I brought a nice air mattress, but was completely dismayed when it went flat the first night. It wasn’t till I got home that I found that there was a plug on the backside that was not plugged in. Duh.
A reliable and inexpensive approach is to buy a double bed sized eggcrate mattress pad (or steal one from your bed). Double it and place it under your sleeping bag. That should get you through the night.
Aldi’s has been selling camp cots for $20. That and an egg crate pad works nicely and has the advantage of being up off the ground, so that if your tent floor seeps rain, you stay dry. Throw a plastic sheet over that bed during the day and you don’t have to worry about your bed getting wet, come what may.
And believe me, it will come. We always say, the best way to insure rain in that area is to have the Carters go camping.
Patty,
That would be so totally awsome, wouldn’t it? Boy I’d really have to behave myself if I wanted to try to get Glenn to ride me out there on the motorcycle. I don’t dare ride my own that far. But I would ride on his. I’d bring it up to him if it looks like Linda has any such plans for this year. We keep talking about going across the country. Of coarse, like you getting sick last year, you never know what might happen between now and then. I mean, as fast as life changes, I could be living in timbucktoo with someone who looks like a sea snake or something! But I’ll keep tabs on this! Love & Light, Lynella.
Yeah, I’d like to know if there is anything this year as soon as possible. for the first time, I might be able to make it out that way this year. but I’d need to tell my boss as soon as possible.

Wouldn’t it be cool Vance?:) I did implant the idea in Glenn’s head this morning. He said, “Oh, I dunno’ that’s a long ways.” Then about ten minutes later he was smiling and said, “It would be fun to go and meet all these people you’ve been spending so much time with!”;) So, I take that as a big might/maybe/possibly!:cool:
Wouldn’t it be cool!!:D I just hated it that I had to miss it last year. We had a big “event” going on at work and I got so run down before it was over with I just got really, really sick. This year, I do NOT intend to let that happen!
This week I found out that the first three weeks of July will be very busy at work, and I already have a bunch of meetings scheduled in June, so I need to get my request in if I want some time off.
We have a standing plan for a campout the last weekend in June. This year that will be June 25th and 26th. Since I’m living in Clarksville now it can be more flexible. If some of you can make it from other parts of the country, a longer stay is of course sensible, and I will be here! I would really like us to finally get together. I hope I’ve answered you in time, Vance.
If these dates are no good, I would be interested in planning something for JUST US here at the site, and a select group of local folks related to us. I think that could be very focused and special. What would work?
The 25th and 6th would be alright. I might stop in a couple of places on the way up there — Gibson & Pike Co., Indiana, and Scott and Russell County, Va, maybe check out the Germanna Colony on the Rapidan River.
I know I am gonna hate the traffic . . . nearest town of 100,000 population is Wichita Falls, Tx, and it is about 150,000 I think — it’s 90 miles away . . . and I’ll hate not knowin’ what lane to be in for my exits . . . and the ride home is gonna be a looooooooong ride.
But it’d be worth it to meet yall. 🙂 I’m gonna try and do it.

I am working on convincing the husband to drive to Philadelphia for a conference the next week and cut south for a day on our way. Not sure if we can. Possible big changes happening this summer.

Hi there everyone!
Hey there Linda!
Linda, thanks again for Dec! (I just got pics back today, I will scan soon and send!)
It’s Deb from Ontario. I have not posted, kept up with posts due to work (I lived an d worked at same place–note past tense…I am no long er there..my choice, that’s ok 😉 have more flexible work now).
Anyways!
I posted re meeting at Fort Chr. (as an idea…I think I remember asking what you thought of it Linda…but then ..who knows..I didnt mean to go over anyone’s head by posting that idea!)
The Wendat who I am friends with here in Ont. have a gathering every year at traditional capital (goign back to 1600s)
and people come from all over.
I was wondering re Saponi. I t looks like you have things in the works. I would be coming down to visit family this summer anyways…but I would love to come down (even just to come down for a gathering!)
I know you may not want it too big but I thought since we met, I woudl ask. Also as a n idea I have a friend who is friends with Tutelo/Saponis at 6 Nations…who are knowledgable and could share some information! It would be a type of homecoming for them too! (if you wouldnt mind them coming)
I thought I woudl ask.
The Wendat Gathering is the last weekend in June….are you holding it then? Or could it be July? Also I would offer to come down and help do what I can. (:
Please let me know.
Thanks (Jiawen in Wendat ; ) )
Deb
PS Thanks for having me on group! It’s great! And helping me bit by bit answer OLD questions!
I think we should plan on some activities at the fort during our annual getogether, the last weekend in June. Of course, if that weekend is bad for a lot of people, I would be more than willing to facilitate another time.
Linda,
This sounds so wonderful. I hope I can convince Glenn to go. I really want to. We’re way over due for a vacation. I could be mean and tell him that’s all I want for my birthday! But that’s really not fair!;) Love & Light, Lynella.
