Rally countdown!

[DiW]

When I was a child, my family had a vacation home near Lake Wallenpaupak. That's where I learned to waterski. It wasn't as busy back then as it is now. I hope to get over there one day to visit my uncle.

If I remember correctly, we used to go in to Honesdale to the drive in - also to do our laundry before we finally got a washer/dryer. I think there was a real five and dime store. Hawley was a really little country town with delicious sticky buns and the yearly county fair (chasing greased pigs and all that stuff).

Bet it's all changed

Hi Paula,
It is my understanding that non-motorized craft are allowed at Keen Lake.
The personal water craft that we are bringing will be used on Lake Wallenpaupack as often as they can get them over there. It is about a 30 minute ride from the camp ground so is closer than some of the places that DH takes his toy to from home. I really don't expect to see much of him at all the whole week, in the daytime anyway. I will have my own run around vehicle (my new-to-me Expedition) and plan to find lots of fun shopping spots and places of interest to visit.
Hope everyone has a great 4th!!!!!!!

Whewwww thanks for the clarification. You all had me doing an "Are they nuts" thing...the lake is little bitty (for motorized water craft), about 3 x the size of RJ Ranch lake, maybe 4 X, that was why i was a wondering how you all were going to manuver in such tight corners,  anything over a 1 horse would probably be too big.

The only shopping I know is the Wyoming Valley Mall (Wilkes Barre) and that has been years so I won't be much help.  Raymond's one daughter went to job corps near Hazleton and Shannon went to the Red Rock Job Corps (Ricketts Glen), so we were around the area a lot YEARS ago.  Shannon is 28, Sharon is almost 38.

I just realized today that I left my tool box in the Cabin A and that is in storage at Tall Pines Harbor...Raymond is going to round some things up for me out of his work shed...you think I have multiples...

Just 6 more days until we're setting up at Keen Lake!!!!!
Can't wait!

See ya'll tomorrow.

[SheBantam]

I'll see you all on Sunday!

I called and they have WIFI that should reach the campsite...not entirely happy about that. I was made lead on a project today that is to be done in 2 weeks...she DOES realize I will be on Vacation next week and out to a Conference in Philly three days the following week, but she insists I am the person for the job...so have lap top will travel so I can stay in touch with my co-workers and get the material that will come my way on MOnday to Divvie up...and keep the coworkers working on it, needless to say I AM NOT HAPPY.

I will see most of you TODAY!:D

Am packing the camper now, just taking a break.  Will not leave until tomorrow and I think I will be coming through Reading, so if anyone needs anything at all from Cabelas, speak now. It is on my way. We were not going to stop, but if anyone needs anything, let me know and we can go up the hill.
There is a good Chinese Buffet in the Mall between Pottsville and St. Clair, I am planning on having lunch there tomorrow.

Paula I have no idea why you are going through Reading to travel to NE PA.  Have a safe trip and I will see you Sunday.

PA 61 to I 81 at Frackville.  Then north.  It is a better drive for me, not as taxing on the motor as going up the NE Extention. between Allentown and I 80 is a nasty long grade that always slows me down a lot and makes the engine groan. Remember I am not taking the Cabin A, this is the Bantam FULLY loaded as well as being heavy, it also has a whole lot of wind resistance.  The slower and less hilly 61 is better for me (gas and toll wise). The truck is not as loaded this time (with drawers) and will be storing three of the drawers in the shed.  I left a lot of stuff with the Cabin A at Tall Pines harbor.  Actually if I caught 443 to 309, that is even closer coming this way.
