Winter Camping French Creek Pa

I'm still on track to leave work at 1:15, leave home around 3, to arrive around 5 so hopefully I'll miss most of the snow while I'm on the road.  I had my truck hooked up to the pod so all I had to do was a few minor things before leaving, but of course - hello Mr. Murphy -  this morning my car's starter decided to die (not the battery, the starter itself).  So I had to scramble to UNHITCH the truck so I could get to work.  Grrrr.

At French Creek, Tent is up and heater is running  looks to be a good weekend. snow did start but does not look too bad

wildflowerz, lol!  We could go down to one of the two lakes in the park and cut a few holes.

I arrived much later than expected due to major snow-related backups, but we (me and my older daughter) arrived safely and quickly set up camp.  The 'burban handled beautifully in the several inches of snow.  As I told the group, if I had the old Sienna I would have gotten stuck either a mile from home or a mile from camp.  No problems on the road at highway speed even though the roads were barely plowed.

We took dinner over to the tent and enjoyed the company of the fellow ice fishers ... I mean winter campers.  Some turned in earlier, but rpodcamper and I stayed up a while chatting.  The carport/tent is working well, not quite as breezy as the setup last year.  rpodcamper has an 18,000 btu catalytic heater, I have a radiant heater and the propane campfire.  Considering how cold it is out there we were pretty comfortable.  My thermometer reads 12 F right now.

good morning! :) do you all have a time planned for when you were going to have the pot luck dinner? do you also have an estimate for when you will be at the sites? we are looking to try to arrive up there between 1:30 and 2:00. let us know if you need us to bring anything (besides food) like firewood or anything else :)

It was great meeting everyone, thank you for the invite.
