Mahaffey-FamilyHi[:D],
I didn t check the website before I sent you the email. We are booked for site 11. I don t know who or how many will be in our gang for this trip. I will post later.
Mahaffey-FamilyI ll talk to DH and some friends that we have. I think we ll try to get sites 13 or 14.
Mahaffey-FamilyShirley it will be so nice to finally meet you! I hope your DH says OK.
Mahaffey-FamilyHello all!! Wish we could make this one, but we have reservations that weekend back at North-South Lake on site 171. Hope you all have fun!! [:)]
Mahaffey-FamilyRick I know you love that site, so we will miss you.[:(]
Mahaffey-FamilyAm sorry that we have to pass on this trip because I ve heard good things about Rocky Gap. It s too far for a weekend trip and our kids will have just started school that week which means a mad dash for school supplies that weekend. Hope everyone has a good time.
Diane
Mahaffey-FamilyDi I guess I am not surprised that you can t make it but I will miss you. I will see you at Hickory Run a few weeks later.
Mahaffey-FamilyWe are coming too, site 16 is where we will be. I am looking forward to another great time. We all will be here this time, 2 adults and 3 kids.[8D][8D][8D]
Mahaffey-FamilyI am glad you will make it Hershey Girl![:D]
Mahaffey-FamilyOh this trip is so far away...I barely mentioned it to the friend that is going to Harper s Ferry with me this weekend and she said that if I wanted to go, she would LOVE to go because that area is so beautiful.
I talked to Raymond, he said he WAS NOT going that far, but if I wanted to go just to have fun...
Anna and I will be on site 19, will probably take that Friday off as it is about a 5 hour drive for me (figuring Baltimore traffic) towing what seems to be mostly up hill.[8D]
Mahaffey-FamilyPaula, I knew that you couldn t resist. So glad that you are coming. We will need to have a waffle cookoff. LOL! [8D][8D][8D]
Mahaffey-FamilyWe just took a ride out to look at the sites. We wanted 18 because it has a nice path to the bath house, but it is already booked that weekend. Just signed up for site 10. Tracy, you have a nice site-trees block you from the road. Rocky Gap is exactly 60 miles from our house. If I am still working Fri. nights in the fall, I ll come in the morning and let Kershner and Suzannah have all the fun setting up. See everyone then.
Mahaffey-FamilyPaula thanks for the info on the site. I am glad it is blocked from the road. I didn t have any idea on what site just that Tim said the U ones were a little nicer.
Paula (SheBantam) I am happy you decided to come. I know it is a long drive, but you know you will have fun.
This looks like it will be a good group!
Mahaffey-FamilyWe now have 5 families attending. Anyone else? There are still sites open for this weekend. Can t wait to see everyone again and Springer02 can t wait to catch up with you all. ( 40 miles apart and still can t find time for lunch, I m sorry[:(])
Mahaffey-FamilyI may not be coming, Anna called last night and she has to work on a presentation given by someone else that same weekend (???????) and now cannot attend. She is working on her Doctorate in Chemestry at Morgan State and feels that her student collegue is not able to write and put together his own presentation in NYC that weekend.
Raymond cannot get off due to staffing shortages and a hiring freeze and Jeffrey will be in school...unless I can talk someone into taking a vacation day that Friday and coming with me, I will have to stay home as I do not think I want to travel that far, set up camp and pend the weekend alone, though I would be with the group.
We will see...
Mahaffey-FamilyPaula you can come and not set up anything but the basic stuff. You can bum meals off of the rest of us. I will be more than happy to help you after we get there.
Mahaffey-FamilyI was hoping you would say that [8D]... No, I am keeping the spot for now, I have invited a wife of a co-worker, if anyone needs to get away for a weekend it is her.
Nona home schools 4 children, one of of which is not really school age. She is was a teacher before the children...
I have to wait to see what they say, becaue I have a standard cab pick up and a manual trans, I only have room for 3 people in the cab, I told her husband that I can take Nona and one of the girls (unless they can get another vehicle to ride up in, they only have one van for the family, if she can provide her own transportation, then I can take her and the 2 girls.
thanks for the offer of help, but I can put up and take down completely, completely by myself including all the goodies. I was going to ask, IF I did come by myself, to funish some of the meals and share with someone. I hate to eat alone. But if someone comes with me, I do not mind doing all th cooking. My guess is that there is not much in the way of diners or Mc Donalds around this neck of the woods...
Mahaffey-FamilyHi All,
Was trying to get reservations but unable to get them for the long weekend. Need electric for A/C (asthma). Anyways I did get some reservations at the KOA in Hagerstown MD, Smug Harbor. If you don t mind will take a ride to Rocky Gap to see yaw all.[;)]

We are not booked for the long weekend, we are booked for the weekend after, if you did take the hour drive, you will be a week early.
There are a lot of sites in the loop on the weekend of the 5th.

Paula you are welcome to eat with us if you come alone. We will eat on the way Friday night, so it will only be Saturday AM and PM (the pot luck is at lunch time) and Sunday in the AM.

Yep, Got the dates wrong! No I am not going to wait a week for you all.... Seems like all the dates have changed lately. How about the Trapp Pond trip?
tlhdocWhitestar sorry to hear we will not be seeing you.
There is another thread about the Trapp Pond trip in the COTOC forum.
Mahaffey-FamilyWe are planning on attending. Just waiting for DH definate nod to make reservations!! We are watching our budget as October 2003 we are flying to disney world for 1 week!
We are hoping to bring along when we come some members of our club: PA Pop Uppers-Western PA Branch.
Can t wait to meet you all.
I will keep in touch as to our decision, hopefully real soon[:D]

tlhdocBeers when are you planning on Disney? We are planning on going in October too.
Mahaffey-FamilyBarbara and tracy, I have done too much traveling and will have to do more next week (am in the Library at Port Orange Florida). My oldest son had emergency surgery in Indiana last night, I am here with a 14 year old and a 79 year old woman, in a timeshare, and the 79 year old does not drive. I will be coming home Saturday and leaving back out for Indiana next week to be with Ricky.
I am cancelling the Rocky Gap trip will call the reservation system when Ig et back from Florida, so if someone wants my site, maybe we can make arrangements before I cancel. Almost immediately after I come back from Indiana, I will be at the Naval Rec area at Soloman Island MD for Labor Day and the grandkids, unless I can convice Raymond to cancel. I am tired right now and cannot imagine doing the drive to Rocky gap that soon after driving all these/those miles. Sorry, but then I will be seeing some of you at HIckory Run later next month.
I am not cancelling right now, incase someone wants my site. Please let me know if anyone does, they can give the money to Tracy who could give it to me at Hickory Run since the space is paid for already.
Paula
tlhdocPaula,
I am sorry you can t make it. Hope all goes well. I have e-mailed Cindy and Steve to see if they wanted your site. I will let you know. Maybe next time.
tlhdocMy site is now on the reservation system. I just called to cancel. Better loosing $12.00 than $56.00
tlhdocThere was a post about having a pot luck dinner on the trip. I can not find it now, so are we having a dinner Saturday night?
We should get there before dark on Friday.[:)]
