Ed, Arnold is makimg reservations May 21 to 27, 2020 & we wil take site #4., but not available right now. Was their a decision on Dismeet 2020 @ the Fort. Do we make our own reservations? Will we have a contact that you have been speaking to for a group/loop sites & give them our info & $$.
Okay Gloria you and Arnold can have site #4. I will get with you in the future to work out the how-to's and what-for's. It's not available because I still have both it and #5.
And yes, we did ask for some contract changes on the Oct 2020 DISMeet and received those as of yesterday. I will have some info to post on the main Camping Board Sunday or early next week with details. You will make your own reservations on a form and send that to the
Travel Agent managing our group. One night's deposit is required. Watch for details on the main Camping board probably early next week. But it is a "GO" and there is no rush to make the reservation since we have an acceptable contract now.
So last night Bishoparc and DW had folks over to their site as he posted above to chat and cook a "camping cone" which I did. It was a sugar rush! It's a waffle ice cream cone filled with marshmallow, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips, and wrapped in foil and placed in the fire coals for a few minutes only. It was hot and gooey and delish! And our hosts have a beautiful waterfront campsite.
This morning despite a brief break for a few raindrops from a passing overhead cloud, the 1,000 piece puzzle was completed about 830am. Me, Southalabama5er, Bishoparc-and-DW polished it off. Glad we had all the pieces.
A big shout out also goes to PaHunter's DW who brought us the banana chocolate chip bread every morning they were here. I came to look forward to that (chilled and pre-sliced) in the morning along with my diet Coke.
My biggest decision of today is where to go for lunch. tiggerdad, Gulf Island Grill is in the running as is King Neptune's. I also finished my book yesterday and it was very enjoyable to sit outside at my site in the afternoons and read while listening to the birds and wave at folks biking and walking by. Makes me wonder why I don't do that at home... This afternoon I will be packing up as much as possible in order to get away as early as possible with the goal of getting back home by noon Saturday.
I've greatly enjoyed this year's Gulf DISMeet #4 and it sounds like a relative few of us may still be here next year. We've met some new DIS folks and did miss the those that had to cancel close in (Mike and Arnold/Glo).
So not saying farewell yet but by this time tomorrow we will be halfway home.
Ed
PS - I heard a rumor that Patrick was cooking tonight.
