MetalDad 33 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 We had a blast playing in the Fort part too. Did you go to the house that has all the memorabilia? That was pretty cool to read about the history of the Fort. We spent a lot of time at this section. Course we also managed to amble on over to the little snack stand for some ice cream :DWe've hit that snack bar often! Missed the museum, gotta go when it's just the wife and kids.What a fun report! Fort DeSoto looks like a really great CG. It reminds me a little of Hunting Island, SC.I love your sound system. Little Tykes lasts forever. We are also Dr Thunder drinkers. Viva Store Brands!As great as this TR is so far, this nearly killed me.... Funniest TR moment EVAHHH! :lmao1: :heart:Cool! Thanks. That's big company considering the TR's on the site. It was a lot funnier after it happened. You never really savor the moment whilst it occurs!Looks good from here MDThanks!I'm loving the report! How hard is it to book for non FL folks?No, it's easy. You can book six months in advance online. We just get an extra month as a county resident. For instance, you can book up until June online. I can call or go in person and book July before it's available online, which would be next month.Great pix. Keep them comingThanks, next installment has some interesting pix.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 There were still lots of sites left, but the full open water views were taken up for the weekends. But there were still plenty of partial water views [screened by a tree or some low level foliage] It was good that ours was a mid-week visit.Looking forward to more pics!

kampfirekim 260 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Cool! Thanks. That's big company considering the TR's on the site. It was a lot funnier after it happened. You never really savor the moment whilst it occurs!Yes. You've hit the big time! Quite right! It is never funny until the shame and humiliation have faded away.

BTW, are those grey capri sweatpants you're wearing? :clint:Very Nice. Thanks! I wouldn't expect that from you, all things considered. The truth of the matter is that I'm not a tall dude at 5'7" :rofl2:I think they are!And MD is busting me for wearing Mom jeans?TCDYou labeled them Mom Jeans! Just using the vernacular! Those shorts are fashionably sheared sweatpants, embroidered with a USF Bulls logo.They are my favorite camping pants, and you'll see them in most of my TR's. What do you expect from a dude that wears a 29" length?But, they are comfortable, as I'm sure you're mom jeans are!http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mom-jeans/229048/ :rofl2: They are mancapris.Nice!

MetalDad 33 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yes, but you'd need jeggings, the anti-mom jeans! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 MD,I don't know how you should take this, but I don't see nothing wrong with those cool capris! :jumpforjoy :jumpforjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The only thing I've seen funnier than meggings or jeggings occured on my last business trip to NYC. I saw a football-build, at least 6' 5" male African American walking down the street wearing a lime green leotard and matching tutu. I kept telling myself he was on Broadway. Or off Broadway. Or off-off Broadway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok Grumpy AKA Cindy~~ 9 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 We went to Fort Desota on our way back from Disney in September. I really liked the park and enjoyed taken Maggie to the dog beach. We do not have a dog beach close by and she loves the water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I appeciate the support. I would have thought the purple ff shirt would have drawn everyone off the pants, but no... Buncha sickos around here!The only thing I've seen funnier than meggings or jeggings occured on my last business trip to NYC.

I was wondering if you'd eventually be around! Did you pick up some Hat while it was on sale?We went to Fort Desota on our way back from Disney in September. I really liked the park and enjoyed taken Maggie to the dog beach. We do not have a dog beach close by and she loves the water. How cool. We didn't get to go to the dog beach.

MetalDad 33 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Day Three continued:Music: Stones, all dayDrink: Nothing, just some empty cans!Smell: Fresh sea air and old German AutosAt this point, I had just run up to the top of the fort by way of this long stairway.I had to get this picture as part of this TR. For a little trip back in time.Ya’ see Timmy, several years ago, MetalDad plied his skills as a full-on tantrum throwing lead singer of a metal band, back in my MetalHopeI’mNotADadYet days.We took a photo on these very steps a mere 25 years ago.MetalDad and the boys at Ft. DeSoto circa 1987… We’ll call this Hairway To Steven.Good days back then. Traveling around the south, kicking ass. Full of ideas and ideals...capricious youth!From way up here, there’s a great view of the Gulf of Mexico.See? No Oil!Either the lookout, or a gun turret!The roof of the actual fort has sand and vegetation to fulfill its clandestine nature.As a result of wind erosion, there is a mesh screen over the ground to keep it intact.It looks weird, but it works. Here…As we made our way toward the other side of the fort, the ramp was blocked off.And, I’m not a rule breaker! So I would never hop the Bob’s Barricade and amble down the zig-zag path down to the bottom. And, how’d my sister get down there so quick?The reason it was closed was a giant crack that zig-zagged the whole length of the walkway.It literally looked like it was falling off the side of the slope.Poor engineering whoever laid the concrete.Back on our bikes, we headed down the path towards the north beach.By this point I’m really starting to feel the effects of a cheap bike seat.My old comfy seat was destroyed by polar bears, so I have a hand-me-down kid’s seat.A new one’s on the list, but for now, I pretty much had to finish this ride whilst standing.We got to the parking lot of the North Beach and Holy Farfegnugen!The VWs!And a freaking zillion of them!None of them recognized me in my clothes, so, whew!We came upon this guy that had a pretty cool vintage camper that he was getting ready to restore.We chatted with him for a bit.This is a 1948 Spartan Mansion. So cool…More VW’s. Some were restored, and some were blank canvas ready to roar back to life.Time to head back. To my right, the Gulf of Mexico, to my left the entrance to Tampa Bay.My nephew and daughters.Old Glory from the other direction!We got back to the CG, and of course after all that exercise, had to get an ice cream.On the back porch of the store, I peered over the railing to see a hammerhead shark swimming in the shallows.Only in Florida!Joe Fishbreath had a cast net, and pulled him in.That kid kept yelling “Kill it! Kill it!”That’s how Dahmer started Dad!The goils enjoying some Edy’s!From there, we pedaled back to the camper to check on the rest of the gang, get freshened up, and prepare for the evening’s activities.BTW, I just read in the local paper about the Tampa Bay Lightning Staff camping out here this week. Their only complaint was "nosy raccoons!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
