WVWWW VII-Camping Trip...August 21st - 23rd

I second that one...but I have to clean her up.  This is her special trip so I want her to feel special...

She seems to give me better gas mileage if I pamper her...  :9:

Pamper? You've got to be kidding me! Mine seems to be happiest when I drive it like this:  :drive:

It's not about mileage, it's about keeping them happy, and mine's happy when it's been ridden hard and put away wet! >:D

If I started pampering mine now, it would just get spoiled and keep asking for more! :E:

(PS: Yes, I'm talking about the truck!)

Don't I know it!
And yes, I am also talking about the truck.

EXACTLY! If I wash it now, mine will start demanding to be kept as clean as yours!  :E:

And the verdict is in: I absolutely won't have time to wash the truck tonight, the shop called and said that they aren't quite done with it and I won't be getting it back untill tomorrow.  :6:

Sounds like you might have the cleanest truck there!!! (y) Even IF ours starts out clean by the time it gets there I know it will be dirty. :rolleyes:

It's always tough to compete with GBT for cleanest truck. :B:

That is SO true!!! I know that for a fact, but I was going by this quote when I said might. ;)

The weather forecast does not look good.
Not sure if I will even bother to wash the Av.
I'll bring hip waders for the tent.  :E:
 
Wow.. lots of chatter on the board today. Everyone seems to be getting antsy  :D

No problem Brian or anyone else who wants to go on the boat. It would have to be in shifts though as it is only a 19 foot boat. 6-9 passengers depending.. I have 6 adult life jackets and 2 child jackets. If anyone has a couple more life jackets they could bring just in case.

I cleaned the boat today but it sounds like I need to spend some time cleaning the Av. :)

Anyway.. we are very excited about this trip and meeting/making new friends! I've been packed since last week  :)

BBB & SS here is my phone number in case something changes with our rendezvous plans...  I should be on the road by 7am

Idk about that, But i wanna make mine look nice and purty since it is my first official GTG. And I checked the weather report it was mostly couldy saturday with a 20% chance of rain so we can only cross our fingers :6:
 
I think some what of a contact list would be a good idea.
                                                                                                          me     :beating:      AT&T
                                                               
 
Anyone that wants to be on the contact list....

PM me your screen name, real name and significant others name and kids if any, your phone number and email.

MD2500AV and 4x4dreamer...go ahead and take your numbers off the sight...you may start getting crank calls...  (y)

I will email it to everyone on the list tomorrow.

:wave: WV,

Hope you all have a blast this weekend. Wish I could be there but just got back home after being gone since July 1st. I'll be on the lookout for more fun with my WV Friends.

Can't wait to see pictures.

:love: Moddess

Wish you could make it Marie-Anne but I certainly understand. Looks like you had a good time for the most part on your vacation.

You will be missed...and the girls will miss the Espresso Beans... :eek:
 
Just got off the phone with the owner of the campground...

A couple things:

  • We got the Pavilion now...It seats 50 people from 3pm to ???? (Quiet time is 11pm)
  • There is no alcohol at the Pavilion (So bring an alternative beverage container)
  • Caverns are in Lewisburg - We are going to opt out of this trip
  • Horseback riding was suggested in the gorge
  • Swimming on lake with inflatable slides and trampoline about 15 mins away
  • Walking trail (1.5 hours long)

I am going to suggest that we plan a cruise to the gorge in Fayettesville to site-see and then take a horse back ride (Maybe).

Sounds like a good plan to me.  (y)

I am sure that 4x4 dreamer will chime in about the caverns. There are caverns all over the place in WV. I can't believe that Lewisburg is the closest one to the campground. I have been a few non-commercial caves that are fairly close to the campground.
 
Camp got washed and waxed last night...avy was vacuumed and washed.

Need to wax her and give her a little primping.

If if it rains on the way down...she will still look purty...  :love:

Also, just found out there is a surprise arrival...  :cool:
 
How about this???

Sounds like you have been busy!!! The most I have done today to get ready to go is look up Jello recipes and do some laundry. :rolleyes:

But now on to the important stuff....

SURPRISE  ARRIVAL??? Do we at least get some hints? Where are they from? When will they arrive? Oh come on just tell us who it is!!! >:D



 
This is for ShapeShifter and MD2500AV

I am thinking we (SS & BBB) meet at the designated location at 10-10:30.

We can hook up with MD2500AV about an hour and a half later.  We will probably have lunch packed for the kids so stopping is not an issue....we can call when getting close or make sure you are on Two way channel 8.0
