We only have one trip planned so far this year.  Lots going on son graduating from HS, son turning 18, son going away to college.......

We are going to Knoebels in July for our 2nd annual summer beerfest.  It's just a bunch of friends camping and hanging out.  The only rule is bring a beer that is unusual so everyone can try it and have fun.

When I responded to your post i guess i missed seeing Hickory Run SP --- that is such a beautiful area!  The boulder field is just breathtaking....have you done bushkill falls?  or travelled to eckleys miner village and centraila (sp)?  my dh favorite daytrip from around that area was pottstown and the yuengling tour!

I have not been to the falls, but have been to Eckleys and Centralia.  The group has not been to those places though.  Feel free to join us on the trip to Hickory Run.  We are going April 20th weekend.:)

We spent a week at Daisey State Park the week before Thanksgiving a couple of years ago and loved it.

We spent St. Patrick's Day weekend in Hells Canyon on the Oregon-Idaho border. Memorial Day weekend, we'll be at Bruneau Dunes State Park (supposed to be home of the largest natural sand dunes in the U.S.).

We also have a week planned at Farragut State Park near Couer d'Alene (former WWII base, I think or near one). Fourth of July weekend will be in the Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley (can't remember the name of the campground). DW and I have talked about a spur of the moment (no reservations) trip to one of the campgrounds in eastern Oregon. (We've talked about Unity Lake.)

We still need to plan for Labor Day, and I'd like to get in at least one August trip, another September trip (perhaps around our anniversary mid-month), and maybe an October trip. We'll see.

In the meantime, I'd be interested to know about other good Idaho and eastern Oregon locations (perhaps northern Utah as well) that you'd care to share. Thanks.

Tracy,
        We enjoyed the pics of your camping trip. Any trouble towing out?

One of the scheduled trips we have is the rally, looking forward to it.

 I want to thank you for connecting me back up with a campground I went to for many years. I saw Pine Haven, NH on your list. We used to always go there before the PU. But when I got the PU I didn't like the choice of w/e campgrounds on the top of the campground mixed with seasonals and open sites. They have some beautiful sites on the water at the bottom of the hill. None with hook ups when I checked a couple of years ago. I kind of had forgotten them until I saw your list. Some of the good ones now have 30 amp w/e. I spoke with someone at the campground and was told that they just did it a couple of years ago. We are looking forward to getting back there this year. Now that we have the AC I have to rethink some of the local campgrounds we use because some only have 15 amps.

How did you happen to come across them and have you camped there before?
Is there anything I can tell you about the campground or area? Given I haven't been there in a couple of years.
Thanks,
Mike
