June PA GTG....Hail, Hail, the gang's all here!!

Postby rvgrammy1953 » Sun Jun 12, 2011 9:08 pm

Hi, all...Boy,it's been a busy day....Well, it didn't start out busy....just the usual stuff on Sunday....waiting for the "honey wagon" and straightening up around the camp site...Getting chairs and tables arranged for the group supper this evening....Irmi and Steve came to our site for morning chat and coffee/tea...Then about Noon they went down to the group area to wait for folks to come in....I, too, headed that way as just after they left, the guy from the office came over to let me know that 2 of my party had arrived and that he had sent them over to their sites....WooHoo, Liz and Nan had arrived safely.......then awhile later, as it began to rain like the dickens....Shirlv arrived...good thing Irmi had an umbrella, as I needed it to zip over to guide Shrilv to her site....the office was closed .... :o During this time, Gary, from the office rode his 4 wheeler over to let me know that a lady named, Joan, had called and that she would not be arriving until much later tonight.....Unfortunately, there is no cell service here in the CG, so I couldn't call her back....so, I'm hoping she makes her way here....I feel so bad, but that's part of living Really, really, way in the hills and the woods....

Anyways, we yakked for awhile and laughed alot....then we had supper here at our site.... Boiled Blue Crabs,sloppy joes, tossed salad, chips, and Irmi provided dessert....of course, lots more chatting and laughing....I gave a couple items for a souvenir, but I'll let the others tell you about them...(Yes, it involved Flamingos and items decorated in pink... :lol: ) I took photos and am going to try to upload them to PB in a little while, but can't say when I can get them posted.....Paulette was up for the day, and took photos, so am hoping she'll post them tonight....So please, be patient, as I'm the only one that is getting out online and that's iffy at best....it may be Thursday before the total story will be told of this GTG.... :roll: :lol:

Ernie's taking those who want to on the his tour of Gettysburg tomorrow....and those who have already toured are just planning to chill here....It's great to meet Nan, and to see Liz, Beth, Shrilv, and Paulette again....Margie and Pam/Buttons were here for supper, too....

Oh, I so hope this signal will let me post....Keep your fingers crossed... I'll try to post the narrative again tomorrow....

ON EDIT: Okay, my connection is not going to let me post photos here in the campground in the woods.. :roll: :cry: ..so, will have to wait until I can get out where it is better to do so...or until the others land at their next stop.... I'll try again tomorrow....but don't hold your breath.... :roll: :x

Just want to say that it was an honor to break bread, I mean crack crabs, with this fine group of folk! I'll try to get some of my pictures posted later today. Y'all enjoy the rest of your visit.

I'm glad yall are having a great time already. Hopefully by now Joan has made a safe arrival also. I was wondering about Liz and Nan, they sure have been quiet lately and we haven't received any messages from Belle about needing a bailout yet, so I guess all is good! :lol:

So sorry that I was the "no show". My daughter and I seriously underestimated how much time it would take to make this drive to upstate NY. We started out too late on Saturday and only got to north Georgia to camp. The next day we realized how far behind schedule we were and I called to tell the Gettysburg campground that I would arrive late - around 9:00pm. They said not to worry, just drive in, set up and pay them the next morning.

Sadly we encountered a serious accident on the highway which then set us back about an hour on top of our slow schedule. I realized we would not be there anytime near 9:30 and called the office again to leave a message telling them we would not make it.

This morning we arose at 5am and got on the road at 6am thinking we could make up some time and meet the gals for breakfast. In about 27 miles we were again at a stand still for about an hour. What should have been just a construction delay turned into another accident. By now we were again so far behind that we gave up on Gettysburg and just made a beeline for NY arriving at my sister's about 5:30pm.

The good news is that the new rig is performing well and I am becoming accustomed to driving it and setting up, etc. I am really bummed about my poor planning. In my SUV I would have been to my destination in two days, not three.

@#$%***** Signal and Photobucket..... :( :( Tried and tried, but no luck.....So, remembering that at times I can upload to Facebook when all else fails....So went to Facebook and uploaded yesterday's "Welcoming Supper" here....I already know some of you have seen them over there and if someone would volunteer, you have my permission to get them and post them here....I'm just giving up with the Photobucket while here this summer cause it and my iffy, slow, signal just don't get along.....Took more photos today and will work at them in the morning to Facebook.....

Anyways, in the mean time....Today's activities had Ernie taking Irmi, Steve, Nan & Liz on his tour of Gettysburg....I'm sure someone took photos and that when they get internet they will post them.....Shirlv, Beth, and I stayed back and chilled....with Beth & I doing a load or 2 of laundry....when the touring folks got back we all had some snacks and chat.....meeting again this evening for our "Pot Luck".......Tomorrow is the Winery tour and our own wine & cheese tasting....Beth heads back to "Lake in Wood" and work....

So glad Joan and daughter are safely in upstate NY....Guess Murphy's Law did happen.....Well, just know you are always welcome to stop and visit when ever you are in the area....

Okay, I'm tired and headed to bed....More tomorrow.... ;) :D

Okay, if i can remember how to do this I'm going to post my few pictures. Sorry that I wasn't able to do them yesterday, but yesterday wasn't a good day.

Image

Lori and Ernie's front porch.

Image

The fire ring!

Image

The dining room.

Image

The Sultan!

Image

Chatting it up.

Image

Nan telling a gooder!


Image

The dinner procession.

Image

Beth arrives (and chats with tree!)

Image

Nan and Steve cracking crabs!

Image

sorry for the blurry Peaches!

Image

Oh look, it was really Liz she was chatting with!

Image

Shirl, and most everyone else's backsides. :lol:

Image

And, our most gracious hostess!

I am so jealous that everyone else go to stay and I had to come home Sunday evening. Of course, I still don't have my rig back...maybe Wednesday they tell me.

Hope you all are enjoying. Sure looks like lots of good food!

I want to see the pictures from around the campfire!
