RE: Spring Fling at Pocahontas State Park...

[Mahaffey-Family]

You also have Maymont Park,  Hollywood cemetery,  Halocaust  , Wilton House which was Jeffrson's home,The Canal Walk is wonderful, I have always wanted to do the boats.  the Annabelle Lee was wonderful but, I just found out it set sail for Newport News today, they sold it.  Lots of shopping, eating and just about anything you would want to do.  I really miss living there as you can see.

Whitestar...Thanks for the comments on my website! Now all I gotta do is get it updated again, time to get Santa off the homepage!

 
As for temps, it should be reasonably comfortable. We held one of these camp-out's in Newport News on the same weekend last year, and temps were around 60 or so. As Louise pointed out, it could get rainy...but I've got a huge tarp that could be rigged up over the group site. I've lived in Virginia for over 25 years, and have seen it snow in April only once that I can remember. Just a week ago it was 70

JAB!!! I was wondering what happened to ya! Glad to have you on board. We'll need to start posting eveyone's reservation confirmation numbers soon so Louise (StateParkGrl) can track them for us.

See you then (I'll be arriving on Thursday also)....

Cliff, Sorry that I have not been around..

Loses have been great in my family over the last six months.

I will contact the resevations place this week to set up our site with the group. Then email Louise the number.

have a good day.. I am going to break out the snow blower today..

Hey Tim and Penny - good to hear from you again.

Looks like we will have a nice group at Pocahontas in April. I'm not sure how much of the weekend Earl and I will be able to be there. My mom's 75th birthday is Friday, April 9th - and we are busy that night with that, but should be able to join the group Saturday. The problem is that Chesterfield County has their spring break THE WEEK BEFORE Easter, not after - so we can't make it a long weekend like some are.

My condolences on your loss. Earl's father also passed away on New Years Day. We were all packed to leave for the Fair Convention in Roanoke for 4 days - and his sister called with the news (we were 30 minutes from leaving!) He was buried Sunday the 4th. Since then, we have had to spend alot of time trying the figure out where to move his mom.  (who now is without a home because she wanted to stay in the nursing home with him and Earls #@*! sister sold her house out from under her.) It's a mess - but we're dealing with it a day at a time.

Cheryl and I were trying to plan the Eastern rally - and trying REAL HARD to find a campground that would be more affordable. No one could seem to decide on a state for awhile...but it looks like the group has decided on Drummerboy Campground in Gettysburg. Nice place - but at 35.00 a night - I'm afraid we can't afford it. I guess I'm really spoiled by State Parks...

Let me know when you guys decide to get to Pocahontas after you make your reservation. Be sure to tell the reservation center that you are with the Popuptimes group - they will make a note of it on my arrivals list.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Hello All!

Whew!  Where has the time gone?  I think the last time I made my way to the boards was last October... school, opening a business, and supporting my daughters softball habit.  Glad to see all is well.

Just made our reservations (2 sites), will be arriving Friday the 9th.  Hoosya will be getting back from his deployment and we all are ready to relax in the outdoors.  Look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting the new.  

Cliff - If there is anything we can help with, let us know.

JAB - I must laugh...we live less than 5 miles apart yet we must travel to see each other.

Question for StateParkGrl...
 
Louis, curious what you think about #42 as a group site? It's easily located to and visible from the main loop, and because of the open field ajacent to the site, provides plenty of room to "stretch" should the group get large enough. Being that the field is right there for kids to play in is just another plus. Thoughts or comments?
Updated list....

Well Cliff
We have our pop-up for sale and bought a 28 ft TT. We know the park has a few pull thru's and are hoping for one due to our size now.
I did email Louise with our reservation # but will post here also.

See you in April

Well, you're more than welcome to a pull through site, but they are quite a distance from the area the group will be in. However, we'll have people on hand than can help guide you into a back-in site!!!
