We the boys and I had a great time other than Sat evenings upset with the grounds keeper and his bull crap. This was the first camping trip my kids had ever been on and they had a blast came back with no ticks or chiggers which was nice
They climbed trees, went fossiling which Tyler and Denis got with Mark so they got more than I but hey I'm not 8 and 10 and cute as a button. But I did find all kinds of neat stuff.
I didn't get lost untill I made it to the campground which was GREAT. Which brings me to the BAD PEOPLE of the CAMPGROUND
eepwalla: I have never in my life run into the most rude bunch of poodunks in my life
I go to check in they have no idea were we are camping or the price they should charge. I get charged way over the cost but I think it's ok I'm happy I made it without gettig lost. ( I'm still in my glory that I made it). I ask how to I find them they say they are in the very back
Whats the very back I ask OH you have never been here I see :11doh:So they tell me to find this road and they will be camping soemwhere down in there. :11: I'm thinking it's 8:30 ish dark the woods and now starting to ran Again I think I made it so no big deal I will try and if I don't find it I will call and they can come and get me. Which they did after about 30min of running around in the woods. Thanks Brain
Come Sat I want to rent a golfcart for the kids. Because there are 4 yr. olds drivig around on ATV's and golcarts so I think rent one for the kids after fossiling so they can have fun and give the adults time to relax. So I go up to the front office around 3:30p and tell the lady I would like to rent a golf cart for the remainder of the day
( remember we are dealing with pooduncks from hell ) She says we rent them by the hours I say ok I would like to rent it for the remainder of the day and when should we return it. She's
she say's we only rent them for 1 hour but we do rent them by the day and it's $100 for the day. OK I think I'm getting somewhere with this lady
. I said ok it's 3:30 how much would it cost me for the rest of the day. She say's we only rent them by the hour
again I'm getting no where. I SAID OK I'LL RENT IT FOR THE HOUR she say's that great let me get the paper work for you
she comes back and say's you have to have it back in one hour and at that time you can rent it for another hour if you would like, now I'm
so I tell her can I rent it for 2 hours:blinking: no we only rent them by the hour at this point I just want out of there, I realize I am dealing with someone who's education could not have been over the first grade.
I tell her we are camping in the back 40 so we may be a little late getting it back up by 5 min or so she say's that's ok honey you take your time.
I'm not going there I think to myself. So all the kids get in I drive back to the campsite the kids are having fun following all the rules we gave them to have the Inn Keeper stop them and have them bring back the golfcart as we are watching this whole thing becasue tehy were only 200 yards from us as they were told to be. He say's you have to have a licensed driver in the cart when they are driving it. I'm thinking here goes a 4 yr old by as he is talking to us by himself and all these other kids but our kids can't drive around a cart right in front of us, but we say ok and Dennis agrees to go with the kids.
Take the cart back in 1 hour and get a ride back to the campground being followed by a pooduncks wondering why we get back and they ask who car is this and we tell them and they say they are not on the list for camping we say it's because they are not camping they are only here to eat dinner and than they will be leaving, they say who invited these people for dinner so Denniis speaks up and say's I did, he proceeds to read him his rights on the park rules and how they sould have went to the office and checked in first we are all confused because theya re not staying why would they need to check in for 2 hours before they go home. So we think OK have them check in and be done with it..:11: NO we want these people to leave and the couple that have invited them to dinner to leave well that's not right. We try to explain that these people were not camping they came in only to eat with us and they were leaving, he gets mad and sends in there whole poodunck family to make sure they leave they give them 20 min to pack up and leave well they had cooked us dinner so most everything they had was on the fire and hot they had at least one hour of packing if they worked like crazy maybe they could get out in an hour. We werew all made and did what we could to change there minds but they were not going to budge. So Dennis and Roxanne had to leave because they offered dinner to another SB couple.
Sunday rolls around and they watched us like hawks like we were going to steal a tree or something.
For the Trip and being around everyone we had a blast but for wanting to go bacck to this place never again they were very rude people and would not leave us alone all night they were coming around our site. We were in bed and they were still coming around which I thought was rude because we were trying to sleep.
I did have fun and now thinking about the Jenny Springs Trip next month.
