Howdy!
Recovering from surgery and looking for things to do...
Thought I'd "pop" in and see who is still around.
Haven't been able to camp in about six years now. Don't even have a tow vehicle anymore!
I'm scared to ask how many have passed away since I was last here... :(
Still giggle that...
RotNMom, we don't have a hitch installed on the new van yet, hence no trailer.

Just a quick shout out to chileankj who sent me a "How are you?" message because of all of the saber(sp?) rattling in North Korea.
Everything's fine here in South Korea.
We haven't camped in over a year because of our second campus, so FINALLY we went... in a tent. A big tent. LOL

Ask them what they are going to do WITHOUT telling them the above. Then you'll know if they are cons/idiots/etc. or not.
