What's it doing in your neck of the woods?

John: Snow? I guess we didn't get enough this past winter.
We are in same weather system you're in and anything above 3000 ft is getting wet snow.
Weather here in the foot-hills is rain and showers NO SNOW all week but more sunny breaks as we get closer to the end of the week.
Lets all put on sunglasses and pretend the sun is out

Hello all. We are still coming but not with our new Escape 19 as it hasn't been built yet. Our completion date is in June but we were optimistic that we would get it earlier since we paid for it in full several months ago. Instead we will be at the rally in a rented pop up camper. I hope that some of the other attendees with Escapes will be willing to give us in depth tours since we will not be going to Chilliwack for an orientation (we are getting ours delivered.)

I called the campground today to find out what site we would be in since I reserved online, and the lady said she was surprised that I got a site as they were almost gone. So if anyone else is thinking of it, better call to see if they have a site available. She said there are fiberglass trailers spread out throughout the campground.

Sun is coming upand sky is blue and just 2 more days....Yea, I knew the campground would fill up fast as the date got closer so any "on the Fencers" move now!

If, for any reason, we do not meet at office upon arrival, Please come down to the "Ladybug" on site 49 for a welcome paper at some point.

Weather is for improving skies though the week, so all who did there "NO RAIN" dance thanks..
Your Host

Got the "Ladybug" loaded this morning and found the bed was wet...too late to fix just put tape over bottom of window in back and have to be OK for the weekend.
Wife sleeps over there anyway....

Really excited about attending this even though I'm just daytripping up on Friday from MA. I hope there are some Scamps and Casitas there that I can take a look at. I'm getting very close to ordering something but I really need to see them in real life first! I hope I won't bug too many people as I wander around and ask "Can I see your trailer?" !

[Gerry]

The Spring Fling is here...Can't wait to meet all who will attend.
If we do not meet outside office when you check in make sure you come see me after you get settled in to pick up a welcome note and report card to fill out after the rally to rate the job I did.
Card should be returned to me on site 49 the "Ladybug"
See you all soon.

Went up for the day this Friday. Really nice people and I got to see a whole bunch of different FGRVs. Big help in making a decision as to what to get. Now I have to think about options!

Great Job Jon, I want to thank you and all the other Spring Flinger campers for making this, my first attempt as a host, a great event.
It was all of us that made this a good time, I just kicked the rock down the hill but you kept it rolling.
This for sure will be an annual event so keep your wintery eyes peeled next Fall for the posting of the 2nd Annual Spring Fling in New England.
Your Host Gerry & Barb Landry.

We just made it home in rain and in the NH hills found snow along the road and some slush on the road in places. But, summer is around the corner.

We followed and then were followed by a NJ Casita part of the trip. Hope you had a good trip home.

Thank you Gerry for organizing this, the place was beautiful, the people who own/run the campground are wonderful, and the participants made for a great company - nice meeting you all, well, maybe not all but a good number of you, it was a pleasure.

Thanks for all your work in setting this up Gerry. Nice campground, great people, and the weather even held off until it was time to leave.

Gerry,
Thank.you for all the hard work putting the rally together. It was our first such gathering and it was fantastic. Met a lot of wonderful people and learned all sorts of new things! If I get in trouble in Rowley I'll be sure and drop your name.
