Memorial Day Madness At The Fort

Just spent 5 beautiful days at the fort. It was HOT and it was CROWDED. We left on Wednesday the 25th, which was my sons 21st birthday. Him (Nathen) and his girlfriend (Amanda, a.k.a. Salamander) would be joining us that evening.

Loaded up and ready to go:

Mason will get in the truck as soon as he sees the rv being hooked up. No matter how long he must wait, or how hot it is, he will make sure he doesn't get left behind:

Not long after we got onto the turnpike, we came up on "something" I wish I could tell you what it was, but I have no idea! There was no advertising or signs on it so maybe someone has seen or heard of this before?!:

It wasn't too long before we started seeing the stuff that gets everyone excited:

I had requested the main road side of the 500 loop (across from the dog park) I was assigned to site 514. No big deal, I knew it would be closer to the comfort station. When we pulled up to 514 it was ALL SUN!!! Now, for those of you that have a hybrid or pop up, you understand why that would be a problem at the end of May in Florida.

Trevor found all of the sites I had originally requested open, so he went and called and asked to be moved. They told us no problem, but make sure we come to the front and change our "pass." Huh? We've never had to do that before, and the parking "pass" doesn't even have a site number on it. So we backed into 552 to get set up:

This is a sign I had made for Nathen. The picture on it was taken on his very first trip to MK when he was 2.

Besides my snarky sign, I also have this (in case you couldn't read it from afar ) This is my Donnie repellent :rofl2:

After getting all set up, we drove up to the front to change our "pass" like good little campers. Trevor went in and I snapped a couple of pics:

Turns out, it was our key cards that needed to be changed, not the pass. The CM told us it was a new computer system...........whatever?!

Time to go back to camp to relax, cool off, and wait for the kids................
