Helmsey......Todd

Get the red bubble wrap and can you go for this look:

Thanks for posting your thoughts on this place. If we can make it that far I'll give it a shot for an overnight stop, but I'm not sure we can make it that far in one day. That would be 600 miles for us the 1st day and I just don't think that would make for a good day in the truck with 2 little ones. But I will drive as long as they are happy

THANK YOU!!! These are much appreciated!

I enjoy seeing the attire people were wearing to visit. It's like they actually took pride in what they wore and how they looked to go out for a special occasion.

I'd do the Firechaser first

Wouldn't that be fantastic? Just having several months to come and go as you please and take it all in at your own pace...

We love PBS, it stays on at our house most of the day for the girls. I am fine with them watching Curious George and other shows like that right now. We watch the Disney Channel on Saturday mornings when they are playing Disney Junior cartoons, but that is the only time they see that channel.

You wont have anything to worry about, diesel availability is normal. Here in East Tennessee we are seeing a bit of a shortage at smaller stations. The larger places around here are doing just fine, even after all the silly people ran out and filled up everything that would hold gas. Prices are up just under a dime\gallon here but I expect that to fall quicker than normal once all the hysteria calms down.

Had a lot to catch up on but wanted to say your pictures are fantastic as always!

Good to know, thanks for the update. We will be sure and pack plenty of our own for the trip in Oct. Our youngest daughter is a mosquito magnet (more so than me) and at any given time can have 15 - 20 bites on her if we don't keep some sort of repellent on her. I'm ready for it to cool off so those silly things will start to die off.

I hope you end up staying at this KOA, I'm really curious to get your thoughts on it. If all the stars line up and things go well next month I'd like to make it that far the first day of our drive.

I'll have to lookup that KOA for our trip in a few weeks. We're going to make it is far as we can the first day with Casey Jones being the loosely planned stopping point. If we can make it farther than that I'd like to keep driving for sure.

We have stayed at both and I prefer Casey Jones due to it being closer....and a shorter drive the 2nd day. Not sure if it makes a difference to you but there is more "stuff" at the Eagles Roost exit... There are a few food options if you decide to unhook to go get food as well as a Camping world in case you need something from them.

I'm really not sure if that's where we were or not. We got there before the office closed and that's where they escorted us to. I just looked on Google Maps and there is another section that has a bunch of pull through's farther back from the office\entrance area.

I don't have any input...just want to know what days you are planning to be there in October. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post publicly, please.

I was wondering the same thing. That could be bad for my truck if I were to park it while it is going through a exhaust cleaning cycle. The exhaust gas temps get close to 1200 degrees when that is going on so I can only imagine the aluminum from the exhaust is fairly warm as well.

In the past 2 years I had used Josh's as well but he hasn't updated them since earlier this year. He gave an explanation in the forums on his site, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. EDIT: I found the post on his forum: http://www.easywdw.com/forums/showthread.php?33926-April-2017-Crowd-Calendar&p=368377&viewfull=1#post368377 Please don't put me in timeout for posting a link to another forum.... Just poof the post if it needs to go away

Could we get an updated link for the sponsors? I clicked on a couple links listed above and I'm getting: Sorry, there is a problem The page you requested does not exist Error code: 1S160/2

Please post lots of pics :) Question - after doing the drive down in 2 nights this time, what are your thoughts on that vs 1 night?

Thanks for sharing, it looks like you guys had a blast!

In...and first page?? Great people watching photos, I'm excited to do a bit of that next month.

Don't rule out a bunkhouse until you have walked around in one, we initially didn't like them but after having one we have changed our minds. We love ours for the separation it can give us if the kids need a break from us (or us from them) They are sleeping far enough away that we can still "entertain" in the living area and not worry about waking them. And, if we have someone come spend the weekend with us it gives them their own "room" to stay in and we can put the kids on the fold out beds for that time.

Sadly it appears he might survive his accident.

Good thing you got those screen shots, his post has gone POOF on Instagram.

He'll never know. I used too much punctuation in the post for him.
