Don't forget my star on site 38!

Don't worry Jimmy you will get a gold star!

Dang, THAT's a gazeebo!!! :rock:

I know, right! I want that in my backyard at home!

 

[KartRacer31]

Hopefully the algae bloom will dissipate before we get there. I have new speedos i want to wear...

LOL! Please do so at night, in the dark... at some other location. LOL

Hi Karl! FCW is on the calendar. At least a day visit on Saturday as of right now.

:thumbsup:

....I'm also a little sad that the worlds largest tarp has been called home to it's final resting place. But the gazeebo looks almost as sturdy.

If all works out, I'm going to do my best to make it there Friday night and Saturday night. Heck, it can't POSSIBLY rain as much as the last one......can it?

LOL yes almost as sturdy as the Super Tarp... but not quite as large! And now that we have the Grand Gazebo you know that is our insurance that it will not rain a drop this time!

[Stan671]

And if we have a clear sky on Saturday night, we can drive over to the NJAA.ORG observatory at Voorhees State Park for their Open House from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm Saturday night.

I have invited a few other friends that will be attending the weekend - some are confirmed and some are still maybes for now.
