I have the campground rates sheet, and fliers on file is anyone would like to see them.

Also those of you who wish to stay at a hotel the
Lisbon Inn is just a few miles from the campground.

Please feel free to ask questions.

Thanks for putting it together, should be fun.

Gary,

I know I said months earlier that we would be attending but as things are we will not be doing so this year. Everyone have a good time and enjoy yourselves. We will be camping here locally in NE Indiana with the family (entire extended family) so we will be thinking of you folks playing in diesel land.

Uh? :***: What's the meaning of this. How can I stick my new light saber up your exhaust pipe if your not their to take the abuse you so badly need? Seriously, what gives?

Well we (The Pruitt Mob) normally get together in the latter portion of July for a family camping weekend, but my nephew has started working (just turned 16 this past year) and has to work every weekend from now until he can manage to get fired (I have faith in him he won't make it past next month) but anyhoo... He was given the option of having the 4th off, so he jumped on it, then my sister (his mother) said cool then I'll take my vacation that week, so that meant that the camping weekend got moved... So the rest of us adjusted our schedules to mate with theirs.

We will be at a local state park with the rest of the real winners from the gene pool (state parks seem to attract the crazy folks on holiday weekends for some reason). For example last year over Memorial Day a couple buddies and myself pulled up lawn chairs to watch two stellar upstanding folks from the local gene puddle (can't call this one a pool - even using the word puddle is an exaggeration) compete in the knife throwing event - which was sponsored by Coors Light . See what they do is toss knives at each other's feet from about 12-15 feet from each other - sadly neither one of them won the knife toss - came close but no cigar. If nothing else these guys were good entertainment. So I figure what the heck we'll go see what they have to offer this year, I'm hoping for a William Tell event have not seen that one yet.

Now don't get me wrong I'm no shining pillar of the community by any means... Heck we burnt a station wagon one year in a state park while trying to start a campfire . Pushed the burning carcuss off into another site while running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Oh we were the talk of the campground that family outing Blackened the windows on the car, had ********* cloud of smoke rolling. It was a sight to see let me tell ya...

 

[Agnem]

Family commitments. What to do? Well, you'll be missed. I'm sure we'll talk about you like you were there.

 

[Russ]

OK Travis. Sorry you can't make it. You will be missed. Russ

 

[Freight_Train]

[ericboutin]

Well I'm still tore up about it! Anybody else going that stays up till 4 a.m. B.S.ing by the fire and cigars??!! And there goes my buddy!!
Oh well can definately understand the family commitments - maybe the boy will quit and the plans will change?! We'll miss yah Travis - maybe the next one!!

 

[Diezel_Cowboy]
