2004 Pine Grove KOA Trip April 23-25

[andym86]

I don't think they double up on discounts.

I still have not received the information from the campground.  I will call tomorrow.  Yesterday and today were to hectic.

Hi Tracy
Called them today and asked  about the map and what sites we're on.
The site# are I 30 and I 36,supposedly next to each other.She will send me a map but pointed out to me that it will be difficult to identify the sites on the map and will mark them for me.
I guess it's going to be the same map thats available online.
I spoke to Diane and she did not know anything about the group/COTOC.
I don't know who your contact person is over there.
If you need us to make it 10 ,no problem,will get the 10% one way or the other and they don't do the discounts until you check in.
Heck we're going camping,discount or not.
Andy

PS I wonder how far this place is,maybe on of us could check this place out and square everything away,as long as we have commitments from our group to show up and get the minimum required.

Well, I finally got my long awaited mailer from Twin Grove KOA today. Must say that after what it took to get them to send it too me I was a little dissapointed.
 
All I really got was a Glossy flyer with all the basic info that already appears on their website. Sounds like what HerseyGirl got. I had specifically requested Group pricing and Group reservation info but got nothing. :confused: I thought I was pretty clear.
 
I think Tracy was told a lot more and I know she is planning on calling. Like always Team Leader Tracy has a handle on it and we ALL appreciate it.
 
Don't want to confuse these KOA folks by me calling too. Tracy, if you can get them to tell you what sites they set aside for us I'll go ahead and reserve.
 
I'll be leaving for Texas this weekend (work) and I know I'll be gone at least a week, maybe longer. Won't have internet access. Kinda wanted to get reservations in before I leave.
 
I'm sure all the confusion will settle out real soon and we all can reserve, invite more friends and anxiously wait for Spring and the first Happy outing.
 
*** TRACY ---- PLEASE let me know what I can do to help out.  If I didn't have to go to Texas I would just drive down there and get on them.  Whoops.....play nice now.

Andy,
 
I took a look at the map and I 30 & I 36 ARE side by side.  The are directyy accross the road from the "play area".  Good if you got kiddies - not as good for peace & quite.  I know they Told Tracy Front or Back for grouping together.  
 
Front is up near all the activities and you site look pretty much up that way, but not all the way up front.  I think back may be back towards the cabins more.  Like the F, P, Q sections.  Hopefully Tracy can get better answers tomorrow.  
 
If I didn't have to go to Texas I would just drive down there myself.  I'm only a little over an hour away.

Thanks Dave
I asked for sites away from the "busy" area ,because I'm bringing two dogs,but I guess that did not work out,either.
Well,maybe I will take a ride out there one day.Have to see how far away it is from Harrisburg, then I could combine the outdoor show and the campground in one day.

I called the campground today and spoke to Diane.  Jamie that I spoke to before was not there and Diane could not find anything for COTOC :mad: , but there is a Hi-Lo group having a group trip and guess what.  Andy and Mike were placed in sites for that group.  The hi-lo group is not in the back near the cabins were we are supposed to be, so I think that there are 2 groups, but I wonder if Jamie may have put hi-lo for us because I told her most of us are in popups.  Diane is going to call me back tomorrow and let me know where we are after she talks to Jamie.

Dave I told her that one of our members was going to be in Texas for a week, and really wanted to make his reservation before he went.  Maybe you should call later in the day tomorrow and see if they have us set up.

I sure hope we can get this set up by tomorrow.

Andy when are you planning on going to the Sportsman's Show?  We may be going this weekend, but DS has a Boy Scout program Saturday.

Hi Tracy
Thanks for asking,I didn't realize that it started this weekend already.
I'm really not sure when I go,specially with the way the weather is suppose to be,this weekend.
Do you and you family go to that show? I know you're not hunters ,or do you like to check out the campers ,etc.?
Please let me know how you make out with Diane/Jamie so that I can change my site #.

Diane called me at home and left a message while I was at work.  I did give her my work number and told her she could call me there, but she didn't.  She said she spoke to Jamie and that she had sent the information out to me.  I still didn't get it.  At most mail would only take 2 days to get here from there.  I will wait and see if I get it tomorrow, but I am betting I will not get it until Monday.

Dave did you call an make reservations?

Andy the show starts on Sat. the 7th and runs through Sun. the 15th.  We like to go and look at the camping, fishing (DH and DS) stuff.  We are having company on Sunday, so I don't know if we will be able to go until next weekend.

Hi Tracy
Thank you.I will call them first thing in the morning and change my sites.
I might be going to the show next weekend ,too,but to be honest I'm not 100% sure.I already booked a hunt for this spring in Canada and have no real reason to be there.My friend, who  goes on the trip with me does not want to go to the show,long trip,no reason,etc and a 1000 other things that need to be done.I can't blame him.So will see.
Andy
PS Thanks for all the things you do!

[MTNDAVE]

OK, boys and girls....the shows on the road. :cool: ....
 
.... and I'M GOING CAMPING, I'M GOING CAMPING !!!!!!:J
 
Tracy deserves a really big round of applause.  She pulled it all together tonight.
 
I got home & turned on the 'puter and there was Tracy sending me an I/M.  While exchanging speculations as to the CG response she is suddenly on the phone at the same time with said CG.  
 
Ok, now it's a 3 way and then she said they had another CG person on another line too.  That makes a 4 way.  It gets better.
 
Tracy lets me know that she is making her reservation WHILE I'm exchanging notes with her on I/M --- now that's multi-tasking.
 
She say CALL NOW....so I do, right away.  I get the CG on the phone and they have to put me on hold as there is ANOTHER of our group on the line.  It was Beckie, making her reservation.  
 
All this in a matter of a few short mins.  I think I heard the CG gal's head spinning.  I think they got the message we ARE COTOC and we ARE coming to their CG soon.
 
So I figure Tracy and I are on I/M, she's on phone w/CG at same time & they have another CG person on another line and somewhere in there Tracy is contacting Beckie, maybe with a Star Trek communicator or something and Beckie is calling CG and I am calling CG.... and then ... and then .... and then.
 
WE are ALL lucky to have Tracy working for us all.
 
THANK YOU TRACY

Hi Tracy
I already booked a hunt for this spring in Canada

Andy I hope your hunt is very successful.  The venison that you gave us at Hickory Run last year was wonderful.   Thank you again!

MTNDAVE,

     Just found out on the reservations... I will be making one today. I do not look at a computers on weekends. This is because I work with them all week and I refuse to look at one on the weekends. I am still trying to go on thursday, are you?

We are ALL glad you brought this one up.  Sounds like it will be a good launch to a great year of camping.  

[whitestar505]

All,

 Have reservations for site Q54 for 22-25 April!

[tlhdoc]

Just to let everyone know, I have not received the "package" in the mail.   Not even a brochure.  I guess if there is something important in the "package" they will have to tell me about it when we get there.
