We saw a guy this morning running around on a golf cart picking up all of the wood laying around the fort for his pit. Wonder if he is the current keeper of the pit.

We see folks in campgrounds around us do that every Sunday, we call the WOOD CHUCKERS!!!!!!!

Actually depending on what state there can be a weight restriction that might require you a special endorsement for your driver's license, not CDL rated and up to each state. Look at my rig, a Kenworth T2000 full size tractor but registered in my home state as a Recreational Vehicle so no CDL required to operate, now it does have air brakes but so do the large diesel pusher motorhomes. Now I am not saying I agree with not having to have a CDL ( I do ) but look at how many people buy a large motorhome with no CDL or experience operating one. I have read a lot of info about this on the Escapees forum boards when making the choice to tow like I do.

I can see pictures in your last post

I got 2, 20lb bottles and a 40lb bottle filled this year at a Amish hardware store in Pa. and only paid $40 for all 3 of them total, note to self have full propane bottles before the next time we go to the Fort!!!!!!!!!

Another fan of Blaze Pizza and Deluxe Burger, also we like Splitsville, usually easy to get seated and the food is not bad. 

Carol thanks for the great pictures, now just waiting for the wife to retire to make a trip to the Fort for Halloween!!!!!

Great pictures!!!!!!!!

We have discovered watching the fireworks from the TTC is really awesome. Even better view than the Fort.

Very true, on our Sept visit we were trying to get from EPCOT to the MK for fireworks along with just about everyone else, the monorail was so crowded we opted for the ferry boat which of course closed just as we were ready to board, but the very nice cast member said for us to stand to the right of the boarding area and they even piped in the music.  We were very pleased with their suggestion and no pushy crowds!!!!!!!

Nice pictures!!!!! Some day we will be there......soon I hope

 We take 95 south to Rt 301 and cross the Harry Nice bridge to King George VA. I personally hate 95 in northern VA so much that I pay a $36 toll to cross what I call "ass clencher bridge". 

I sent a buddy of mine from north Jersey across the Harry Nice bridge once to meet us in Va. he said there at nothing F$%^# nice about that bridge, I would like to say that he is finally speaking to me again. 

Hope things work out for you.

Let your imaginations run wild on that one.  

The county park host a Christmas light display and is pretty popular, if they have any open sites. I know FROG host a rally there sometime in Dec. and takes up around 25 sites. Also heard good reviews of the other location as well.

Just for safety info I have a friend that their golf cart caught fire and was parked next to their 5th wheel which of course set the camper on fire, they got out safely but camper & cart was a total loss, no they did not have it on charge while parked but the batteries were not stock they came out of a wrecked Chevy Volt and he feels that was the cause of the fire. Sorry if I gave everyone here something else to worry about but CRAP happens!!!!!!!

Last weekend (on Sunday 10/7) I passed a rig on I-40 west bound between Knoxville and Nashville that looked like yours.   Semi tractor pulling big fifth wheel with a Smart car parked sideways in front of the fiver.  Copycats!

Believe it or not there are a lot of us out there doing this, this week in Hutchinson Ks. there is a HDT Rally at the fairgrounds that brings in close to 100 units. In the spring in Crossville Tn. there is another rally that usually has around 60 attend. Heck you can buy one now all ready to go just add the Smart car

 Also this a good argument for always having too much truck.

And people wonder why I tow with a Kenworth!!!!!

We are DVC and have not received anything either.

We have found Dole Whips at Knoebels in Pa and also Holiday World in Santa Claus In. my wife says they are just as good at both locations.

On the discussion of the Remy maps at EPCOT you do receive a souvenir cup after you complete the search, at least that was how we did it, the CM said though you don't have to do the search and could just ask for your cup after you buy the map but we did have fun searching.

We went Thursday and today and of course today was the busiest day. Had lots of great food and drinks, dinner tomorrow in Germany but did see some desserts we might need to try!!!!

Don’t go on Friday or Saturday nights. Not sure how bad Sunday night would be either. Weekends the festival is packed. 

That's about what we figured but if we go  we will try early evening before the chaos begins!!!!!!

Great start, looking forward to more!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed your trip

Sounds like a nice surprise!!!!!!!!!!!

We arrive this Wed for 5 nights hope we pick a night the crowds are not real bad.

If your handy and can fix things yourself and will not have the need to count on your dealer for repairs I would look for the best deal at a dealer you are comfortable and willing to travel to. We bought from a wholesaler near the rv capitol in Indiana where the build most campers and have never been back to them in the 2 years we have owned it. Good luck on your decision.
