You will be staying until Saturday morning right?

Bill & Jerry; Looking at the map, you could also get 140 & 141. You'll still be next to several Barths and have more room all the way around.

Whatever you decide, when you get do a site number, let us know so I can update the overhead shot.

Several of us will arrive Thursday.

Jim & I are coming in on Thurs & leaving on Sun.
Tere

Jim and Tere, have you been practicing your go-cart skills, David and I are ready for some competition, and don't forget I have first, second and third place medals. Changed my mind about trophies.

Ya gotta win it first

I don't know our site number yet. I received my receipt after which I emailed Ed to let him know we were with the Barth group. Hmm, maybe I didn't ask him for a site number, I will get back to you...
Billy T

we're in for friday, maybe thursday and they put us in spot 141: tho we will be in a sob, Pleasure Way 21' Mercedes diesel on Sprinter chassis. Looking fwd to seeing y'all. stringmann

Stringman don't worry too much about the SOB, I will also be in mine. I invited my Mom to "go camping" with us and my Barth is not big enough for three.

But I still own a Barth and will be the rolling pit crew for another one going down the road on the 17th.

I will trade my spot for Mary's Barth. There is no since in putting an ugly duckling SOB in a row with so many Barth Swans.

Hey Guys, I have been trying to get a site number assignment from Ed but this is the email I got. Can anyone help?
Hi Billy,

We are sorry, but unable to divulge that information
for privacy reasons. Perhaps you can call your
friends/relatives and ask them.

Have a nice day!

According to the people at Raccoon Mountain they have assigned you site number 140. If you need to change it, look at this map and get another site number.

Here's a summary:

17 - Jim and Tere, '85 28' Regal
22 - Mary Ray, '85 33' Regal
132 - Sky (Ray & Anne McHan), '90 32' Regency
133 - Carl Flack, '88 33' Regal SE "The Toy"
134 - Tom Johns, '90 36' Regency

136 - Doug Bywaters, Surrogate for '84 28' Regal
137 - Rusty, Maggie and Casey, '94 28' Breakaway "StaRV II"
138 - Gary Carter, '92 30' Breakaway
139 - Ol' Betsy (Betsy & Carl Feren) '92 30' Breakaway
140 - billyt53 (Billy & Helen Thibodeaux) '94 36' Sovereign
141 - stringmann (Jerry Aull) '0x 21' Pleasureway

Cabin #3 (a/k/a "Water[ing]hole #3", for those who remember the 1967 movie...) - Bill N. Y. '91 33' Med Lab (Being left at home...)

10 Barths, 12 Barth owners (of 13 Barths) and one former Barth owner (stringmann). Of those, I've met 4 - Sky, Carl Flack, Nick Cagle, and Bill N Y.

THURSDAY NIGHT DINNER
Donna and I and my son, Tim would like to invite everyone to have dinner with us Thursday evening. We, (I should say Donna and Tim since I can't boil water without scorching it) will be serving a good old Louisiana favorite. Jambalaya with sausage and a green salad. Please let me know if you will be there in time for dinner that night so I can give the chefs a count.

Optional Booray lessons maybe available after dinner. Got to raise money to pay for the go kart driving lessons.

Can't wait.
Nick

Due to severe Colitis I will have to pass on the dinner invite, and you will be throwing your money away on driving lessons

I am really looking forward to this get together and meeting all the people and seeing the varied array of camping vehicles.

Wish I could make the December get together, but don't think I can swing that one.

Nick, count me in for the dinner. I'll also be bringing plenty of Jamaican Hellfire Sauce in case Tim and Donna are too timid...

I'm planning to make some homemade French onion soup, maybe some beer bread, and stuff for frizzled green beans for another dinner. Also maybe some spaghetti sauce.

I may also make some gazpacho if the hot weather holds up.

And of course, the ingredients for sidecars as well as provisions for a nip of Weller's Centennial and Maker's Mark (to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that drinkable bourbon is a.) From wheat, not rye, and b.) Made in Kentucky, not that Other Place.
