I thought about knocking but didn't in case you decided to sleep in a bit.  Even worse, we didn't pull out of our site until 8:40.  Cry  Oh well, we'll make sure there is a next time.
 
A trip to Canada is on our to-do list!  Amber wants to visit Niagara Falls, so maybe that can all get wrapped into one trip.

We had a great time meeting everyone and want to thank podsible dream for hosting the potluck and techntrek for getting the ball rolling on the campground reservations.

"Before we left I walked around the loop again, probably around 8:10 and said goodbye to Chris and Walt, there was no sign of life from Greg & Tracy's site.  Sorry to miss you guys, at least I got to see your 152 from the outside.  You can give me the grand tour next time!"

Oh no! We must have just missed you! We were making tea and coffee and forgot to open the door :(  Thought you guys left much earlier when we realized it around 8:15.  Please knock next time as G & I are both obviously quite forgetful (in opening the door and looking awake) first thing in the morning before our caffeine EmbarrassedTongueEmbarrassed

Hopefully Daniel and Elise will drop by the forum and say HI.  It was quite a pleasant conincidence to have them there at the same time.  We might have to organize a Canadian Roundup as well ;)

A tough slog home for us, too.  What was a 9 hour drive up turned into 13 hours on the way back, although about a half-hour of the extra time was due to a detour into Rhode Island (now we can say we've been in every east coast state this summer).  The rest was traffic jams due to the rain, starting on I-84 west of Hartford, CT.  While some areas like NYC had record-breaking rainfall, amazingly we barely ran into much of it ourselves.

We had a great time, too, we really enjoyed the conversation and company.  On the way home   Amber echoed what I said to everyone, we had a better time than we did with family (at times).  Embarrassed    Before we left I walked around the loop again, probably around 8:10 and said goodbye to Chris and Walt, there was no sign of life from Greg & Tracy's site.  Sorry to miss you guys, at least I got to see your 152 from the outside.  You can give me the grand tour next time!  Hopefully the other couple will check in here so we can stay in touch.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at a future Roundup!

Hi y'all, made back home to central NJ at about 7:30pm. Thru the rain and traffic and wrong decisions about the right roads to avoid the NYC traffic...
So we are here. We are very happy to have met you folks and formed new friendships. We hope you had a good time at our mini roundup and enjoyed the dinner and fellowship last night!

If you guys check in here, we must have missed everyone out at dinner or sightseeing.  My wife and I walked around the loop around 8 but there was no sign of life at either of your campsites.  I heard that someone stopped by our site while I was in the shower but we left for dinner right after I finished.

Hopefully we can catch up tomorrow evening, our group is leaving in the morning to go to L.L. Bean for the day.  Not my first choice of things to see while in Maine, but that was the group decision.  Hope to see you when we get back!

We'll do it in one stretch, as we're 1 -1.5 hours closer than you, leaving Wednesday AM. Just two of us, no need to coordinate the masses...

One week to go!  It looks like my family and my parents will be caravaning up starting on Tuesday evening, doing the Wal-Mart thing that night, probably arriving in Ogunquit Wednesday evening.  My parents are still ok with poping up at Wal-Mart, I think my mother wants to be able to say they've done it.  Cool  This will be the 4th time we've been in our 'pod @ Wal-Mart (plus another night just in our van).
 
Should be interesting, a good friend of ours and her son may be joining us.  Without any extra room in the 'pod I think they are going to sleep in the van like we did.  That will make packing a little more difficult since chairs and EZ-ups can't just stay in the back of the van overnight.  I'm going to try to put the awnings under the dinette and some chairs under the bed - I don't want to have to do much rearranging once we get off the highway (other than ripping all the seats out of the van).  The obvious solution would be to put them in my parent's popup, but my brother and one of my uncles will also be in there so I don't want to impose.  At least once we get to Ogunquit they will be staying in a tent so we can leave all the seats in the van for day trips.

Just wanted to point out that if anyone still wants to join us during August in Maine, that there is the Maine Lobster Festival (formerly known as the Maine Seafood Festival) the weekend before (Aug 3-7) in Rockland.  This festival is a kid-friendly carnival-plus-lobster event not be be confused with the $$ grownup foodie event, Harvest on the Harbour, in Portland in October.
 
We haven't decided how much we like town carnivals (even though this one has lobster rolls) so are still planning the rest of our Maine trip but are confirmed for the roundup.  Hope this info helps those still planning.

Here are the links to the above festivals:

The pic in my avatar is a cropping from a NASA press shot, the pics I posted in my trip report a few weeks ago are mostly mine - the only one that isn't was that same NASA press shot, I think it was the first one.

Edit:  I just went back and looked at those pics, I never posted the one I took of the shadow of the exhaust on the cloud cover.  I also posted a link to pics taken by an airline pilot above the cloud cover, is this what you are talking about?
