I plan on joining you, BUT how about ordering some warmer weather.  It is always cold there that time of year.  Just kidding.  I think Selina's should be the dinner spot for the "pot luck" on Saturday night.

[copcarguy]

I second the Selenas potluck idea...  

I go to NL once a month, so if everyone wants to have a summer rally or something as well let's get the ball rolling on that one!

[tlhdoc]

Rick I was looking tonight and my site for the last 2 years 176 is already booked.  What site do you think I should get?

[copcarguy]

Well Tracy, if you scroll up to the beginning of this thread, you will see who booked 176 - ME!  LOL!  

If you want to be on the same side as 176, 175 is not bad.  Or if you want a lake site, go for 177.  Then we'll just be flip-flopped from "the usual".  I took 176 to give someone else a chance to get a lake site.

[tlhdoc]

I didn't even look at that.  No I don't really want a lake site in May.  Why don't you want a like side site?

[copcarguy]

Sorry I messed things up for you Tracy...  I was just trying to be nice and let someone else in COTOC grab 177 for a change.  I didn't want to be a "site hog". LOL!  Since you want to be on that side of the road grab 175, otherwise you'll be far around the back of the loop.

Hey rick, we are interested, just need a site I can back into with the trailer.  Any suggestions?

[copcarguy]

Scott - 183 or 185 are the easiest to back into with a big trailer in Loop 6.  They might show them as a handicapped site, but anyone can reserve them.

[dademt]

Well, we are in.  Had to go with site 182 due to the length restrictions.  Hopefully it is a good one.  We will arrive Friday afternoon and leave on Sunday.  And I will bring the tarp with me.  LOL.  
 
I wonder if they will let me build a fire this time after I cracked the brand new fireplace in the last site.:yikes:   Yes, I learned off of you rick.  Well, I can't wait.

[copcarguy]

Scott - what do you mean by length restrictions?? Your trailer is too long for some sites?? 182 might be a PITA to back into... I do not think you'll have a problem with 183 or 185 length-wise since they just re-did them both last year. They are cake to back into. Here's pics of 183:

You can see that I had the hybrid (20+ feet), a space, then the van (20+ feet) and still had room to park another vehicle in front of the van on 183.
 
and here's 185:

Well I hope this helped... if not I'm sure we can get you into 182. I just remember that being a hard swing to the right backing up.

[jazman]

Well, it happened...

I've got Site 177 for three nights starting 5/4/07.

Yes, the crow tastes yummy  

Cheers,

jazman & ez

Yes, we are taking Friday off so we are there in the early afternoon...  :sombraro:

[copcarguy]

WOW I am glad you didn't give up on my place jaz!  It will be great to see you.  I am sure getting there in the daylight will be helpful.  :p

[tlhdoc]

Rick how do you like my powers of persuasion?  Get them on a camping trip with me and see what happens.

[jazman]

WOW I am glad you didn't give up on my place jaz!  It will be great to see you.  I am sure getting there in the daylight will be helpful.  :p

Seriously, Tracy was filling me in on your pop-up situation. I hope the dealer is going to make good everything.
