We have the Big sites 118 & 120 Freddie & Carl & Fam are on 119 &117

I also have 108 which backs up to the big site. Steph cant go so, if somebody needs a spot we can split 106. Let me know

Somebody asked about pets. Pets are allowed at Belleplaine. CCC campsites 126, 128 and 130 are "Pet Friendly"
Check http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/pet_friendly_camping.html for requirements

Please keep in mind that there will be lots of little kids at this event. 100% control of your pet, at all times is imperative.
Thanks for your cooperation.

  Unfortunately, I have to attend a wedding with the husband, for people I've never met. ( Shouldn't that exempt me from needing to attend..... so that I could go camping??   :confused04:;   lol)

Ohooo, and here I thought that Jack was coming as the Pimp Master, didn't realize he changed to a Park Ranger.  Geese  #banghead  

BTW, saw the long range weather forecast for next weekend Jenns Great Pumpkin Campout.
50's during the day 20-30's at night, might just be a 3 dog night so bring some extra woolies to keep yourself and the kiddies warm.

 And don't forget your costumes, and the Kids Tricker Treats. Some decorations etc, etc.

Oh, and Regardless how much the Ranger disguised as Jack begs for candy don't feed Ranger Jack. Joann says it makes him frisky

Plus I just checked the website and it's still unbooked. Cough, cough, hint, hint. Oh-oooo never mind you won't get it, forgot your a Blonde  ?/banghea?/ .   #@rofl3

 Matt.
 Yea-aaaaaa you want site #108 not #109... Site 109 is on the wrong side of the tracks, and a tuff neighborhood lots of dangerous critters in that area, Horny Toads, Slippery Lizards', and creepy crawling Newts etc.
 Site #108 is the one you want and in the area and adjoining where we'll at. Actually your be Jacks back door neighbor.  clap2-*

Post by: matt on October 25, 2013, 08:16:00 am


  Thanks Shawn!  I was thinking you  had plans for 108......





I also have 108 which backs up to the big site.





    However, ......  I was thinking of # 109 for a few reasons.........

 1) With site 109 being a little farther from the group, I would spare the group of Ted's chainsaw snoring...  &sleep&    (- he says he does not snore anymore  #@rofl3 )
2)  Since I love my  40sleep3 - AND  if he wakes me up a number of times  bugey-- -                       

  then

3)       (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/1041.gif)          (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/maniac.gif)     


4)  No one in the club should have to waste their time in court saying they DID NOT see me drag a big bundle of something deep into the woods, after I claim Ted left the tent in the middle of the night and must have gotten
         lost.  (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/bliss.gif)




 But then again if I took #108,  and I boot Ted out,  &$hmmthin_+     I could send him a-knocking -over to my neighbor Jack..............  byeby.,

 I called the park office this morning  - they said don't bother reserving a place with so many open, and save the $9.00 - they said just drive around pick out a site, come back and pay for it - so that sounds good - seems like some nice choices are available... 104, 108, 109..... 104 does sound nice from your description Shawn...thanks.

Post by: matt on October 26, 2013, 04:38:52 pm

             Well, I will have to definitely pass on 104...........................   byeby.,   bawlin)0

 On the way to the campout, we were encountering very high winds, pushing the car and trailer around a bit  - I think we hit a super-cell updraft. We heard a crack noise and Katie and I both saw the car-tent  flying way behind the car - it actually cleared the trailer. I  saw it rotating in the air, and thought I saw it hit a car following us, but could not be sure, as I had to look for a place to pull off the highway. Finally did pull over and commented to Katie that is somehow cleared the trailer, she said she saw that and it was flipping in the wind up in the air, hit the ground and a car ran over  it.  I do not think it hit a car.. at least no one pulled over...I ran down the side of the highway - it was quite a distance........ and was able to pull it out from the middle of the highway off the side of the road. Ted came up and was able to get the legs off the road- (which mount to the car's rain gutter and  canopy bottom wood platform),  apparently the anchors for the legs  ripped through and out the bottom of the platform, and were mangled. Two legs remained on the platform.
  Ted and Katie stayed on the shoulder with the tent while I drove all the way back home to get the jeep ( tent could no longer be put on Bob), got the jeep, and to make a long story short, got the tent home. Quite a few rips in my new cover, see a small rip in the tent material, and a little tear in the screen. Also the new platform I built for the dressing room is ruined as well as the legs...

  We are so fortunate that something of this size did not hit a trailing car, and cause an accident - or a series of accidents............ everyone here is fine...

  Needless to say did not get to go camping, was really looking forward to it, we all had a ton of food cooked, candy etc... but this bad thing happened....... bawlin)0  bawlin)0  bawlin)0  bawlin)0  bawlin)0 bawlin)0  bawlin)0   it was rather frightening....

 So sorry could not make it, everyone here is upset


JUST BEFORE LEAVING..........
