Gathering of A Frames McNair Campground, Carlyle, IL

Just back from another good time. I think we had 15 units. Arrived Thursday morning at 9:15 AM with hopes on getting a site. This is a small campground and at this time of the year is non-reservable. We were able to get a site and there were only a couple left. 
Fall colors were in abundance.







As always we enjoy the other people in the group. What an odd bunch we are. But we have a good time.












Pot luck was excellent as always. Thanks to Gary & Loren for doing the grilling.










I had a little cold so I thought I should be sure to eat a lot. I figured it couldn't hurt.



Thanks to John, Jan & Wendy for setting this up and organizing everything.

Carol's retirement is not good for my diet

After a week of being out and about we got home today. Carol made me a nice lunch and dinner. And she made an apple pie. She said she doesn't have to worry about going back to work so she has time. I may get used to her being retired.


Piney Campground, Dover, TN Land Between the Lakes

An ex-Aliner owner, Dennis Archer, has a rally every October and he opens it up to all. There were about 42 campers at this rally; Scamps, Casitas,  5 Aliners and 1 Chalet. Beautiful campground, weather was good and we had a great time.

We had an excellent site on the lake.





We looked at Scamps, 5th wheel Scamps, Casitas. All a little different, just like Aliners.  We had Tech Sessions, Camping Myths, a Pot Luck, Campfires, Talks from Officials on the Land Between the Lakes, etc. A lot of things to keep us busy.














Hawn State Park, MO

Carol retired last week and decided we should go somewhere. We went to Hawn State Park for a couple days. Nice weather and we just relaxed enjoyed it.




   I ate good and we got a little bike riding in.
