wildebill308 Report post Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) I have never ben in that area that the trafic wasen't bad. You would think you were in the DFW area or Atlanta. Where is our review of the new campground? Bill Edited April 3, 2023 by wildebill308 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted April 3, 2023 The campground is Bourne Scenic Park, it's been around a while. Camp there since a kid in a tent, tent trailer, travel trailer and MH. Nice place on the canal, hard to get a site. Only one close without going over a bridge. They are supposed to be building 2 new bridges in the future, they keep pushing it out and are just doing patch work now. At least the small seafood shacks are getting ready to open. That's where you get the good stuff. Just got my quahog license so I'll be out there soon digging, still need waders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fagnaml Report post Posted April 5, 2023 I haven't frequented the forum much since starting retirement last October from a 40-1/2 year career with Conoco / ConocoPhillips / Phillips 66 as most of my forum visits were during my lunch hour while working. Since the end of the LSU football season the wife and I have struggled with moderate cases of flu and Covid despite getting the annual flu shot and Covid boosters. Type A flu was rampant in the Houston area in November and December (infections lasted three weeks for me and two weeks for the wife) and then we both caught Covid from somewhere (wife for two weeks of bad head cold in February and me with two weeks of bad head cold in March). In addition, our coach was in our favorite repair shop for nearly six weeks for replacement of the Magnum charger / inverter which had its "mother board" fail" for unknow reasons. New Magnum 2000 watt pure sine wave charger / inverters were on back order for weeks. Now that our flu and Covid immunity are well boosted from infections and our coach has a new charger / inverter and annual maintenance completed, we're headed to our first ever RV rally (NIRV Customer Appreciation Rally) at Catherine's Landing RV Resort near Hot Springs, AR next week (April 12-15) The rally is also our first ever visit to the Hot Springs area so we're excited for this new adventure next week. Not to upset the forum moderators, but I wonder if vaccines really work?? Our annual flu shot and bi-valent Covid booster didn't do much to prevent very uncomfortable, weeks long infections.....

He hasn't been banned that I know of and there is no reason that I can see that would keep him from logging in.

wayne77590 Report post Posted April 6, 2023 Mike and Cindy, You are going to like Catherine's Landing. Nice RV Park Wish I could give you some suggestions as to what to see but we were there with a group and pretty much had fun just staying in the park. A group did go ZIP lining. I didn't go but Earlene did and she was then in her 70's. Whole bunch of old farts did that. I had two knees replaced and decided to just cheer them on. There was a set of 7 zip lines on that course. Hot springs bath houses and the downtown area were interesting. Have fun. p.s., If you leave the RV park pull the awnings in. They get a straight line wind every once in a while.

Going to be traveling today but will check in later That almost sounds like his browser settings are too strict to allow the Invision software access to his browser. Yes a different browser might get different results. I have FF latest update with default settings. My opinion of the forums is, yes they have been really slow since Herman passed.

erniee Report post Posted June 25, 2023 Brenda and I sold the hill top property in Mineral Wells and moved to Haskell Tex to get away from the taxes and crowds. Probably not going to do floors anymore unless we get bored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted June 25, 2023 Erniee, that's about 40 miles north of the latitude of Mineral Wells so you should be about 0.5 degrees cooler. Congratulations! I guess you can call this retirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
