First Vacationer UFO rally

[-Gramps-]

Well, maybe it was a small rally for the Vacationer UFOers but it's a start!

Gary, Janis, Diane and myself had a great time at the Forest Lake Thousand Trails resort in Mocksville NC this past four days. We drove down together and camped. The main form of entertainment was shopping for all the stuff Gary and Janis need in their first rv. So that meant a trip to Wal-Mart and Camping World in Statesville NC. We also visited Lexington NC and viewed the Pigs on Parade also known as The Boars are Back in Town. This is an artist exhibition of life size fiberglass pigs all done up in different ways like the Painted Ponies in Arizona or the I guess Bulls in Chicago or the Mermaids in Norfolk. We grilled out every evening on my new Chargriller, burgers, chicken, country ribs! Ate the best Pimento Cheese in the world (Conrad and Hinkle home made in Lexington), had fresh white corn on the cob along with some very cold beer. We came back on Sunday just in time for Diane and I to attend The Diana Krall concert in Portsmouth Va with my brother and his wife. All in all it was a very nice four days.

Right on man...sounds like you had a GREAT time! That is what it's all about isn't it?

I'll be leaving this Thursday for my first trip through Yellowstone, albeit not in quite as nice of a style as you!

Jon,
You may not be "stylish" - but your way is Camping!

BTW, we'll be stopping in to see you for service 9/21 on our way back from Alaska.

Frank, Many happy miles to both you and Bette. I'm sure you'll need at least an oil change on your return trip.

I hope that you will Blog your trip here like you did last year. See "My Blog" and create a new blog for yourself and we'll be waiting for your travel adventures.

Jon,

Bear boxes are required in Yellowstone but they are provided in camp grounds. Gramps bear box is expensive.

Bear Box as in lunch box? Yea, mine is a bit expensive but having stayed for years in the cheaper one (and having a bear visit my nylon box!) I think I will stick with the bigger one.
