Hes hunkered down for the rain!

It’s hard for me to figure out which pics I took with me phone sideways to upload to the boards, and my I cloud is taking forever to upload so they are on my iPad and I can see them better.

Good grief! You did get some rain.

1636 is a little small for our tent to fit on, it is mostly sitting off the gravel and more toward the road. Our site backs up to the main road but we haven’t noticed the noise from cars a busses to be all that bad.




The site is drying out now that the rain has stopped. During the storm there was a lightning strike near the 1500 - 1600 CS, not real sure what happened other than that, but security and Reddy Creek Rescue showed up.



They where walking around behind the CS.

Fort de-construction pics coming soon. We really need to take back our Fort.

Anyone here now looking for nice Halloween decorations, there is a big display set up in the 1200 loop that is fantastic.

We have never pulled our trailer behind our motorhome or with the golf cart on it, so I went over the trailer yesterday at work and everything looks good.

Please don't forget spare tire, jack and lug wrench for trailer. 2 hours on an on ramp because my buddy forgot his. Oops, stuff happens

We were at MNSSHP sitting in the line to see jack and sally when the rain came. We only waited for an hour and a half which I though was reasonable especial since it was raining. The cover for little mans stroller blew off so he had to sit on a poncho in the stroller the rest of the night. This was our first MNSSHP and to me the crowds to me seemed to be very manageable. We rode the Pirates, Haunted Mansion and the People Mover. We got a ton of candy and I was able to get an oogie boogie popcorn bucket and the Jack Skellington sipper.

The wife and kiddo are sleeping in and then it's off to Hollywood studios. Building a droid, Prime time cafe' and Slinky Dog.

We picked up some chicken at P&J's and the wife loved it. We ate the leftovers after we got back from the park last night. Our first two trips here we stayed in resorts. The wife and son loved decorating the site and the golf cart. As we were arriving some deer walked across the road and the wife saw some turkeys yesterday. I think she really likes the fort and did not resist when I told her next time we should stay a week!! She agreed this is better than a hotel room.

Water for tea, coffee brewing, then chocolate waffles for DD, and bacon and eggs for DW and I then it’s off to the boat for resort hopping.

Faxed in my site/loop request yesterday. With it being so busy, I am not getting my hopes up, but the last three trips we got a site on the canal which is what I always request. 1812 is our favorite one on the canal and has more room for the decorations, but we will be happy with what ever we get.

Finishing up on the last golf cart parade decoration tonight and will start putting some of the decorations in the trailer. DH may not be going hunting this weekend, and if that is the case, we will definitely be able to check in Monday afternoon.

Mr Bones went fishing today to try to bide the time until we leave.

Let’s see if I get these in the right order.
This is looking at the playground at TE


This fence was going up yesterday at the private carriage ride between TE and the trading post

Some random sign pics

This one is at the marina, and there is also one at the Meadows pool next to the bathrooms

The playground between TE and the beach will be replaced with bungalows/cabins.

Which means the playground will go the way of the nearby Lawnmower Tree.

And River Country.

And the original Tri-Circle-D Ranch.

And the Fort Wilderness Railroad.

All the cute unique stuff that made the Fort special.

Thanks for the photos, snowmedic.

PS - although I do hold out hope for the new TCD

Gulf cart parking at the Meadows Trading Post. The original parking area for the trading post.


New parking area to right and behind the car parking.






A pic of both areas

They cut down all the trees back there and poured in gravel and wheel stops for blessed golf carts?

Just so I'm clear, this is in the area between the Meadow TP and 1300 loop along Fort Wilderness Trail.
