Had to call in but the reservation is confirmed. I'm assuming the pavilion has the tables needed for the dinner?

Nope, sorry  🙂 - creamed tomato bisque soup is on the menu for Friday

I love tomato soup. I'll just have to wait until January for the mashed potatoes.  🙂

I was just getting on to say we had #133, but it looks like you beat me to it, Joe.

See you all tomorrow around dinner time.

So very jealous of those that can go. Looks like great weather. On the flip side, I should be able to get all the outside work from storm damage done today and tomorrow and have the utility trailer loaded to make a run to the incinerator (the yard waste dump site is connected to it). I have to work Monday and Tuesday, so this is the weekend to get it all finished. Should be interesting to see how many pounds of limbs and weeds I end up with (have to weigh in and out and pay per the 1/4 ton).

(Maybe I'll do camp driveway. It's still camping, right?)

Have a very awesome weekend!!  😀  See you in April..

We are home safe, great time... cold mornings but beautiful days, t-shirt/ sweatshirt weather.
Dinner was excellent with turkey, lamb roast, stuffing, mash and sweet potatoes, beans, a lot of tasty pies, apple cobbler and much more.  Sounds like everyone enjoys the Carlisle War Museum.  Thanks everyone for the help to make it a great weekend and another success.

If anyone lost eyebrows or other hair from the fire... my bad!  :lmao:
I don't have pictures or video of the big fire but others will hopefully post them.

Joe - you did it again, another great rally. It was nice seeing everyone, including Mick & Liz and Rusty & Paula & Zack who all stopped by for a visit on Friday.  We were talking on the way home about what great friends we've made through camping, in large because of the successful rallies that you've put together.

Thanks for teaching "my Joe" how to winterize the camper, you saved me the time and $$ of taking it to the local dealer  🙂

We had a wonderful trip to Pittsburgh this past weekend. Our trip detour on Friday night to visit all of you campers made the weekend even more special.  Dawn, thanks for the picture of your mashed potatoes.  I licked the phone(Just kidding).

The weather a week before the rally didn't cooperate and we moved to a different campground last minute. Western Village RV Park were excited to have us and very accommodating.  🙂 Thanks!

Here are pictures on their facebook page of our Thanksgiving Weekend.
