Hoosier National Forest opens all sights April 15, water, electric, showers, beach all will be open soon. The bad part is that is Sunday and I have to go to work on Monday the 16th. Life is not fair or kind. The RP-172 has been dewinterized, pulled up from its winter sleeping area. Ever Item has been tripled checked, the only thing it is waiting for is me to have to not go to work. Where is the Justice ?

I think you are starting to feel sick.  By the weekend it may develop into a full-fledged plague requiring you to call out on Monday for the safety of your coworkers.  Evil Smile

Is that Patoka Lake?  Or is there another campground there that you visit?  I didn't think Patoka had water at their sites.
 
Also is that in the knobby part of Indiana or do you have relatively normal roads there?
 
We might head down to Otter Creek this weekend, temps look amazing so far!

Yes, I feel that dreaded plague called campingitis will be rampant in southern Indiana this weekend.  You must keep away from your coworkers.

T-2 days for us to get ¡Podtástic! and do our spring shakedown.  Can't wait!

KYMOOSES, its the hilly part of Southern Indiana, HNF, celina lake, Indian lake, tipsaw lake, 3 camp grounds, celina north and south face, tipsaw, I think only about 1/4th have electric, very few electric/water, its also 20 minutes south of Patoka lake, Patoka has over 300 sites, but most are in the middle of a bare field, Yuck. HNF is shady, and in most spots you are lucky to even see another camp site. shady, very tall trees, hiking trails, tipsaw has a sand beach, change house, playground for kids, and they rent kayaks, I brought home 8 9 to 12 inch black crappie last friday, Fish fry time, happy campin

We're green with envy.  According to the FR rep our 171 will be buillt on the week of April 30th and off the production line May 4th.  Hope the dealer is on top of it to pick it up and prep it.  We are scheduled for our maiden voyage, (think Titanic, without the drama) May 11th.  Have a pile of "stuff" to put into the trailer including a new mattress.  Will send pictures as they become available.  Enjoy and Safe Travels.

We got out for our shakedown, and it was a good weekend with the exception of the storm that rolled in early Sunday morning that woke us up.  http://podtastic.info/oconnell.html
