Hey all!
Well the nine month reservation window at www.reserveamerica.com (//%22http://www.reserveamerica.com/%22) is now open to make your reservations for the sixth annual rally to open up North Lake on May 2nd, 2008 weekend. I hope you can join us again!
People with reservations / site#
andym86 / 172
copcarguy / 171
dademt / 178
tlhdoc / 175 Friday through Monday
DiW / 176
I plan on going, but need to wait to make my reservations. I plan to go Friday through Monday.:)
My trailer is in the shop again. When I get it back I will see what site I wanted to reserve this time. I believe it was 178 but I am not sure. I might also think about 170 next to you but I don't recall checking that site out as far as room for the camper and kids. I will let you know when I book something.
Well, looks like you are stuck with us again rick. We booked 178 arriving may 2nd and leaving on Sunday as usual.
I reserved May 2nd to the 5th. Hope I can get that Friday and Monday off work.:D
I have absolutely no idea if we can make it or not - hard to plan that far ahead - but I went ahead and made reservations (site 176, next to my buddy Tracy I hope). Figure if Rick can't come to us, we'll have to go to him. Love ya Rick :D

Hey all!
I have not been online too much... Between commuting 160 miles a day and construction at home (my computer is packed away in a cardboard box lol) I just have not had the time. I wanted to check in to say hello and see what's new. I miss you all very much!
Miss you too Rick.:)
I second that.
Same here Rick
That explains why I did not get a response to my email,which was a response to your text message.Sounds complicated,lol.
Hope everything is well.We need to meet somehow,somewhere.Anybody
have any ideas?
Andy
I'm in if it means a meal and I don't have to cook :D Do you want to meet for dinner one night (or lunch one afternoon) if camping won't work out? We've missed you.
I love the onion soup at The New Orleans Steak House.:)

Hey guys I found this post scouting for sites. I have since upgrade from my 91 starcraft popup in wich I registered here for, to a 2000 flagstaff 23' TT. I looked at most of your pics on webshots copcarguy. thanks for posting them. Its helping up pick sites. Me and the wife are looking into going camping at North south lake for the second time. My wife is trying to get the day off so we can go on the 2nd.
eldasilma Im very sorry for your loss.
Hope you can join us.:)
hey anybody comeing to the wny area?
I have never camped in western NY. I don't have anything against it, just haven't been there yet. Do you have a favorite campground?:)
Quote from: eldasilmahey anybody comeing to the wny area?
We camped two years ago at Letchworth State Park. It was great. We really had a blast except that it rained non stop all week. The views are just beautiful. Would not mind going back again some day.

We camped at Letchworth several years ago. Did you see the electric cars?
Quote from: tlhdocWe camped at Letchworth several years ago. Did you see the electric cars?
No, can't say we did. To interested in the falls and then staying dry.
Wow you guys are sure busy plannning this summer's camping. We only have plans for 1 week in June up at Umbagog SP in the great north woods on NH. Can't wait. It has been a long winter. Lots happening.
Wish I could say we would go to meet you but anything can happen. Maybe we will again some day.
Hope you all have fun. Happy Birthday Tracy. Still 21 huh??? Hey-- So am I!! How about that!
Take care. Hope you are all well.
Rick - Don't forget the fire sticks :)
Jeanne and Rich
PI it is great to hear from you. I hope you get to camp more that one week. I sure hope you camp with us again some time.:D
The trip is getting close now. Can't wait to go camping at NSL!
Well, as it stand we are looking at two options for friday. Pulling the kids out at 2 so we would be up there by around 7 ( most likely miss Selena's that night ) or pulling them out sooner and maybe still missing it. Not sure yet what is going to happen but we will be at least at the campground. Are we still planning on Selenas on Saturday also or just one or the other?
Well, let me know guys as I can't wait.
Scott I plan on being there early in the morning. I am up for Salina's for both nights or just one. What ever the group wants to do. See you Friday.:D
Not looking good for us, but I haven't cancelled yet :(
Andy, sorry I haven't had time to deal with the camper - problems with my mom (I need to go to FL) and also Kelsey's back problems (ortho, xrays, bone scans -testing for fractures). I keep telling myslef if I had your camper, I could come to N/S lake on my own (maybe). I saw a 91 roanoke on ebay today and it says it's a 10' box, weighing 1500 lbs (empty). Is that right? Maybe they listed it wrong. I'm really looking for something little and light, not necessarily fancy.
Hi
Tracy and Scott and whoever else will hopefully show up;
Selena's on Friday and /or Saturday is fine ,like Tracy said,whatever the group like"s to do.We will most likely be confined to the campground/site for the weekend anyway,if we are bringing the "puppy's".
Diane, sorry to hear about your mom and Kelsey, hope everything goes well.
Don't sweat the camper ,it's here and not going anywhere soon and it doesn't eat any bread! If you are interested at all, you take a look at it when the time is right and you can take it for a trial run ,too.
Hope to see you all at North South Lake
Andy
Ooops,forgot something.
Diane,it's a 91 Roanoke and it has a 8 foot box,just measured it and it is about 6 1/2 feet wide. I could not find the sticker with the weight on it,(it's raining right now,as you probably know) ,but I remeber something about 900 lbs. I pulled that behind my old Diesel , like it was not even there.
Andy
I plan on being at the campground early Friday morning. When do the rest of you plan on getting there (I know you aren't sure yet Scott). Since I am coming by myself I am planning on bringing KC along for company. Can't wait to camp again! I am not sure, but I think this weekend I will spend my 365th night in this camper. If I am right we may need to have a camper party.:)
Nic and I talked this morning and we are going to leave around 2 so we will not be there until about 7ish. We will bring Mooch so KC will have someone to play with. Can't wait to see everyone.
WAHHHHHHH!!! I want to go too! But it is too far for a weekend trip....
I opened up and cleaned out my camper and it is all ready to go......
WAHHHHHHH!!!! I want to go too! :(
DH went and picked up the boy scout trailer last night and pulled it with our new to us 99 Explorer....he said that he didn't even know the trailer was behind him. I can't wait to tow my camper now! :D

