GOBA Mom Lynn 18 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Totally lovin' the trip report!The only time we've stayed at the Fort, we had the last site in 1500: next to the road at the exit of the loop. We liked it! The road noise was not so bad, it's a few feet further from the road than 1501, and the road is a few feet higher than the site, too. We liked that you can head to the bus stop from your site when you see the bus coming up the road from the 1600 bus stop...then yell to the slowpokes in your group to hurry up!Can't wait to see what trouble Yuri got himself into this time. :popcorn: He's such a naughty boy....The signs on the shelter just say "this area" so maybe they intend them to be for the whole pool area? We can only hope so My guess for the repair tape is $21.99. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kampfirekim 260 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 What a treat! I've only been home from the Fort for a few short hours and already have several wonderful TR's to enjoy. Glad to know that the beautiful view behind 300 should remain in tact. I finally saw it for the first time on my nostalgic bike tour of the Fort which I will share later. Yes, I said it was my first time. My parents wouldn't let me wander off alone as a kid, then kids came along and they don't allow me to wander off alone either.... but H did. Great TR TCD. I know what you mean about the memories when you go back into the old River Country Entrance area... very bittersweet. Looking forward to the rest!!! :banana:BTW, H really was chicken to wake me. You could've clucked and flapped your arms till the cows came home and he still wouldn't have caved. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disneylitch......Debbie 61 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm guessing 17.99 for the tape Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HillBillyWhisperer 20 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 It's free if you have someone else buy it for you. Otherwise it's $21.95. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keylime359 2 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I want a showcase showdown! Next one at the Fort needs to post random pictures for a showcase. That would be fun! TCD look what you started! Fun for the whole family :banana: Congrats to Ed on your hat, sticker and starlight mints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 We have some housekeeping to do here before moving on.Since TCD trip reports are interactive, I have some comments to respond to before we move this thing along.Don't worry, it won't take long.And we are in no rush on this one.Right, S70?So let's see:That is too funny!!! I will be glued to the TR, waiting for the speedo pics! I'm sure that you looked like his twin.The only way I would be mistaken for Mark Spitz' twin would be if you drank a bunch of that Wacky Punch you had at the shuffleboard court at the campground you visited in Crystal River. Even then, I still think it would have to be dark, and you would have to squint.Even then, probably not.amazing how much you miss just by putting the computer down for a little bit.... durn trailer hitching!You had better watch yourself, or you are going to get on my list.First you beg for a trip report, and then you go off and don't pay attention.Let's get with it!With my record of dropping things, I don't know how I didn't manage to give Mr. Bass a nasty faceplant!I couldn't agree more! I got to meet KFK and Hurston briefly while looping on that Saturday morning. Just a super nice family and really enjoyed talking to both of them!Wait a sec.Didn't you notice how I left out the coffee incident in this trip report?I was trying to cut you a break.And, you are right about KFK and H.Too bad you didn't meet TnBob.Next time for sure.If they were nowhere to be seen, I think that moving their crap to the ground under a tree would drive the point home. Yeah.I say that too.But, I don't think I would ever really do it.BTW- I have a story coming up of an incident that happened at the pool on the 4th which relates to this issue.We will get to that at some point.I heard those winds can be pretty strong in Florida during the summer. Anything not secured down can just fly away. One should be more careful with their belongings. Please see my comments to VCL, above.Totally lovin' the trip report!The only time we've stayed at the Fort, we had the last site in 1500: next to the road at the exit of the loop. We liked it! The road noise was not so bad, it's a few feet further from the road than 1501, and the road is a few feet higher than the site, too. We liked that you can head to the bus stop from your site when you see the bus coming up the road from the 1600 bus stop...then yell to the slowpokes in your group to hurry up!Can't wait to see what trouble Yuri got himself into this time. :popcorn: He's such a naughty boy....The signs on the shelter just say "this area" so maybe they intend them to be for the whole pool area? We can only hope so You are talking about site 1520. I haven't been assigned that one. Yet. But I agree with you, it would be a fine site. And, clearly a bit more private than 1501.If they wanted to drive the message home that the whole pool area is reserved for Fort guests, they ought to put those signs up on the entries to the pool area, not just on the pavilion.And, keep reading along.We will be getting to the Yuri part soon.What a treat! I've only been home from the Fort for a few short hours and already have several wonderful TR's to enjoy. Glad to know that the beautiful view behind 300 should remain in tact. I finally saw it for the first time on my nostalgic bike tour of the Fort which I will share later. Yes, I said it was my first time. My parents wouldn't let me wander off alone as a kid, then kids came along and they don't allow me to wander off alone either.... but H did. Great TR TCD.

You could've clucked and flapped your arms till the cows came home and he still wouldn't have caved. :rofl2:I'm glad that you finally got out to the area behind the 300 loop.Did you see any signs of your favorite cowboy?I have no doubt that Hurston would not cave. He seems like a pretty smart fellow.If I wasnt busy catching up on the report - I would have had time for my guess - bummer - thats what I get for not checking in every day. Lesson learned.Yes.Lesson learned.But, I don't think there will be another contest in this trip report.There will, however, be some important information that you don't want to miss.Remember, I uncovered a huge conspiracy involving the golf cart parade winner.And, I spotted a celebrity in the parade.And those two stories (the conspiracy and the celebrity) are related.Can you handle the truth?TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
