I'll add a link to the thread on the 2013 NE Roundup for those interested. Big smile

I saw the Walmart has a $59 Black Friday deal for a portable electric fireplace unit. There's no room in our 152 for something like that unless it's right under the thermostat Ouch but maybe the 171s might be interested if they don;t use their dinette table? I think it would fit right up between the dinette benches.

Just wanted to check if there is already a thread for this Winter Camp event on the other forum?  I looked but didn't see one and just wanted to check 1) If it was ok to crosspost there to get more attendees 2) If it's an open event and 3) If I should make a fb event for this when .

Just checking so I don't tread on any toes that I'm prone to do Tongue

I don't see why not, the more people freezing their pods off, the better.

Come on by for the Saturday evening campfire, I assume we'll do a potluck dinner again.

We could winter camp in southern Indiana, tonight, temps went from 55 to a low tonight of 27, hard rain during the day , and now blowing snow. the wind is blowing 40 to 50 mph, trees a dancing and the lights have flickered several times. I hope the juice does not go off. I have a generator if needed, but I would rather camp in the Pod.

hi all :) hope you are all having a nice holiday season. we were wondering if there are any specifics about this event yet such as which sites people will be staying at. does everyone usually stay in a section in the same area or stay all over and then meet up to say hi? also, when do people usually arrive? friday or saturday? look forward to hearing back from you :)

I'm not sure that anyone has booked any sites yet, but I'm ready to do it.  Head count on who is coming so we know how many sites we'll need?  I believe we were talking about doing the last weekend of January?  Right now they show C32, C33, C35, C36, C37, C38 all available that weekend.

I just looked through last year's thread and pulled out this info...

http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/frenchcreek/

Camground map: http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/ucmprd1/groups/public/documents/document/dcnr_004688.pdf

From Podsible Dream:

We recommend, on the basis of flatness and ease of using an R-Dome or Pop-up cover next to the R-Pod, the sites C-1 thru C3, 14, 15, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 44, 45, 46, 48. The website lists which ones are pet (dog) friendly. The high numbers are ADA with large paved areas. If we have our druthers we will probably pick C33.

Looks like Podsible was on C33, I was on C35, Rpodcamper C37

Two French Creeks in PA, the one we want is close to Reading.  Address:  843 Park Road

We have a busy Sunday that week, but we'll try to get there for supper on Saturday, sans R-Pod, though :(.

The date change to the last weekend was so wildflowerz could join, if for some reason their plans have changed we could consider moving it back a weekend, I'm free for either one.  I will send an email to them to see if they are still in.
