We were at Hunting Island last Thanksgiving.  Maybe it was two years ago.  Great weather anyway.  The place was packed though, all week the week after Thanksgiving.  Fun place, especially if you like raccoons.  Beaufort is a fun town too.  We'll go back before long.

When we did annual trips to the beach we did the same thing, always going down Saturday-Saturday.  Missed all the traffic and had a day to catch up at home before going back to work.  Haven't done that in a few years with so many other destinations to see.]]> Mon, 26 Aug 2013 09:31:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37264#37264 Labor Day Weekend : Splitting the weekend crowds by... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37253#37253 Author: P&M

Splitting the weekend crowds by heading out on Sunday to the coast (Hunting Island SP in SC) which allows us to miss a lot of the Friday night and Saturday traffic, as well as the Monday heading home traffic.  Spending the week there and it should be nice weather and no crowds come Tuesday!]]> Mon, 26 Aug 2013 08:39:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37253#37253 Labor Day Weekend : Hmmmmmmmmmm...Podin' vs motorcycle... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37246#37246 Author: sammycamper

This week-end I have to travel from Ottawa to Sudbury to drop off our eldest daughter at Laurentian University (1st year).  It will be the longest trip for the R-Pod but will allow me to check out three new Ontario Provincial Parks (write ups and pictures to follow) - Marten River (north of North Bay), Windy Lake (north of Sudbury) and Arrowhead (near Huntsville).  I may also check out Lake of Two Rivers campground in Algonquin Park on the way back to see what their pet beach is like.

After doing a good number of local outings this summer to get ourselves familiar with Cutie-Pod we are doing our last and longest trip to Kelowna.
Since we are based on Vancouver Island it's time consuming and costly to get over to the mainland but after a half dozen trips I'm eager to try doing a longer haul
We just replaced the friction sway bar and after some research learned our TV has a transmission cooler already installed so I am feeling good about taking on the climb.

I love Kodachrome State Park!

We can't go anywhere! This is one of our biggest weekends at the
property we manage. Then, as a reward for working all three days while
everyone else is off, the following weekend is our annual owners'
meeting! More fun!

That Sunday night, however, the Key Pod will be brought in from the barn,
stocked up, chilled down, and ready to roll! We're off to Manatee
Springs State Park for a couple of "getaway nights."

We usually avoid the holiday weekends too, but within two weeks of this summer's vacation we were feeling the itch so we booked a trip for this coming weekend.  Hickory Run state park in PA, something new for us.  One advantage of the pod is you can block out the drunk rowdy holiday weekend crowd.  That was a problem in our popup. ]]> Sun, 25 Aug 2013 10:28:04 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37190#37190 Labor Day Weekend : Annual camp out with a bunch of... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37188#37188 Author: HuronSailor

I'm heading out also.  Just to a campground.  Being retired it is just another weekend.

We like to avoid the holiday crowds too -- and Labor Day weekend will be among the worst in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but that's where we're headed anyway.  It's a free 3-day weekend and I'm going to make 9 days out of it. 

  We're still fairly new to pod camping, having always tent camped before.  We have reservations for 4 nights in the GSMNP, and we'll probably stay there the whole time.  It's really our favorite place to go.  But with the wheels under our shelter, and no worries about packing up wet, we might head out to other venues while we're gone this time.

Well we don't normally go poddin on long holiday weekends. but, I had some minor surgery on my right foot and have not been able to be very active. I have had to wear one of those post surgery boots on my right foot, this means , no camping, no fishing, no going down into the woods etc. Stitches come out Tuesday and we are heading to Hoosier National Forest, our close to home get away. don't try to stop me. We have reservations. If I don't get out of this house and do something fun somebody is going to pay. (probably me) We are gone for a two nighter. Where are you going ????? ]]> Sat, 24 Aug 2013 22:51:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3884&PID=37180#37180
