Someone with some talent could Ollie this up

In some cases, particularly within certain RV or festival camping circles, a pineapple—especially if displayed upside down—can have a more specific meaning, indicating that the campers are part of the "swinger" or open-relationship lifestyle, subtly inviting like-minded others to connect.

The badge/patch/sticker idea is great

Last year we did a 4,000 mile trip to Lake Ontario and down the eastern seaboard. Hit about 8 or 10 spots, some stays were 3 or 4 nights, a couple were just overnight stops. We are on 6,000 mile trip right now, going from NM to MT to WA, OR and back through NM to home. We are hitting more spots this trip, with a 7 day stay, some 4 day stays and some overnighters. These have been our wanderings so far in our two years with Ollie. I think I am not going to do these meandering trips any more. I think I pick a spot, how ever so far, overnight how ever so many night stays to get there, and then stay 7 to 14 days in that spot, overnight stays back home to Arkansas. Our other trips during the year will be shorties within Arkansas, Missouri and maybe southern LA and MS. These short stays don't really allow me to set up a proper camp.

I'll get you on the list Galway when we get home mid July. Thanks

Look here to see what others are using.

We are staying at KOA. I have relatives there and they have three days planned for us. Then we move west to Port Orchard, WA.

We sure had some wind getting here from Curt Gowdy State Park. So far BB has been placid. We leave here in the morning heading to Kalispell, MT

Just saw an E II headed west out of Cody WY on Hwy 14. We were walking along the Buffalo Bill State Park campground road. I thought they might be staying here but I guess they kept going.

That is a good idea. I think that is what I would do if I went up there.

I hope you have a great trip. I would love to travel without scheduling everything to a gnat's ass. Wave if you see us. We leave Sunday for six weeks

We leave Sunday. We are very excited, and I am a little nervous.

Nice looking grill. Keep us posted as you put it to good use.

It was the best choice for us. I hope you come to the same conclusion. You forget about the high price in a decade or so... 😉 Here's wishing many miles of smooth rode for you.

Welcome to the family

I was there a few years ago on my bike and stayed at the lodge. We have not camped there. View from the lodge

To any and all. Feel free to announce a stay if you want a visit to your campsite. We will be at Mount Magazine State Park Campsite 14 arriving tomorrow April 21, departing Friday April 25 2025. This is our first outing this year. Stop by and say hi.

I will look at that as my "wing it" stop. We leave Kalispell on the 14th, and drive until we stop that night, somewhere (maybe Beauty Creek Campground). Then resume our drive on the 15th to Port Orchard, WA. I was planning on breaking that up with an unscheduled/unreserved stop. I plan to break the 600 mile trip into two parts not knowing how fast those roads are. Thanks so much for proofing my plan. This is a big first for us.
