We've been up in Canada for the past few weeks.  Might do Quechee VT area in a few weeks or even Provincetown, Cape Cod. At least we're hoping to get the pod out at least once this year :(]]> Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:32:40 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3101&PID=38892#38892 2013 NE Roundup : We just camped at Elk Neckthis... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3101&PID=38374#38374 Author: techntrek

We just camped at Elk Neck this spring.  Loved the area and plan to go back.  When we were there the leaves weren't on the trees yet so there was a great view of the bay.  A month from now the leaves will probably still be there so the view may not be as great.  There's a small town nearby with a "main street" for shopping, dining, etc.   Near the campground there's a lighthouse.  Takes a mile hike to get to it but its high up on a bluff with a great view.]]> Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:14:36 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3101&PID=38374#38374 2013 NE Roundup : We won't be back until May.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3101&PID=38370#38370 Author: Paige

We won't be back until May.  We take our rPod down to Florida in the fall. Then when we are living in Fort Myers, we go out to the wonderful Florida State Parks.  We also head to the Keys for a week.  ]]> Wed, 18 Sep 2013 20:26:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3101&PID=38370#38370 2013 NE Roundup : Love to!

Love to!  But... When are you coming back?  
Unfortunately, We have a memorial service on Long Island that week end...
I know Paige is not up for a winter week end up here in the Mid Atlantic, how 'bout the res of us?
We need someplace to go. We're up for a cold weather venture.

South is good, too, although it would then have to be called the 2013 SE Roundup, or maybe the 2013 Mid-Atlantic Roundup.  Smile
 
Maybe somewhere west of DC in VA or WV?  Lots of parks/forests there and pretty countryside.

We've stayed at Sweetwater Forest and really like how many trees there are there. Each campsite seems very private almost like a state park but with additional benefits such as water and electric.  They supposedly have a doggie daycare on site too (which was what got us looking at them in the first place), but we didn't have a chance to use their services.

Our TV has been in and out of the shop and now we are comfortable with it towing the pod, but will most likely upgrade in the coming year to something bigger as we are looking to do Lake Placid or Northern VT next year :)

Greg's work schedule is changing on a daily basis and things are up in the air for us at the moment.  We were originally thinking of the 3rd weekend of September but not sure now.

We're getting major work done on our TV Cry and so we're stuck for the next week or so.  We were thinking of heading up to ME again in August and then a few Cape Cod trips in September through October.  Depending on how our TV is after the work, we may have to skip our annual VT trip due to the hills.   Having just moved last month, we're just not that organized yet Tongue

Is anyone interested in a Cape Cod September Roundup? (i.e. after the insane crowds leave)
