thegooftroopfla 18 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thank you. He still has medical issues, but were hoping one big hurdle is over. Really hoping we can get rid of the wheelchair. When we were leaving Baltimore the lead surgeon on the team said you might be able to throw that wheelchair away in a couple months. Our son looked at him and said no I want to give it to a kid that can't afford one. So that's our goal in January if the doctor signs off on everything. Give it to a kid in my zone.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Your son sounds like a terrific kid. Here's hoping he's able to make that donation to another kid in need soon. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wow, I agree…..he sounds like quite a remarkable young man! I hope you get to camp for fun again soon. And, I am late to this thread - and obviously you no longer need a CG recommendation for the Baltimore area - but I have stayed at both Cherry Hill and Ramblin' Pines. (I think I posted photos of Ramblin' on the "Photos of other campgrounds" thread). Anyway - my two cents on those places is: Cherry Hill - great place to camp if visiting DC and/or Baltimore. Tight sites, but as Dave said, good amenities and it is well run. Ramblin' Pines - I will never return. Very rude staff/management, extra fees for all of the stuff they have for kids (putt putt, jumping pillow), no cable, no wifi (they say they have it but it's non-existent), and no cell coverage - it's the middle of nowhere. Roads leading into it are a nightmare with any substantial sized RV. No stores or gas for many miles. It is very beautiful countryside, and is good if you want to escape and unplug. But that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Oh, and Carol - the traffic around Cherry Hill IS really bad. Avoid going anywhere near Silver Spring if you do try it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegooftroopfla 18 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks for the recommendation. We still might use them. We have to return to Baltimore every six months for now, and the foreseeable future. So we might just actually camp there for some of these Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't like to hear of anyone being sick, but especially kids. Wishing the best for him and your family, hope he is up to 100% soon and able to do anything he wants.
