What trips do you have planned for '09?

[surffishjimmy]

I am new to this forum and I also just purchased a used PUP.   I am just curious as to what trips other members have planned for 2009 and do you plan all of your trips early in the season or do you just wing it and go when you can.

So far I have 4 trips planned for 2009.

1) April - Wildwood State Park Long Island NY - This will be my first trip with our PUP.  It is very local for us within 50 miles.
2) May - Lake George Escape in Lake George NY
3) June - Hither Hills Montauk NY
4) August - South Arm Campground Maine

I want to try to get a few more in also.

Great to be a part of this group.  Hope to see some of you at a campground in the future.

Quick answer....as many as possible.

Longer answer..."at least" one trip a month from Feb thru Nov would make me a happy camper. More than one a month would be ok also

Sadly we only have 2 planned  

April 3-5 Lake Isabella Fishing Derby and the SCCampers annual halloween rally in October....................... I'm hoping we get to plan more though

I have three trips currently planned.  The first trip will by my first with my new (and first) PUP, a 2008 Fleetwood E1.

1.  My brother and I are meeting some friends at a campground on Lake Whitney, NW of Waco, TX in a week and a half

2.  My dad, brother and I are going on a camping and fishing trip at the end of March.  We haven't decided on the location yet because so many lakes in central and southeast Texas are so low.  Many are 3-4' low and some are as much as 10' low.

3.  Taking a trip with a bunch of friends to some private land at the beginning of May.  It will be my first dry camping trip with the PUP.  I generally stay 3 nights, so it will be interesting to see if the battery lasts the whole time.  If I'm conservative, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'll go camping at least two more times during the year, and most likely it will be 3 or 4 more.  Only one trip will I not take the PUP, because I like the tent camping area better at this campground.  The RV sites don't have any trees covering them and they're mainly concrete.  Not a good combination in July in Texas.

We're going to try and get in more local camping trips this year.  We'll be going back to the Grand Canyon again at the end of July, beginning of August, so that we can hike rim-to-rim.  We also want to get back to Kings Canyon/Sequoia Nat'l again.........and I'd like to get into Yosemite at least once.

For sure we're going back to this place ASAP ... like when trout season opens the first of April ~
