Are you people trying to get people to go or scare them away? The name sounds like a good movie or a bad documentary. Maybe a mix! So its perfect. I need to see if i want to take my daughter out of school for another week next year, i feel guilty doing it, but not that much. The main problem is i end up taking her out for 2 weeks! If i go ,i can pull my weight and take the smallest site. Yea, I'm man enough to say that..........mine isnt big. But it still pops up........
Sjm9911,
Again if the Gulf DIS Meet threads over the years (4 of them) are any indication, when we get together it's like visiting your in-laws out in the country for a week while the WIFI is down. Folks read the threads, we post pix and tell about the marvelously exciting things we do like .....
- the mental workout undertaken deciding where to do lunch
- the philosophical discussions about if it's morally acceptable to make a separate trip to take the trailer trash to the dumpster or not
- getting four guys together in the morning about 630am with their coffee and diet Coke to work on the 1,000 piece puzzle in complete and utter silence. It's a magical moment just after sunrise on the Gulf. The silence is elongated and natural, surreal in fact - then the spell is broken when garneska shows up and utters the words "good morning". <girls. cue the eye roll>
- and we laugh and sit and tell stories and jokes and talk about everyone who's not there.
The following year some folks show up to see it for themselves (or defend themselves, I don't know which).
Going to the Fort means that with the parks so close at hand, some of that laid back, easy going aspect would likely change. But I have decided to take the bull by the horns and go see "it" and do "it" while I still can. Make some daddy-daughter memories, have some fun, come laugh and talk with us, and you and I can talk about all the small, tight campsites and National Parks we can get into with our popups while the big boys listen. (and that goes for everyone - ya'll come!).

PS - although after SouthAlabama5er/Randy says he's going to need 4 sites, I'm inclined to bump up our allotment request.
