Travisma 1,317 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Our first visit to the Fort was the fall of 77. Just me and my wife on a road trip from NY in a do it ourselves conversion van. We fell in love with the place and had a blast. I remember the grocery truck, peacocks, petting zoo, swimming in the lake, resting in the hammocks, riding the train, and the Marshmallow Marsh excursion, walking the Wilderness/Swamp Trail Full deli's at the stores, made to order sandwiches, and the Meadow TP had a lot of groceries. Getting to see the Electrical Water Pageant for the first time. The tram was a great way to get around, the log trash cans and wooden benches made the place special, lots of trees and bushes between sites, you couldn't see your neighbors even if you tried.. We went to the Luau at the Poly, back then you usually got reservations for the same night if you booked in the morning. Rode in the front of the monorail. Got real good at figuring 3 A's and a B = an E ticket. (or whatever the ratio was). Not having to look out for kids trying to run you over in golf carts! Thanks for the photos. Brings back a lot of good memories I regret not taking any at the Fort. I have a few slides from the MK that we scanned and made photos of. I'll have to locate and post them.

Starbuc71 162 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I hope you do a report on it because I am thinking about going up there next summer.Sorry, no report. I still have all the pics from my thanksgiving trip that I was going to do a report on. Not enough time to do the whole photobucket thing. If you could just post pics with a click then I might have got it done. I know this is not the topic to discuss this...sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 If he doesnt, I will. Will be at Elkmont next week. Can't wait.Elkmont is an awesome campground. Wife won't camp there though due to no services (power/sewer). Enjoy the river that runs through it. It was the kids favorite time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtguy007 74 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 It has always been my favorite. The amenities are easy to deal with if you have a bathroom in your camper. Get a portable poop tank (for just grey water) and an inverter generator (really quiet). Then go enjoy elkmont. My wife is content with that arrangement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
