I think everybody pretty much keeps close track of their dogs and leashes are the norm. The Corps guys drive through and will point out infractions if they see them. Before I forget , pay close attention to the speed limits in the park. They are picky about that. Go sllllllloooooowwww.

So I'm thinking since we are arriving a day early (Wednesday evening) we will miss the canapés at Daves. So Thursday around lunch I may cook up some scrapple cooked with bacon and some pumpkin bratwurst. Noelia will try to make a couple batches of Cider rum punch to wash it down, so if you can smell it, stop in-037 Pman.

Sure, bring the Sherline scale. I'm curious on my tongue weight and in lieu of the lugnuts contest, Thoer & Iowa Dave would love to officiate a tongue weight guessing contest, maybe.

My Sheline is always in my storage box, but Dave and I have retired from officiating, so I think you just nominated yourself.

Sherline, Sherline, Eric and I don’t need no stinkin’ Sherline. If tongue weight is below 350 Eric will lift the tongue on the ball. If it’s between 350 and 500, I’ll lift it on and you’re good to go.

Gee I guess we've gotta go to the rendezvous now, still considering it

How do you like Westbranch? Thinking of heading there for a couple of days to get our young Lab Annie used to the trailer.

Hmmmm
Pumpkin Spam with Pumpkin bread, a pumpkin beer and a slice of pumpkin pie. Sounds like the makings of an Octoberfest. James Whitcomb Riley will be doing a reading.

Well it looks like we're going to make it to the rendezvous but of course now all the sites even in Potters North are gone, on Wed. I should have grabbed 41 right by you Jim but it's gone now.

There are still sites in Potters South. I'm holding off booking now but if anyone realizes they cannot make the rally and has to cancel please let us know.

You are welcome to double up with us if there is room. We do not need the electric with our solar and I doubt a/c will be in use. I can park my truck with another member if need be.

Thanks Jim for the offer but here's from the park rules -"Only one RV and one tent will be allowed on RV sites."

So if you'd like to bring your tent, you'll save on gas and I'll pay for your site, what a deal
