Well, despite fuel prices putting a big dent in all our travels this year, i,m taking two camping trips this year. One is a amusment park in Elysburg, PA called Knoebels. It,s free addmision, parking and you purchase tickets for the rides. One of only a few left in the country that do that anymore and its been around since 1926. My son,s are forth generation going to this park, a family tradition for sure. Next is down the New Jersey shore to Cape May, nice campground down there and will be there for a week. Where are all you FTE,ers going with your families?

 

were going to go visit all the oil execs and watch them swan dive into their money vaults ala Scrooge Mcduck

 

I hope to go to Gatlinburg in July, for the rally. No camper yet, maybe motel 6. I told my wife that I'd buy a camper if she would buy me a new tractor, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

 

Took a couple personal days to go to the Carlisle, PA truck rally in August. Jim,(meggawatt) is coming down for that. With the way prices are going up, making the best out of these vacations this year.

 

hey,come to hawaii,its always sunny here.........most of the time. Aloha...

 

south padre island again. we were able to rent the same beach house we did last year- $500 for 5 days. figured we would spend more than that on fuel doing anything else, so screw it. BBQ to save on food and lots of fishing. about the only other big expense will be the beer.

 

Would love too, gotta save big time for that, but thanks. Someday.

 

I'm there now, Panama city beach. Drove the freestar though, fully loaded down and averaged 23.5 mpg's not to bad for a minivan loaded everybody's stuff.I averaged 26mpg at 65mph till I hit those darn 75mph hwys.

 

Read my location...

Lots of beach, but no water.

EDIT: Hytek -- I was in PCB last year at this time. In fact, I was there from Jan-June (on Tyndall AFB). I think I made up for my lack of vacations over the last several years during that deployment...

 

Many Lake Powell trips to come this summer......the first of which is this weekend And taking 7 days vacation in September for Archery Bull Elk hunt. Woo hoooo

 

More local places this year because of fuel.

Clearwater, Florida. april. 2800 miles round trip. no camper. DONE
Fingers lakes region, NY. 4th July week. 300 miles round trip (3 more weeks. Yipeee)
Myrtle Beach, SC last week of september. 1750 miles round trip
Couple local places in between.

 

We usually go out of state, but not this year. My son and daughter in law are out west now, but their in a car that gets 30-plus mpg. If we go it will be next door in PA, or Kentuky.

 

yeah i just got a 2002 grand am awesome gas milage 31 soo now it feels like i can go anywhere lol soo im hittin up all the themeparks around me cedar point already 3 times and want to go to kings island and 6 flags and hopefully this fall taking my truck back down to florida i hope.......

 

We normally go to beach comber or big timber for a week. But since we are flying to Disney no camping this summer. First time in 13 years we won't be going.

 

White water rafting the lower Salmon. various camping trips around where I live. and motorcycle day rides in teh mountains through out the summer.
