  1. I'm pretty excited about this show. I just recently started watching the Marvel movies, and to my surprise enjoyed them....wasn't expecting that. I hope this show is a good as the movie was but I guess time will tell.
  2. I've seen these pics in this thread before and after seeing your post in the other thread asking about RP I think we were there at the same time last November. We were in the pull thru's on Alexis Ln...site 123 if I remember right. If memory serves we were there November 9th - 11th. When were you guys there?
  3. Yep, that is our go to place when we need a home base for mountain fun, we were the New Years Eve and just before Thanksgiving last year. We really like the river sites in the back, it gives a nice area for people to gather and hang out. It is far enough away from the main street that you don't get any traffic noise. It is also not deep in the heart of Pigeon Forge so the traffic getting to the CG is not that bad (usually). I took some pics for someone else a while back, this is a link to them: Clicky
  4. Congrats on the new shoes, it is a nice piece of mind to have them. I ran the Maxxis on our old TT for 2 years before we got rid of it, and it was the only ST tire I would consider. I had thoughts of putting them on our 5er when I replaced the tires earlier this year but opted for LT tires instead.
  5. I would think that tongue weight could be playing a part in the bouncing you are getting. To know for sure if you have proper weight distribution you will need to head back to the scales all loaded up and get 2 different weights; first will be with the trailer hooked up without weight distribution bars, and then you will need just the yukons weight With those 2 weights you will be able to tell how much your tongue weight is by taking the gross vehicle weight of the yukon from the first weigh and subtract the gross vehicle weight of just the yukon. If I remember correctly that will give you the
  6. I will do more for sure, just wish I could do a Fort TR sooner than later. Until then, I'll just have to post our other travels\adventures here.
  7. Here is the recipe for that casserole: Breakfast casserole in the crock pot: Ingredients: 1 bag 26 oz. frozen hash browns12 eggs1 cup milk1 tablespoon ground mustard1 16 oz. roll sausagemaple, sage or regular sausage.Salt and pepper16 oz. bag shredded cheddar cheese Directions: Spray crock pot and evenly spread hash browns at the bottom (or use crock pot liner) Crack 12 eggs in a large bowl, mix well (and slowly) using a whisk. Add the milk. Go ahead and sprinkle in the ground mustard Add plenty of salt.......and lots of fresh pepper. Mix well and set aside. Cook the sausage on high heat, d
  8. The casserole was fantastic, and even better in the tortilla shells in the picture, with some Texas Pete on them :) If we end up making the trip to DC this year, we will be sure to keep our distance from your camper. Don't want to cause any more financial strain on you :rofl2:
  9. I think I have DW talked in to the defeated creek GG.... I checked today and there are sites near the fiends...this just might happen :) We had a blast! Thank you :) I think we need to have some sort of fiendly wager, to be settled October 5th... There is rarely a trip where there isn't a mason jar or 3 around, depends on the flavors requested that weekend. I actually chuckled to myself that weekend as I was drinking some "apple pie" wondering if that would tickle Lou's fancy. She is a ham!
  10. I do an annual check usually around the beginning of our camping season that includes bearings, brake check/adjust, and other preventative maintenance. I try to keep the running gear in tip top shape for the safety of my family and the other families on the road. I am also that guy in the campground that checks air pressure in the tires and has his torque wrench out checking lug nuts before hitting the road.
  11. Ok, lets go ahead and finish this TR off... All but one other couple had to leave this morning (Sunday) to head back to the real world, but we had one more day. Sisters make cute pictures It was an easy breakfast kind of day. I whipped up some biscuits, gravy, and bacon. Camping friends stopped by before going to the playground DD1 and I doing a little swinging at the playground. She was upset they didn’t have any swings that she could get in by herself but this seemed to be ok for her. Dd1 reading again A little more camper time visiting other camping friends 2 babies 1 st
  12. I am trying to figure out a way to make that GG, I just checked and there is a site or two open right around the other folks that will be there... The problem is we have a long weekend planned for the following weekend already. Not sure that we can pull off a trip 2 weekends in a row. We haven't been to CMSP in the fall to see the colors but I can see that being nice there. The last time we were there was in December of 2009. We woke up on Saturday morning to 3" of snow on the ground, that was unexpected, but it was nice!
  13. I am pretty fond of the little ones :) I hope to do it sooner than later. I am working on DW to see about changing our Memorial Day weekend plans for next year since the GG is in our backyard. I enjoyed the food, it was good. I think you need to get your eyes checked, that cake is a piece of art :D Protest noted, you may proceed. I was bummed about it as well, but kiddie time at the pool won between the two. It is one of our favorite CG's, it is close and $25 per night. And thanks for understanding how fantastic the cake is. Thank you! I honestly don't know why they call it
  14. Ok, lets move on to Saturday and start with some breakfast. One of the camping friends whipped up a breakfast casserole and it was fantastic. I did not think to get any pictures until it had a nice dent put in it, buy you can see it here. Add in a side of bacon and you officially have breakfast Shortly after breakfast DD2 decided it was nap time. She found her favorite place to lay and sacked out for a while Of course DD1 is hamming it up (it's what she does) After riding her "truck" it is time for a little light reading We had to sit for a bit to digest the breakfast. It wa
  15. Ok, you are excused Hmm, not sure if I should disappoint you now or later about the kayak, I think I'll wait. It is handy to keep camping friends, we rarely camp alone. We have 9 couples that usually camp together so we always have someone to hang out with. Thanks! You should see DD2 in this next update, coming up in just a minute or two.
  16. Thanks! I should have an update tomorrow morning :) Thanks sir! If you find cucumber mountain let me know :rofl2: Cumberland Mountain State Park is near Crossville, TN. Just a few minute off the interstate so easy in and out. Will have to wait until the AM Welcome! Thank you! Thanks! It turned out to be a pretty good site. We normally won't book a site without seeing it but took a chance with this one and it worked out. Yep. I actually have this entire trip report typed up, so all I have to do is paste in the info for the next day :) This will
  17. As the title states, we took a trip to Cumberland Mountain State Park this weekend. I decided I was going to document a little more of our trip with pictures with hopes of having enough to do a TR here. This is my first attempt at a TR so please be gentle :rofl3: Start things off Friday morning, I had to work a half day. So, this left Julie at home with DD1 and DD2 trying to get thing finished up before we left. Luckily my mother (who keeps our girls) offered to stop by the house for a bit in the morning and watch the girls so Julie could get stuff done. Once I got to the house, I lugged a
  18. Sadly half my battle is getting DW to not be so excited about us parting ways with our money for this. She can't wait for the girls to be old enough to take them in there.
  19. As a father of 2 girls (too young to do this right now) I think I'll have to end up getting all too familiar with this boutique and their ways of taking my money.
  20. I checked out a couple posts of his on RV.net today. Is it normal to get out of breath when reading his posts?
  21. Thanks all!! I will let her know, but unless you have a couple of the cutest grand kids for her I'm not sure how that will work out for you :) Besides, she has to start something like this for our beach trip in 2016. Oh, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only planning fool that starts thinking about trips a couple years before we do them.
  22. Mother in law came by the house today to see our 2 daughters and brought them a gift. She knows how excited we are about our planned trip to Disney and the Fort in 2015 so she made this for the girls. She was even nice enough to throw a couple bills in there for them :partythree:
