  1. I saw photos of the signage as well and thought the same thing. Disney seems to be doing the opposite of every other place that has placed the markings, from Universal, to Wal-mart, to the Lowes, to my local pizza joint. They are point out where to stand as opposed to where not to stand. Heck, they could even do it as Micky ears and make it fun.

  3. We did a Colorado trip last year, in June. The weather could not have been better the entire time we were there. A couple of campgrounds I can recommend: Clear Creek RV Park, a muni owned campground in Golden, CO. Very clean and well run, all 50amp sites, but only some with sewer. It is a great place to stay if you want to explore Denver. Though thing about this is they do not take reservations, you have to call the morning of arrival to see if there are any sites open. M Lazy C Ranch. This is a dude ranch with a full hook up campground. Our tiny trailer fit into a spot that sat up
  4. OK, going to go a bit further afield, this time to Iowa. Adventureland is a cool little park near Des Moines. I took a detour and stopped for a visit while traveling to Wyoming last June. I have been wanting to visit this park for some time so I could ride their funky looping coaster, the Dragon. I am a sucker for the strange, and sometime painful. It wasn't too bad, but what a great park. It was not at all crowded, and had some great rides. I even took in the circus. They also happen to have a campground next to the park. There were a lot of retirees in the campground, they work par
  5. I think that a Knoebels Grand Gathering is a "grand" idea. I will start a separate thread about it. While on Knoebels, how about another photo from there:
  6. One of several Midwest parks that I have not gotten to. Last year I had it on the "maybe" list while traveling out west, but I just ran out of time and had to keep moving through the Kansas City with no time to stop. I am one of the few enthusiasts that actually like boomerangs, they are fun rides, you just have to ride defensively, and some parks have converted to just lapbars, which makes for a fantastic ride. Sure, they are a dime a dozen, but a great addition to mid-sized parks. Here is the first US installation at Morey's Pier is Wildwood, NJ:
  7. You know, I typed that and didn't even realize I forgot to put that down. All fixed
  8. Yes, there are great places to have fun besides Disney! Post pictures you have taken of them here. I'll start with one of my favorite places, the Flying Turns at Knoebels:
  9. It has a pass through with tighteners that hold it in place. I took it across country last year with no issues. It is made by Swagman, and I got it on Overstock.com for $90 with free shipping.
  10. I just put the MK fireworks into our itinerary every day on the MDE app so I would know when they were if we were at the campground because they seem to change a bit.
  11. Hauling the bicycles is a little bit different on our camper because they shape is such that you cannot mount a bike rack on the bumper or a hitch on the back of the trailer. So I found a hitch rack that will attached to an extended draw bar and the bikes sit between the TV and the trailer. I actually like this a lot because I know the bikes are safe and secure there as well. The trailer has not problem turning with this setup, but I cannot add a larger tongue box or the spare tire mount there and have this work.
  12. Good info. Next year I'll bring my own and give it a try. It took about a day to get one on this trip, and besides, I would rather use my own equipment. I was thinking about it and why they don't have more units. I wonder if it is because of the way cable internet works. I noticed that it seemed very slow, even with my netbook plugged directly into the modem. With cable internet, the more modems on the line per hub, the less speed there is. They probably have a limited number of modems because if every site had a modem the internet would become pretty much unusable. Just more reason
  13. First, welcome aboard! We had a good overnight stay at the KOA in Kingsland, reasonably priced, level pull through, clean bath house, free waffles and coffee each morning. It is off of GA exit 1. Don't know about places to eat, seemed like there were plenty of choices in Kingsland off exit 3.
  14. I guess I should post on topic, our trailer is small and easily stores next the the house on the level part of the driveway. I cover it when not in use, and it is hooked into power at home so I run a little heater in it to keep it dry inside. I've had no problems, but have thought about building a car port for it.
  15. I can think of a whole lot of good reasons to move out of Jersey :rofl2:
