Greasing the Grooves - R-pod Owners Forum

Hmmm, that sounds worth looking into.

I had one more recommendation of Vogel State Park yesterday, they were suprised I had heard of it, but the tom-toms of the Pod people are up to date. I may be heading there if there is opening when I get back and see the date I can leave.

Vogel State Park is one of my daughter and son-in-law's favorite state parks for camping in their popup. It has a beautiful lake and nice wooded campsites, and for those with kiddos it has two nice playgrounds, one small and one larger. Your nearest town if you need to get to the grocery store, etc. is Blairsville, GA. Last time we camped out there was quite some time ago, and we decided to take a drive over to Murphy, N.C. which wasn't that much further away but it was a nice jaunt.

Our jaunt to Murphy was the weekend Eric Rudolph (the Atlanta bomber during the Olympics) was arrested. The police were everywhere along the highway in Murphy. I've always thought Rudolph "let" himself get caught, anyway. He had managed to elude law enforcement for several years until then, and getting caught behind a dumpster was a pretty inglorious arrest. Well, that's my opinion anyway, for whatever it's worth -- maybe 2 cents?

Well, this person of a certain age has not gotten out this season. I have to do better next year.

But having the need of help to de-winterizer this time so that I could observe and do, hopefully I can do the upkeeping of the Pod in that department this year. Due to that and not wanting to pressure the hubby (and I could have gotten him started earlier, but with varied results) I find I am STILL not out camping.

We had really cold weather, then the coin flips and we have really hot weather. Was rainy and cold in March, April we travel to Texas first weeks, then getting the process started with the Pod could have been quite a bit faster, but all know how life comes in and if I go camping I no longer can zoom out and do a day or so and back, need a bit more time. If I go, I want a period of time to put down and enjoy. I still have the baking soda in the system, just a matter of draining that and loading water if I go dry camping.

Except for frig. I am ready to roll. But Memorial Day loomed, then family came for the birthday and the fire flies were mating in Elkmont, so no room in the inn. And I leave Thursday for Texas again, will be back in time for July 4th

. So looks like the time after holiday IF all is well among folks I know.

How did life get so complicated, just many years of gathering responsibility, even when retired. But I am burning daylight, need to GO

Not sure how smart it is to be doing the Pod, but I LOVE camping, in most any form. I only think of age when I just happen to and do set up and break down at my own pace.

PS. I don't think the lights are tacky at all. Like campers everywhere, it is festive and homey.
