I was going to try and talk my husband into tomorrow also.    He has to go to cape may first thing in the morning.    If I can convince my lunch date today, I am going to run down to the park and take another look at the site.

I was already going to try for arrival Thursday if I could get ready in time, so I'm still pushing for that.  Vik-King, you won't be lonely if you come up a day early. 

Just looking back at most of the forecasts this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the hype turns out to be minimal.

The park will be plowing/salting if needed. Let's do this!  :cheers:

Bonnie and I have added Thursday night to our reservation. We will be dropping the camper off during the day, but Bonnie still has to work Thursday evening so we won't be back until late.

Also forecasters are saying the snow will only stick north of interstate 78, so we should be ok, just bring heat

Hmmm  Maybe I can get my act together and show up Thursday night as well.  Gotta figure out the Nathan situation then.  Does he come with me or stay home, who would pick him up from school on Friday?  I need to pick my MIL up Thursday at 5:30......Or maybe I just stick with Friday arrival.  Either way, I don't plan to actually book it, I'll just show up and put my money in the box.  Crap, now I gotta find a check.  I don't handle the checkbook (DW doesn't trust me....we'd have a new camper)

Some of us are into geocaching.  We have hidden 6 temporary caches around the campground that you can try to find.  Some are difficult, others are easy. Grab a sticker from each cache and we'll see who gets to them all.  If you are new to geocaching, download the geocaching.com app to your smartphone and someone will help you.  The difficulty ratings are 1-5.  One being easy and five being difficult.  We will also have an easier version of this for the kids...in a treasure map style.  "Walk 20 paces from here"

1) N 40 12.988 W 75 47.201
Knock on wood you find this
difficulty 4

2) N 40 13.056 W 75 47.139
No tweeting from here
difficulty 2

3) N 40 12.933 W 75 46.971
This will be sure to brighten your day
difficulty 2

4) N 40 12.909 W 75 47.091
This looks like a good place to spend the night.
difficulty 1

5) N 40 13.009 W 75 47.188
Try to find this one without anyone seeing you.
difficulty 5

6) We'll give you the coordinates when we know them.
This one won't shock you.
difficulty 4

There will also be 2 gadget caches by the campfire.  Lets see who can get into them 🙂

Don't forget our 2 actual registered geocaches, TRI-EEE and BETWEEN THE NAKED TREES.

The weather channel is calling for 5 to 8 inches of snow on Friday. Our area(Poconos) is suppose to get 3 to 6 inches. I guess we will all be watching the weather over the next 24 + hrs.

Well, the car has run perfectly since I put the dry gas in it, and I'm going to make sure there's more in it before we leave Friday.  At worst, I can eliminate water in the gas as a cause if it dies again.  I might still be able to leave DC at least a little early, but I won't know till I see what jobs come in tomorrow and Friday.  It looks like we'll just have our 3 kids and the dog.  Alex's friend can't make it and cousin Kyra has a birthday party to go to on Saturday.  We'll be bringing a meat loaf to the potluck that my boss gave us the recipe to.

We just booked thursday night  we will get up there about 4 tomorrow. The kids are jumping for joy I'm giving them a camping PA snow day on friday and maggie is bringing her friend Courtney. Most people would back away with these kinds of conditions, but not canvas camper members we look for an excuse to add an extra day of camping. I also made it to the bakery that has peanut free stuff and got like 50 cup cakes for the campfire for friday night to go along with the assorted cookies. so we can all sit around in the snow at the fire and eat cupcakes and cookies  😀 If your traveling on Friday please remember slow and steady wins the race, not speed racer!

Just double checking. The gps to make sure it has the best route. From the west.  It got me comming pa turnpike to exit 298 morgantown/reading  Then pa-10 towards beckersville  then a few short turns arriving to 843 park road  Total miles from my home 243.  Does that sound right?

Vagov  I would recommend Morgantown exit of Pa turnpike to 10 South (about 1 mile towards Morgantown ) then left to 23 east go about 6-8 miles through Elverson to 345 north (dodge dealership on left) make a left and follow 345 for a few miles (about 5) to state park South entrance. It's all fairly straight until you make the left onto 345 then it twists and turns but it is well marked.

We are also keeping an eye on the weather, if prediction stays at 1-3 inches we'll be there.  If it goes up to 6+ then we'll have to see.  I'm trying to be optimistic and start packing tonight...fingers crossed that the weatherman is wrong and we get nothing.

Couldn't prebook our site due to problems at park.  We will be arriving tomorrow night  and paying at that time so don't let anyone snag our site for the night!  :-).

I spoke to the park this afternoon and they are expected no accumulation.  They will plow and treat the roads within the park if needed, even after normal hours.
