Woo doubledownHOO!!!! I'm from N. Mi. and I'm gonna be there from Wed. thru Sun.!If I hadn't already gotten a plane ticket i might offer to share the driving...on second thought, you'd prolly put me out on the e-way after only a few hours:facepalm:

I've been told I'm a little difficult to deal with in close confines for any length of time...tho i don't know why...I'm as quiet as a mouse and very ladylike...:confused:

When i used to drive my ex - i had a special eyeguard for her drop down from the visor! Relax - i am used to traffic - remember where i am from!

It was like a horse nosebag only it covered her head! How i wish the car had a trapdoor!

Anyway - my ugly old self can make that trip - Kay told me!

Yeah, I can lock Kaypers upstairs, and hide the key. She'll be fine with two bathrooms, coffee maker, filtered water, and TV so maybe she can entertain herself watching her beloved Yankees.

But, in reality....... I don't think I can spare her helping me out with so many chores and errands. I grew up in a house full of sisters so we'll have built in boundaries so we won't kill each other.

Going to be so much FUN!!!!! A kindred spirit and someone even more feisty than I.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

google says 4-1/2 hour drive for me - and that's achievable - They have no idea how i drive.

T

DH and I do Nashville in about 3 hours less than most sane drivers. Only stopped once and only a warning. Surely hope you can come. Plenty of relaxing non-activities. It's a two hour drive from my place, in non-traffic.

So worth it to make it. I can't stress how delightful it is to hang with fellow REOnauts!!!!!

Okay some pics.... I just discovered the panoramic mode on my phone last week and just discovered the "line up vertically and horizontally" boxes on phone today after taking some pics. So some of the porch posts are spread out at bottoms.

Plenty of just about everything. I didn't see personal towels so not sure about those but I picked up a six pack of bath towels and 24 washcloths from Costco today. Remember we have a washer/dryer room there. BTW... civilization is not very far away for any shopping trips. So, those driving in bring beach towels, bath towels, etc, unless I find out differently. I'l be bringing a big box of personal wipes, for bathrooms. And Costco, disinfection surface wipes.

I suggest we each bring our condiments, sweeteners, coffee creamers, etc. Kay will be here two days before so the only person not making a short trip in, so far, is Jack. Jack, Kay and I can cover for you. Just need a list.

I have 2 X 3 lb pork center loins in freezer. I'll be glad to thaw them and let someone who knows what they are doing slow cook them on grill. Also have a good sized whole, organic chicken I can thaw and bring.

Everyone driving in (except for Jack) bring aluminum foil, if you think needed, wax paper, etc. Stove top and oven are normal sized but all electric. Everyone can bring their own potatoes or Kay and I can pick up a bag at Costco for baking on grill. Bring your preferred condiments. Otherwise bring your preferred meat(s). Oh yeah, I have a few lbs of mildly seasoned Italian Sausages I can bring for grilling and/or breakfasts.

Bring your preferred breads, also, for any meals, snaking, etc.

I'm bringing a couple of wireless headsets for anyone wanting to listen to TV without disturbing others. And several power strips for our gadgets.

Wi-fi is iffy. We may have to use my car, up above the lake, in parking area as communications system. I did get an almost, unboosted Sprint signal in Gazebo, but a for sure one up the hill in car. My booster can boost just about any cellular signal and can be used with any phone. We'll just have to play with things.

Tony #2 the housekeeping who "toured" me said we could possibly check in even earlier Friday than 3:00.

I'm sure I've forgotten some things... but will remember, probably, later.

Oh, yeah, plenty of seating outside and even a picnic table out on a little ramp off porch but if you have a patio fold up rocker you might want to bring it. I have one patio fold up zero gravity chair I'll bring.

Looking down the ramp from parking to Gazebo. It's not as far or steep as it looks.

I think some of my photos didn't make it to Photobucket. But another shot of loft above one bedroom. The two lofts, above bedrooms are basically mirror images of each other, but just with different quilts. Time to eat and catch a few winks. Appointments in a.m. Ask any questions, peeps, please.

OH! I really MUST beg to disagree with you FEISTY!!! I know you didn't earn that nickname in error!:laugh:

And as long as the window doesn't lock from the outside and there's a couple of sheets, you can't keep me confined...neener neener. neener

Several others maybes. ?? means posted they will attend but not confirmed what days or nights.

I want to encourage everyone to bring EVERYTHING vape related, even non REO-gear. We can share, learn and swap tales, gear and knowledge. Would suck to be constantly going, "Man, I wish I would have brought my intergalactic subatomic RBA to show you but didn't think I would need it" all weekend.
