Better late then never?  I got some good shots of that stove plate sitting on the front counter.  The way they were talking that day I expected to see it up in the museum by the end of the next week.  That article says it may not be on display until next year, wow.

Historic stove plate returns home to Hopewell Furnace


http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=386014

Not saying our local paper here in Reading is a bit slow BUT This is old news as the stove plate happened to walk into Hopewell Furnace while we were visiting on Jan 14th.  Boy was that a colder day....

T-the winery was called J. Maki. It is a French style vintner, with imported prices. They have a champagne that was given a gold medal some time ago in a French competition.]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:27:30 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2178&PID=21811#21811 Winter Camp French Creek, PA : Wow.

Wow.  Tent camping with those temps.  They definately deserve an "atta boy" trophy.  I remember one year, we stayed in our unheated pop-up in 30-degree tempatures.  That was the 1st and last time for that.  I can only imagine what a tent would be like.

A few of the cabins were being used just outside of our loop, then there were 2 or 3 tenters in our loop and 2 popups.  The popups were doing the same thing we were, they were members of a popup forum and were there for a meetup!  Everyone was far away from us so we virtually had the place to ourselves.
 
The Park Ranger stopped by the first evening, he saw the 3 Pods and wondered what was up.

More pics from our Saturday afternoon excursion, to a local winery <extend pinky finger here>.  The winery was way too dang expensive but we enjoyed the tasting session and were suckered into taking several bottles home with us.

Finally, three peas in a pod.  I mean, three Pods in a row.

It got down to 10 F Sunday morning, but we were all toasty in our Pods.  We all enjoyed time around a real fire Saturday night before it got too cold (when we retreated to the tent city and relative warmth), enjoying some of the fermented grape juice and sharing a pot luck dinner.

I had a great time and look forward to the next get-together.
