I think most of us would not consider January to be the beginnning of the camping season.  Tracy, only you are crazy enough to shovel snow to camp.

LOL you are wrong on that note.  There are several of us that do the winter camping.  So are you going to join us this year?

Hello Tracie, I put my comments behind each one.
 

I am proposing the following trips. Please post other suggestions.
 
The beginning of the camping season
January 18 to the 20th for our January trip. Where do you want to go, Pine Grove KOA/Twin Grove Park? Sounds good to me.
 
Winter Madness
February 15 to the 17th for our February trip. Where do you want to go?  Count us in hopefully.
 
March??? Easter Sunday is March 23, 2008  I think nicole is hopes to do her birthday at the same place as last year and having breakfast at shady maple again.
 
Tracy's BD Bash
April 18 to the 20th Hickory Run SP, PA for my BD trip, the alternative would be April 25 to the 27th if there is a conflict.  As long as my daughter doesn't have her dance recital that weekend, sounds good to me.
 
Roughing it with Rick
May 2 to the 4th For the opening of NS Lake campground in the Catskill Mountains of NY.  Are they taking reservations on this yet?
 
June Ricketts Glen SP, PA???  Cool, but they book up fast so we may have to move on this sooner then later.  Also, no pets.
 
July The Eastern PU Rally in the Pocono Mountains of PA
 
August Watkins Glen SP, NY???
 
The Fall Rally
September 26 to the 28th at  Of course.
 
October 10 to the 12th at
 
Sara's Trip
October 31 to November 2nd at

My (pampered) pup will be tucked away in my garage by the end of October.

Next we are planning a big 2 week trip to Seattle, WA to visit my mom.  I haven't seen her for a few years and she is having a big birthday.  I will have to let you know on a trip by trip basis.

You will have to let me know how that goes since we are planning a cross country trip in 3 years.  Eager for some info.

[tlhdoc]

Scott when will you find out the weekend of the recital?

[copcarguy]

Winter Madness to Pine Grove sounds fun again...

Tracy's BD Bash to someplace in PA sounds fun...
 
Just made reservations for North Lake May 2nd weekend, on 171...
 
July Rally in Pocono's sounds fun...
 
I would LOVE to finally go to Watkins Glen, never been there before.

Sorry Scott we won't be driving to Seattle.  If we did that no one would come back alive!  We are thinking about going into Canada while we are there since we may not get the chance to do it again for a while.  If you would like some info on WA and the west coast on Canada, I will be more than happy to give you a report when we get back.

January 18 to the 20th for our January trip. Where do you want to go, Pine Grove KOA/Twin Grove Park?    

Do not tow in the winter (or at night), could, weather permitting meet you all for dinner again, but I need to get out earlier, had a hard time getting home last have a hard time driving after dark.

Winter Madness
February 15 to the 17th for our February trip. Where do you want to go?

Again weather too iffy.

March??? Easter Sunday is March 23, 2008

Raymond would NOT be happy.


Tracy's BD Bash
April 18 to the 20th Hickory Run SP, PA for my BD trip, the alternative would be April 25 to the 27th if there is a conflict.

Now this is better, looks like I could make either weekend.

Roughing it with Rick
May 2 to the 4th For the opening of NS Lake campground in the Catskill Mountains of NY.

A little too far for a weekend.

June Ricketts Glen SP, PA???
Sounds interesting, but again, that is quite a haul for me for a weekend.

July The Eastern PU Rally in the Pocono Mountains of PA

Should be there.

August Watkins Glen SP, NY???

Oh yes!! I love this area and the park. Yes it is a haul, but it is worth it, beautiful area, free WIFI at the motel outside the park and limited cooking since it is close to town.

The Fall Rally
September 26 to the 28th at

French Creek?? Killens Pond??

October 10 to the 12th at

My BD bash weekend!!! Raymond cannot hold me back from this one. Schools in Delaware are in session Columbus day because they have teacher inservice later in the month, so hows about down this way? Actually (and I know it is far for Tracy and Rick and a few others), I like Trapps Pond and Cape Henlopen. Cape Henlopen is Dry camping and larger campers, due to the sand and getting a TV stuck (as well as the trailer) is sort of paralell parking on a wide wide street. Just stay clear of the restrooms, the fans and people walking and talking all night can be distracting if the camper needs to be open. Lums Pond is basically dry camping also, I think it has 3 electric sites. I am not opposed to Elk Neck SP and we can get full hookups there, is we so decide.

Sara's Trip
October 31 to November 2nd at
Yes, this is the last trip I normally make for the year.  Of course, weather (ice and snow) permitting.

I was thinking about this one for March since it is sooooo close (comparatively) for me.

COTOC has 3 more trips planned for 2008, at this time.  If anyone is interested in joining us on any of the trips please make your reservation and then post your site, on the thread about the trip.  Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Fall Rally at Locust Lake State Park, PA.