me too me too...Raymond is leaving town Friday to Monday to spend the weekend with his daughters and grandkids...That leaves me all by my lonesone...I had thought about going south with the camper as the Navy Rec area is in the same county they all are...but naaahhhh!...
Anybody not going roughing it with Rick, for something a little closer???
I looked again, it is 238 miles, that is just too much towing a trailer for a weekend. I am looking for something closer to home...I REALLY want to go camping.
Hi everyone
There is a chance that we are not going to make it.Got a call ,on Tueday, from a friend in Germany and he arrived Wednesday ,with his wife, in NYC. We are trying to meet ,if possible,but don't know the details yet.
I figured ,I let you know now,not that you are wondering what happen to us and calling up there is not possible,since there is no cell service.
Still hope to see everybody,but we just don't know.
Andy
Well Andy, It sure wouldn't be the same without you but I understand with your friend coming in how important and rare that would be also. Either way, hope you enjoy. If you are not there I will make sure to throw a log or two on for you. Ah, lets say maybe since I like you guys so much I may throw a whole bunch of logs on. :yikes:
Doesn't look like we'll be camping, either. I'm hoping to come up on Saturday if I can get away, but really busy with stuff here. Good news is that although Kels is still having back pain, a bone scan ruled out stress fractures in her lower vertebrae (what her doctor suspected). So, she's happy she's allowed to play again :# . Sitting out hasn't been fun, but it did allow us to go camping ;) . So, she'll be playing down at TCNJ on Sunday (if it doesn't get rained out).

Andy my friend has a sister here from Australia and my friend decided that Australia is a foriegn country and she thinks the whole country is outback, so she will not let her far traveling sister in her house, after making plans before the surgery. So I am playing hostess to her tomorrow and Sunday. She has canceled most of her trip here, and will go home on Monday...My friend had brain surgery and she is not quite the same person (spent last Sunday in Baltimore with my friend)...
Well, we arrived back last night. Then Nic went and sprained her foot coming out of the camper. However, even with all the Fog, it was still a great trip. Sorry so many couldn't make it out but I definately covered putting a log or two on for everyone who couldn't make it. Ric, I melted the grate but wasn't able to melt the rails off before I put the fire out. Sorry to not live up to your standards.
Sorry we had to leave before the fire but happy your family and Tracy got to enjoy it. Nice to see you all again. My kind of camping (eating out). Our ride home was uneventful. Weather was much better as we got down the mountain. As we expected, Kelsey's soccer team got killed at Sunday's game, but it was a good day anyway. Those girls were amazingly skilled. Guess that's why they're ranked #1 in NJ. The weather was beautiful here. Hope the skies cleared up in the mountains, because I got a sunburn.
It was great that you guys got to come up. The fog only slightly broke for a couple minutes as we were hooking up the camper. Then it rolled back in and stayed in until we were part way down the mountain. After that it was sunny and nice. Still had a great time.
It was nice to see the people that made it. Rick said HI to everyone. The fog was gone Sunday PM. Clouds came in and it looked like it would rain again, but it didn't. Then the SUN came out. Beautiful evening, night and day today. We made it home without any problems.:)
