side of the camper. I was worried it was going to let go soon since it carried the weight of that side of the camper for a few miles. 

We rode Friday morning and it was completely decorated and the script was different from earlier in the week.

This sums up our week before, some of the week down there, and the ride back:

Sorry we didn't get to socialize, it just wasn't in the cards this trip.

Also sorry to hear about the sick kiddo's and pups, hope they are all better soon!

We're here and setup at 1328!

Now to get a cart, cruise to the MK and upgrade to AP's!

Man I am excited to get down to the Fort and see these in person!

We'll be on the road with ya!  Hope to pull out at 10a with plans to stop overnight at the Cracker Barrel in Gainesville :)

 

I'm not 85% of the way packed though.. more like 60% 

That's about our time frame for coming through your neck of the woods, but we won't make it that far south. We are stopping at exit 5 on I-75 for the night, assuming all goes well and the kiddos will sit in the truck that long :)

We are about 85% packed in the camper. Just need to move kid's seats to the truck and hook up some entertainment stuff for them before departing Wednesday morning!

 

 

We'll bring some Cheese/Shrimp balls and Doodle's punch.

 

 

Forgot to add - I might have an addition for Doodle's punch if you'd like

YES WE DO!!

Well, folks, I know I haven't been very talkative on this thread, because there has been a looming chance we would have to cancel completely. We have been holding out hope that we could still make the two-week trip.......

 

However........Rick has had some health issues that have really been keeping him down, with a couple of hospital stays and numerous tests. He now has some tests next week that can not be delayed, and depending on those tests, will probably have more tests the following week.

 

So now our arrival plans are to come only for the Halloween weekend. We will get in as early as possible on the 30th, and leave on the 2nd.

 

We'll bring some Cheese/Shrimp balls and Doodle's punch.

 

(We also got some major news on huge cuts for next years medical plans, so we're both going to be stuffing in as much medical "stuff" for the rest of this year as we can). 

Sorry to hear that, Carol...stinks you have to cut it short.

Hope Rick can get to feeling better sooner than later!

None shall pass.....

Some sort of ramp for the pontoon boat?

Lol some guy from TN. They are all crazy there.

HEY! I resemble that remark :D

Changed my flight yesterday. Will not land around 10 am vs 9:30 pm in three weeks. Woohoo!!

That sounds much better!

I got an email today from Disney Destinations that says there's going to be a passholder preview of the Osborne Lights:

 

 

TCD

Interesting. I wonder if this would be available to us if we were to upgrade to AP's when we get down there....

Haha.. you bet, bring that baby over to our site :)

Woo-hoo! A playmate for our little one. They can stand around doing the hot dog dance all night.

I've got a 2 year old too. Terrible 2's party lol

Terrible 2's party at Nacole's site!!! What time should we drop them off? :D

We got our Nov 1st tickets last week, glad I went ahead and ordered them!

I guess we will have to make the best of it, sounds like we will be lumped in with the folks that wont get to experience the best part of the party. With 2 little ones we will have to do what we can, while we can, before we have to bail for bedtime.
