Norteast GTG update..

[travelingfools]

Thanks to some legwork by sweeny153, looks like we have a tentative location for our get together.
http://www.rockviewvalley.com/index.html
It has a rally area that has 35 sites and a pavillion.
In his msg to me he wrote...

"I went to Rock view and a few other places in the same area    yesterday. It is a nice family campground. It has a pool, playground, rec. room laundry etc.
The rally field is a nice open grassy field off to the side of the main area. It has hookups for 35 units, water, electric and fire ring.  I didn't check the size of the electric hookup. The dump station is in another area.

There is a good size pavilion in the center with a small fire pit.

There is golf across the road.
There is canoeing and rafting on the Delaware.
Delaware River National Recreation area.
Milford PA (lots of antiques and artist types)
New Jersey State Parks.
See list http://www.rockviewvalley.com/areaattractions.htm "

I cant wait to taste that World famous travelingfools BBQ on Sat.

Tested out the pool here today..works perfectly.. There is a friendly gentleman with a Tiki bar just off the rally field. He's "open" till 10..or 3am..depending on his mood..interesting place. Sort of a byob or he'll serve and you "tip". .lol...nice campground run by nice folks here...We need a few more bus's here. I wonder if this is how Jack started out..lol. So, this being the 5th day of our 10 day trip we've decided a few things. First and foremost we need to spend the money for gen and a/c. Next we need a tow setup. It was not fun leaving here with the bus before we setup to go get grocery's. Other than that we are having a ball and the bus is running great ! Gotta go..I hear it's 5 o'clock somewhere !

We had our first taste of the World Famous Travilingfools BBQ. I can see why it's world famous. We are all having a great time. Will post pictures after the weekend.

Well, the first annual Northeast GTG was a big success. We ended up with 4 buses. We also had some folks drop by who own a bus, but couldn't camp for the weekend. New friendships were made, we learned new tips from each other and plans were made for next years event ! Ill post some pics once i get home later today
