Re: M&G at Gateway this weekend

Hello;
I just found this group today, no time to get ready and camp on short notice. Perhaps if the wife want to we will try to drive up and meet some of you on saturday. We live near Lima, Ohio but I have a sister that lives at Harrison Lake in Ohio, I think that is 30-40 miles from Gateway.
Well perhaps we will see you saturday.

It's only Wednesday!!! Plenty of time! You don't have to come for Thursday, or even Friday. You can come for just the one night if you'd like. I'm sure there's sites left.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Jon

Haven't got it licensed yet and it is still winterize, didn't use it last year, just don't have time to get it ready. Perhaps next time.

We have a 1983 T2103 or I think that is the correct model # I know it is a 21 foot.

Wife decided we were coming with the camper Friday and stay over to Saturday, if we can get a reservation. I have tried to call but phone always busy. I sent reservation request online hopefully they will have something available.

Great! I can mention something to Michelle tomorrow when I check in to see if she's got your reservation set.

Super I will give you my work phone by private message if I can and you can have her call me if she hasn't received it. Of course if all goes right, I should have a reservation by then. Hopefully anyway.

Welcome J&A Lima Ohio

Gee another fellow Ohioan Sunliner with the club. Great!! They are scarce in these parts. Although on this M & G there are now 3 Ohio rigs. WOW. This might be a record.

Looking forward to meeting you and your wife on Friday as that is when we arrive.

To all those good folks traveling in on Thursday, safe towing and have a good trip. Friday the weather here in Central Ohio is suppose to be clear. Thursday it is sort of a free for all….

See everyone on early to mid afternoon on Friday.

John and Cindy

Great Pictures Jon, thanks for posting them

I have a question, since your "double-towing", do you think you should be using some type tow bar in place of the bungee cord towing set up??

Glad to see the '08 Sunline is making the trip. How many miles have you put on the '08 ?

Ya'll have a great time, see you in June,

Kitty

 

[Sunline Fan]

How many miles have you put on the '08 ?

I've put on 565.4 on it, and then the few hundred that you put on it to bring it to the M&G. I didn't bother doing a Google map search because I know you went a "different" way to get to Mexico...

That's the amount of miles it's been in here, but it's probably rolled a grand total of 1/8 of a mile if I'm lucky.

Jon

Oh yeah, P.S. double towing is illegal in Michigan...

Nice pics - looks like it was a bit chilly!

Who has the bike rack over the propane tanks? Can you supply details please? Manufacturer, cost ~ home made, design????

We need a bike rack - can't put them on the rear bumper, of course no ladder and they won't go in the back of the truck.....and definately not in the TT!

 

[Tweety]

Ditto on noticing the bike rack...we'd also like design details on that!
Looks like everyone had a festive weekend 8)

Look's like it was a fun time, can't wait until June and Buttonwood.

Hey Jon, is towing a tandem legal in Mich. ?

 

[Tweety]

Thanks for the bike rack link...we missed that the first time around. Looks like it was posted during one of our week long camping trips.

 

[clueless campers]

We made it back home safely. Hope everyone else did too. We had a great time at Gateway Park and look forward to seeing you all again.

JohnB, hope you and Cindy enjoyed Maumee Bay.

Dona and Charlie (the not so clueless anymore campers--that's for all the help.)

Your directions to Maumee where perfect!!! Drove right in.

First we started here with this band of merry campers.

Here there are all lined up

And here is "The Camper 2" on it's landing pad.... Never camped on concrete before...

And here at this Sunline camp site our new camper friends gave us a great lead to our Sunday night destination.

So off we went and ended up here. (Actually this pic was after we end up here, less camper...)

We arrived in good time on site 102. Boy is it green up here.... Cindy really noticed that part. She really likes it.

And here is "The Camper 2" from the far side of the water

And here is from inside the camper looking out the rear window. WOW 8)

How we managed to pick that site over the internet and never been there, we did great! 8)

The Gateway M & G was Great!!! and met a number of new friends. We will do this again.
