Default FOURTH OF JULY PLANS

What is everyone doing for the 4th of July?
(Ya'll don't seem that chatty around here, but what's YOUR PLANS if you care to share.)

My DH & I are taking the Trail Master & heading to Wind Creek Campgrounds, Lake Martin (Alabama) to stay for almost a week. DH will have to take the TT middle of this week to TRY to get a spot and then we'll go Fri. nite. They have 600+ lots, but will only reserve 150. It's first come-first serve for all the rest. Isn't that ridiculous?!! It should be the other way around. So our TT will be on vacation longer than we will!

Anyway, my Daughter & family will be staying in a friend's motorhome - they have a lake spot already next to the beach. We plan to take our ski boat so the grandkids can have fun in the sun.

And on the 4th, the Russell Family (they own the Jersees factory) put on a fireworks spectacular that rivals Disneyworld! Really! It's a full hour of one show after another. There will be sooooo many people there at the outdoor amphi-theater, and in cars lining both sides of the highway, and on the lake itself -- you could walk from boat to boat without touching the water! Should be a fun time!

We're headed down to Lake Barkley, Kentucky. The a place called Prizer Point Marina and Campground. This will be a week of fun with boating, fishing and camping. This will be our third year going there. This year will be even better as we will have family members from all over meeting us there. Should be a fun time for all.

This will be our first time pulling our boat with our new Endura. Not looking forward to launching the boat with the MH but hopefully we wont have any problems.

Hey Rob! That place must be fun since it's your 3rd year going. And it's ALWAYS better camping with family or friends along. But now, lanching a boat with a MH?!?!! I'm not so sure I would want to try that!!

nandj1966,

Well if is too difficult I just wait until my brother in-law gets there and use his pickup. I do want to try as this will be our primary tow vehicle for the boat when we do any camping. I have heard that it easier that it would seem to be. I don't think that it would be that hard as long as you have enough room to maneuver. I'll report back and let everyone know how hard it was.

Hey hyall! That menu sound delish! And I know what you mean about the traffic -- that's why we're going this Fri. & not coming back until next Fri. AFTER the 4th. We'll cook at the campground, too -- NOT going to try to go to a restaurant - traffic will be there as well!

Default 4th plans

Driving up about 3.5 hours north of Detroit to Mio on the 4th to spend a long weekend with friends. Camp for free on their property, tubing down the AuSable River and spending time making lies even more unbelievable.

We're home for the holiday! Just got back from a three day trip to familiarize ourselves with towing. We have a problem with the inverter, so the rig is back at Long View. While there they will fix the base of the shower door which fell off. Enjoy. Charlie
