RE: Help! I think I have Pop-up Fever!

 I think I have pop-up fever.
 
 I get up in the morning, and think of some place we have been camping.  There are lots to choose from:
 
 * How about that desert campground in Arizona, where the air was so clear we really could see for hundreds of miles.  We were there on July 4, and could see three fireworks shows at the same time...
 
 * Or maybe that site in the New Hampshire woods where we could hear the river from inside our pop-up.  By my definition, the perfect campsite.
 
 * How about the place on Grand Isle, Nebraska, that was surrounded by corn fields.  All we could see was corn.
 
 * Or the sand dunes at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.  Climbing a 150 foot high sand dune is tiring.
 
 * Or the aroma of fir trees that were up against our pop-up at Crater Lake NP.  To think, the snow pack there gets over ten feet thick.  The road is susally closed until June.
 
 * Then there were the bears in Smoky Mt. National Park.
 
 When I finally drag myself out of bed, and look out the back window, there is the Taj MaHaul in the back yard, covered with snow and ice, looking so...abandoned.
 
 I check the board as soon as I can, then again at lunch break, and sometimes as soon as I get home from work.  Oh, and once again just before bed, just in case.
 
 I think about places we might like to go, and imagine returning to places we ve been before.
 
 * We ve never been to Baxter SP in Maine.
 
 * The only places we ve camped on Pennsylvania are right near Gettysburg.  There s a lot more state than that!
 
 * Some of the kids have seen glimpses of Shenandoah, but we ve never camped there. (PJay and I honeymooned there...maybe we don t want to bring the kids...)
 
 * We ve heard enough about the lakes in Minnesota that we re kind of anxious to get out there.
 
 Oh, yes...
 
 So I think I have pop-up fever.  I think the only cure is to go camping.  But sadly, we have big enough plans right now that we are kind of skittish about planning a vacation.  That only makes it worse.
 
 Can someone help me, please?

 AustinBostonI have the same fever. I lay awake thinking about camping and listening to the night sounds. Now I just lay awake and worry about all the little critters that might be having a hayday in the camper. I used moth balls and dryer sheets and hope that they work. My DH said he saw little prints in the snow under the camper so I just have to keep my fingers crossed.
 It seems like sooooo long ago that we were camping. I miss it. (Sigh)

 AustinBostonoooooooo a MYSTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!![:D]

 AustinBostonI wouldn t say I have the fever.  But I did put the camper up today.  Just wanted to see how it was doing, and if it missed me or not. It was great. It was good just to take a cup of coffee out and set in it. Now doesn t that sound stupid!
 Actually I was measuring for a mod I m in process of. Not telling what it is though. But it s a biggy!

cooncreekers

 AustinBostonI must have it too.  I had to sign up today!  I couldn t take it any more.  Not all that much activity on the board yet though.  Oh well, Spring will be here soon enough.

 AustinBostonI had a chance to get innoculated for the fever but decided against it.  The cure would definetely be worse than the disease.  Thankfully, spring will soon be here(sooner here than in other places) and I guess I ll just have to wait it out.  I ll take two aspirin and call ya all in the morning.

 AustinBostonI have the same problem. I know i need to open up the camper to do some work on it.  As in replacing the sides of the roof i didn t do last year. But every time i plan on doing it. The National Weather Service decides to issue a winter strom watch. And sense i don t have a garage to work in .Alas you all know my problem.  I am dieing to get this thing fixed so we can go out this march. I know thats not close but time does fly by. I am just going nuts.
