Well went to run to the store before hooking up the camper and ended up at the repair shop. They think my front caliper is hanging up.

  It was great seeing everybody yesterday. Paula and I had a GREAT time. We are hoping for no snafus for October.

I think Bad Seed's luck rubbed off. We got caught in traffic in Scranton for 45min. Made it as far as Painted Post, NY about a hour away from home. Hit a pot hole and broke the passenger side leaf spring in the middle which it the axle slide back. It jammed into the frame destroying the tire but not blowing it. Managed to stay out of the guard rail (on a curved bridge) and get the mess onto the shoulder. Jacked up the camper and put blocks of wood between the axle and the frame. Used a ratchet strap to pull the axle forward and bind it to the frame and blocks. Limped it off the Expressway and tightened everything. Took off for home on back roads. Took a total of 5 1/2 hours. Home sweet home. Will reassess damages tomorrow with pictures.
  Now for the good stuff. Thank You to thingette 1s sister and Viking for running this rally. Nice job. Thanks to Mdbaird for cooking and having the patients to ride with me and not kill me. It was good to see people we knew and meet new people. Looking forward to September in Knoebels.  Chief.

Glad you made it back home safely, Chief. The stories you will all tell next time!

Want to thank everyone as well, food was great Saturday night, I'm still full. I also want to give extra thanks to Becky, the girls had a great time with the scavenger hunt and the crafts at dinner. See you at Knoebel's.

Best Regards,
Norm

Thank you to Becky and Jonathan. You did a great job.
Jan & I enjoyed seeing everyone again and some new faces as well.

This rally was so much fun ;D  It was awesome to see so many families out camping and getting to know one another.  I'd like to say thank you to each and every one of you who participated. 

The kids all had such a fun time together riding bikes, doing the scavenger hunt, making clothespin critters, playing games, and hanging out both on the beach and around the campsites.  These are things my memories are made of from my camping as a kid, and now we are all making those memories for our children too. 

Thanks to our campfire "host sites" each evening, Steven and Christine for Thurs eve, Jonathan for Fri eve, and Barb & Bruce for Sat eve.

Thanks to all who brought and shared kayaks and geocaching knowledge.   

Thanks Jonathan for being such a great co-moderator, and for providing so many great door prizes. 
Thanks to Joe for the great Canvas Camper contributions to the door prizes too and for the am coffee setup. 

Thanks for all the yummy food everyone!  And to Mike for bringing the big grill.

I have tons more pics, just had to go back to work, and have not had too much time to pick out the best ones to post yet. 

We heard lots of "lets do this again", and I think there is a link for that already. 

And the weather was good too.  Hope everyone has a great rest of summer, see you next time.

Sounds and looks like it was a great trip!

For the road warriors with troubles.  I'll just put a plug in here for AAA premier RV.  It's not cheap, but it gets the tow vehicle and the camper towed 200 miles.  For an extra $30/year I added towing for the truck and trailer to my regular insurance as well.  I"m quite handy and have plenty of experience getting hurt vehicles home on my own, but I wanted to make sure I had plenty of coverage in case we get stranded with two kids in the middle of nowhere.
