Well ,we made it back home safe from Locust Lake.
Traffic was no problem and did not take any "Detour's" ,either.
We stopped for a late Lunch, off Rt 81, at a Wendy's and ran into the Wade family!
Had a great time this weekend.
Hope everybody made it home safely.
Talk to you soon.

We made it home too.  We got home about 4 PM.  KC was very happy to get home, and she drank a  lot of water.  We had a great time on the trip.  I wish we could have had another day or two.  There just isn't enough time to visit with everyone.  You guys are great!

I got out about 3:00PM, Rick was so sweet and tried to help but I get confused with hand signals...Thanks Rick for trying...

Erica and I got the trailer hitched up, since i did not get out the stove, I had less to put away...crockpots and microwaves are wonderful things. So is Cracker Barrell!!!!

Got to Parkesburg PA without a hitch, this time there was even RV parking at the Cracker Barrell across from Cabellas, and had their campfire chicken.

When I went to SuperWalmart (to use the rest room NOT shop), at PA10 and US 30, there was a 3 car accident that had traffic tied up as they righted a flipped minivan...missed my chance, I should have gone back in and shopped.  There were ambulances and fire trucks as well as other emergency vehicles, and the road was stopped...after about a half hour holding, I proceeded home, the only complaint was the headlights in the heavier than normal on-coming traffic...but that is par for the course when it is the end of a Dover Nascar race weekend. I was only in some of that traffic for about 2 miles on I 295, so I was very lucky that most of the way, I was going in the oppisite direction.

Cannot wait to do this again, sorry I have to wait until spring (boo-hiss)

Well, we made it back alright.  Stopped at walmart on 61 and then went down to cabellas.  I must say to find a group that size and it the have so many wonderful people, people with hearts that made my family instantly feel a part of, is truely amazing.  It was great for me especially after talking with some of ya'll online to actually meet you guys.  I can't wait for next year so that we can all get together again.  My wife and kids had a great time.  I think even the "little pumpkin" as she is now know had a great time.  She slept almost the whole way home.  Boy was she tuckered out.  

Thanks again to everyone.

Ps, there to way to many good cooks there also.  I was so full Saturday night.  Well, chat with everyone again some other time.

We made it back by 6. Had no trouble. Sure is easier in the daylight. As for that "sharp" turn we remembered, there is a cut-through that most of you must have "seen".

Funny having Andy drive in at Wendy's and park right next to us...sometime after that stop we noticed our camper lights not working. Had to stop and fiddle with them to get them working again.

Can't wait to camp in a couple weeks. Will remember the pillows next time.

Was happy to see everyone again. Hoping we can meet up with you all next yr. Steph, thanks so much for the gifts. You're so sweet. Probably won't do Memorial Day, Tracy, since that's when Courtney finishes up her school yr. We'' need to go retrieve all her junk.

Will try to plan some other trips for 2006. Heard Rickett's Glen is nice. I also want to try Thousand Islands (Alexandria Bay, NY area). Anyone else have some new places on his/her wish list?

Erika and I made it home about an hour ago....

I found that Rick & I were both bummed out after everyone pulled out Sunday afternoon. We had a nice campfire last night, believe it or not but Trooper was actually calm! I was trying to figure out who replaced my dog with a clone when I wasn't looking.

Thanks to everyone for another fantastic COTOC outing...

I had that happen when we stayed a day longer on another trip.:(  Now I leave when the group does.:)

Hey all!
 
We made it home roughly about 5:30. We were off the campsite by 1:30 due to downpours. I did a really massive tank rinsing at the dump station because I wasn't sure if this was the campers last use for the season. We stopped for gas and Wendy's somewhere in PA off 81 and then trucked home. I left the camper in the yard instead of it's little spot in the back so I could pop up (errr - out) tomorrow and let everything dry...
 
I want to thank everyone for a great time. It was awesome to see old friends and make new ones! :D I think our next trip will be to Pine Grove KOA in Feb - March if anyone's interested.
 
PS - I flagged down the evening shift Park Ranger and had a nice talk with him about the parking situation...  The case is closed at this time.  :eyecrazy:
 
Thanks again!! Rick, Steph, Amy, Adam, Sabrina, and Boomer.
