Well Donna and I are going to get a one week break. Push, shove, work, you know the drill. I think we are going to try to get two Pod trips in this upcoming week. Sunday at Hoosier National Forest before they close on the 15th to see our old friends and camp hosts. Off to new adventures. We have this upcoming Wednesday and Thursday booked for last resort at Brown County in Southern Indiana. looking forward to some poddin time before we have to put her up for the winter. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

You don't have to put it up for the winter. We have some great year round camping down South.. Some of it almost as pretty as Brown County. (We love Nashville). Come to the Mississippi coast... Great campsites available. Thinker (P.S. Wife is from Muncie) ------------- Tow Vehicle: 2013 Pathfinder 4WD R-POD Model 171

Leaving for our last hoorah tomorrow morning and coming back Monday. I'm looking forward to having William O'Brien State Park - north of Stillwater, MN - mostly to ourselves on Sunday.

Mooses. I am not familiar with Jellystone, I have heard of it, is it near Hardy lake ? Scottsburg is pretty close for us. We also like Clifty Falls in Madison. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

Not sure if it's near a that lake. It's a private campground right off of exit 29 and a mile or two down the road. Nice little park, lots of seasonals, lots of activities and stuff. A nice weekend, haunted house, haunted forest, trick or treating. Sites are pretty decent as well. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

A Jellystone near us is usually in our annual lineup. Good place for the kids.

Follow up on trip to Hoosier National Forest. I was prepping the Pod this morning to head out for the last trip to HNF. I called our friend Jerry the camp host to make sure everything was ok. jerry told me they had orders to close the gates and padlock them. Bear in mind I have been going to HNF for over 25 years. North face is open year round with no attendants so people can access the boat ramp and hunt the 3o thousand acres available to the public. South slope is open from oct 15 to dec 31 with no attendants for late year fishing and deer hunting, these gates are never closed as they need no attendants to maintain them. This crap of closing federal sites and monuments that normally have no one present just to prove a point is intolerable and I hope I live long enough to pay back the S.O.B.'s with my vote to stop this future gotcha Bravo Siera, We will prevail one way or the other. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

It really is nice. Only they are expensive on their Holiday weekends which the rest of October weekends are before they close. Always a lot of nice folk there, the seasonal people are nice and friendly. It's been our Halloween trip for years now, we won best dressed Halloween Dog costume this weekend. For us we go for their "themed" weekends and events like that. Have never actually just camped there on a normal quiet weekend but we meet a lot of local Indiana folks that say it's their campground that they frequent several times a season. Sorry to hear your plans got fubar'd! ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Donna and I are going to be at Last Resort on SR 46 just east of Nashville Indiana 10/16 and 10/17. we are going to use the pod for a motel room and just take 2 days of easy walking around and checking out shops, the leaves are just starting to turn and I think we will beat the rush. Maybe some rain Wednesday, so what that's what they make umbrella's for  Look us up if you are there.------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |
