I dunno....it looks kind of "happy" to me, in the picture

 

All of the pet sites on the B loop are in the woods and have electric.  43 is nice since you have nobody around you on 3 sides and lots of room.  44 is roomy and has direct access to the public water faucet, so if you need to load up on water you just need a long hose.  The pet + electric sites fill up fast though, so book in advance.

 

Most of the pet sites on the C and D loops are in the open.  Only 5 have electric there.  The ones along the main road in the 140's and 80's are all in the woods, as is 139.  However, 139 and 140 are very close, good for groups but not if you want a little privacy.  144 gets a lot of foot and vehicle traffic going by on the access road to the overflow parking lot behind it (a trail head is at the parking log along with the playground and access to the amphitheater).  However, its one of my favorites because it has tons of room, nobody on 3 sides, and the fire ring is far from the camper pad so you don't get smoked out if the wind is going the wrong way.

 

You'll have to call the campground to see about your dog, I've seen big dogs there before.  717-637-2418

 

 

I am going to the Smoky Mts. and then heading up towards Shenandoah and will likely take I-81, but have no definate plans beyond the Smoky's.  This will be something to decide around the campfire.  I would probably be in the area around Wed., Thurs., or Friday, but again, nothing certain at this point.

 

I'm home today; busy with "pre-launch" activities, but will check in occassionally.  Thanks!

 

 

 

I might add, to everyone on the forum....

I hope each of you shares my strong sense of responsibilty to personally test/sample ( quite extensively) the products that you will be giving away on this occasion!  It is a small sacrifice to make to insure the safety of the children!

 

I pay for the candy twice...once at the store, and later, in the dentist chair .  Ouch YES!

 

I also got to thinking about the 'pod.  With the curve on the front I had an idea.  I just ordered a huge orange tarp (20' X 30') which I'm going to wrap around the 'pod from front to back.  On the front I'm going to add black tape to make it look like a carved pumpkin.  Should look cool.  At least it does in my head! 

 

I made sure to get a tarp big enough that we can use it for cover the rest of the year, but not so big that it completely covers the sides of the 'pod so we can get inside while its a pumpkin.  When we know its going to rain on a trip we'll set up both of our 10 X 10 EZ-ups, but over the years holes have worn in the fabric.  This tarp will serve double-duty to waterproof the tops of the EZ-ups with some extra left over to either create an awning or hang down to protect from wind-blown rain.

 

I'll make sure I post some pics of the r-pumpkin.
