April 18 - 20 th. 2008 Tracy's Birthday Bash

I got the same letter yesterday...I"m staying put.

Ok, we just got a letter yesterday.  I called just now and talked to shelly.  She said that they made some changes to the sites and basically they wanted everyone to be aware it may be a little different for getting into them then it was in the past.  She didn't think that I was going to have any problem with mine even though I told her it was 30'.  She also didn't say anything about bears but in all fairness, you have to assume that they could be there anyways.  I am going to stay put.

Here is what they wrote back in an e-mail.

Site 195 is a small site, but will accommodate your small trailer.  You won't be getting a letter cause the attributes for that site have not changed.  If campers know that their equipment can fit on that particular site, then they don't have to do anything.  The size of the sites have not changed, just the attributes for the sites.  We have not done any physical site changes.  We had many problems with campers not being able to get into their sites.  Trees across the street hinder the campers from backing into some sites.  That is why we changed some site sizes.

Well I guess the lady Connie I spoke to doesn't know what she is talking about. Well we have been moved. I guess we will have to stay put in our new site. I am so confused...Well anyway we will be there...

See you soon,
Shelly

Di I received two letters today. One for your site and one for my site. I didn't call or email them, I plan on staying put. If you can't get into your site take mine if it is bigger. What a great time to notify us that they have changed things. What attributes have they changed that would reduce a 30 foot site into a 15 foot site?:confused:

I called the park today and told the lady I had a popup and her comment was "You'll be alright. That's a long site."  We're on 206.

I think there must be issues with longer TTs and HTT's and trying to get the angles right for backing up.  

If I can't get it in, I'll just let Margie back it up.

See ya'll on the 19th.

We are staying a couple extra days and were wondering if y'all could recommend a good day trip in the area?  Hubby and I were wondering about the Crystal Caves?  Or Hawk Mountain Sanctuary?  Any and all suggestions are welcome  :cool:

[SheBantam]

Cabellas in Hamburg PA or the outlets is about my limit on "attractions" in the area.

There is white water rafting at White Haven

[tlhdoc]

I have been out of town for a few days.  I haven't been to either attraction, so I can't give you any recommendations.  Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Unfortunately we can't make this trip.  However, I can comment on Hawk Mountain.  We were hiking there two weeks ago and it was fantastic.  We joined the raptor conservancy and will be making many return trips.  If you like hiking and gorgeous views of the Kittatinny Ridge, you will have fun.  Some of the trails are challenging, some are easy.  

We have not yet been to Crystal Cave, but I hear good things.  We did visit Lost River Cavern a couple of months ago.  It was very interesting, albeit a vairly small cave system.  Lots of history to it as well.  Lost River is probably a 45 minute ride from HRCG.

Getting excited now. Just got the popup out of the garage. Yuck, it's so dirty. Didn't realize it got put away like that. Can't remember. Maybe I wasn't there. But I'm not going to worry about it. Have to work tomorrow so won't be washing it. Hopefully Chris can dewinterize it tomorrow night. We're hoping to go Thursday night, but Kels has invited 2 friends. All 3 girls play sports (different ones) so it's difficult trying to juggle schedules. We may have to wait until Friday morning since one girl has a lax game after school Th and then a soccer game that evening. The other girl plays softball, not sure but I think she has a game Th also.I"m still waiting to hear when we can go. Trying to let them work it out. The girls can't miss HS team practices or games. Basically that's like quitting the team. Kels is missing her soccer stuff Th-Su, but she plays on a club team and has a bit more freedom. At first, Kels didn't want to miss but now she's as excited about this camping trip as I am so she's ok about missing. Chris is trying to brace himself for a gigglefest weekend.

Chris is trying to brace himself for a gigglefest weekend.

Di tell Chris if it gets too bad in your camper we can trade places.  He can play video games with DS.
 
I am glad you are excited.  I know I am.  Can't wait to see my camping family this weekend.  I am also looking forward to having running water in the camper for the first time this year.
 
Di if my site is better for your camp, go ahead and take it.  Call if there is a problem with the sites.

Di I know about a dirty camper, we got the pressure washer out and the wheel was broke off...then I went to hook it up and the connection to where the pressure hose is was also broken...so I bought a new one, and cannot get the soap out...it says to fill the soap to the line on the container on the power washer, and NOT to turn on the water, the motor will not turn unless I turn on the water...seems the soap has to be laid on a dry surface and then washed off after a few minutes.  Raymond is going to play with it today, if he can not get the soap out, he is going to take it back. he has the reciept and the box.

They used to sell a pressure wand that also held soap and had not motor, may look for one of those...

[DiW]

Leaving now to pick up the girls. Chris left earlier with the camper. Never did get a hold of anyone at the cg. Called too many times to count. Hopefully it won't be a problem to arrive a day early. See you all tomorrow.

[dademt]

Well, we are home safe and sound.  Thanks to all for a very enjoyable weekend.  What a turnout.  2 weeks until the next one seems way far away.

[tlhdoc]

We also made it home safe and sound.  I am not sorry I missed the hike, after I got home.  We unloaded quickly and just went into the house when the rain came down.  We had a heavy down pour/thunderstorm.  Sorry I didn't get to say good bye to everyone.  Thank you all for coming on the trip.  We will have to do it again sometime.
