fladogfan aka Gretchen

Althought Halloween has past, this is a good ghost story from another forum I'm a member of, http://mushing.bssd....forum/index.php this is a forum for people interested in sled dogs and sled dog racing or even just doing something with your pet dog(s). I posted over there about my latest interest, which is fiendsfiendsfiends! Hope this is OK to post here. Here is the ghost story or a story about hauntings at Old Woman cabin on the Iditarod Trail. http://www.alaskadis...-iditarod-trail

Says in the Bible to 'make a joyful noise unto the Lord'. Doesn't say you have to be in tune.

There are signs warning about the ticks and chiggers. We were lucky, didn't find any, but also did not take the dogs walking in the woods. Did see a lot of what I've been told are stink bugs. Even found them in camper while cleaning it here in Florida. Those I killed, the ones found in MD were sent out the door.

We were surprised to find a campground INSIDE the Washington beltway. Near 95 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Greenbelt is a beautiful park. Lots of trails, picnic areas and camping. There is a central dump station and water available around the camping areas. But no water or electric hookups. This time of year very few visitors staying in the campground. It's close to Metro stations, easy to go sight-seeing in D.C. We saw deer wandering around the camping area. The shower/bath rooms are clean with good hot water. This land was to be the second phase of a planned community, the fi

We stayed here on way home. nice and quiet, well ok except for I-95 traffic. But even sleeping in a hybrid it wasn't annoying to us. When we pulled in we realised we had stayed there years ago, maybe 20+or-, and the putput golf course is now the doggie park. I didn't take the leashes off the pups but did let them wander around awhile. My little buddy, Lucky, headed for the fence line to see about an escape hole. Bath/shower rooms very clean. We liked it.

At the first house where I groomed a dog today the owner and I spent several minutes talking about the Fort. They like to camp there. He had never heard of fortfiends.net but he has now :banana: Last time I groomed their dog it was his wife I saw and she talked about how much fun the Fort is at Halloween. Their twin sons Love it. Didn't know about ff at that time but now I do and so do they. :banana:

"You're right about Seafood Atlantic. On our campsite scouting trip, we went there for lunch. Very good and not as expensive as I thought it would be. I also like the outside seating so I can watch the activity in the inlet. Fun stuff. Maybe one day we can have a FF GG at Jetty. Wouldn't that be cool? " Yep, sure does sound cool

"You know what would be cool? If someone would go and take some photos of the Fiends leaving on the Dream! And hold up a Bon Voyage Fiends sign! Maybe we have a local Fiend who would be willing to do that?" Sorta what I had in mind to do. Don't know if I will be able to get over there but keep an eye out, you never know. What time does the ship leave? It's on Sunday, right?

TCD said, "I have often wanted to take a trip over to the east coast to watch the sunrise and then head back home to watch the sunset on the same day. I don't know why, but I think that would be cool." That's been on my agenda since moving to Florida in the 70's.

:banana: :banana: I love camping at Jetty Park!!! :banana: :banana: I'm an early riser also and enjoy the sunrises and all the birds eating and flying around on the beach. Tried to get a site for the Labor Day weekend but it was full. Wanted to go wave bye-bye to you Fiends as the Disney ship went by. Might go over anyway for the afternoon just to wave. I found out about this forum too late to join in the cruise fun, but want to "see" y'all off. The folks on the ships always look like they are already having fun. Sensei you are right about the viewing deck on top of the building. I h

I'll add my WOW to the compliments. Loved the up close and personal of the tiger. I love to go to AK in the winter when we get cold spells, the tigers seem to love the weather and are up and about. As you saw, they like rainy weather too. The sunset pics of the tree and from the dock are wonderful, what a talent--can't be JUST the camera. Thanks!

I have t-shirts from the Jamacian Sled Dog Team !!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: Even went to Nome for the finish in 2009 ;D TCD, as to the Redskins, there's always next year :argh: :rofl2:

Thanks for the welcome ;D as for the attemps - so I've noticed. TCD I've gotten to page # 15 in KampFireKim's report, will enjoy more tonight. Thanks for the recomendatation ;D

Nope the' fladogfan' is because I'm a dog groomer who also follows sled dog racing. Yeahyeah sled dogs in Florida??? I'm a member of a sled dog forum, I guess that's why I didn't lurk around here too long before hopping in the fun. Already know how much a person can come to care about friends and fiends over the internet. As to football, I'm a Washington Redskins fan. Grew up in Arlington, VA.

I am so glad I have found out about this forum and joined you. So much to read, I've just started with TRs. So this one is my first! Holy cow! What a great way to start! I have a lot to look forward to reading. It's taken me four or five sittings just to get thru all of this one. I might have to retire just to have time to read all that is already on FF. Loved all the chitchat, hi-jack attempts and snarky comments. Great photos TCD and reporting, thanks.

Well, I've been lurking for about three weeks now and want to join in the fun y'all have here. Looks like a very helpful and friendly, or should that be fiendly, group of Fort Fiends. :wave1: DH and I have a 'new to us' hybrid. I was reading about them on a couple of other forums and someone at RV.Net put a link to this forum. Very happy he/she did. I live very close to the Fort and have been using it as a safe place to walk, so to come across this forum has been fun.
