One thing you have to watch out for are the wild squirrels. I’ve heard tell that they can takedown a full grown man and finish him off in seconds. Here is one of the Ohio variety.
Be be very careful around them. And be sure to warn your neighbors if one gets in their campsite.. I know... I should have said something...

@Homebodyatheart, according to Dale, he originally bought 2. The extra was to be parts for the first as it wore out or broke, but it has performed so well that he doesn't need spare parts, so the sold it, including the leg mods to us. We are so grateful to have it. On rainy days, while camping, our growing boys need more room!
@dragonsdofly if you don’t already you will love the covered space! We camped with them a year ago and it was pouring buckets all weekend. I wandered over to say Hi just as Sandi was pulling fresh chocolate chip cookies out of her little oven! It was nice to have all that dry space to congregate! Congratulations!

@TerryV6 around here it’s squirrels and crows. Both are smart and know how to take whatever we leave around! So far I’m good, but I’m also careful about leaving any edibles or trash out, especially at night.

We had a swap meeting afternoon. Sorry, no pictures... I was too busy buying stuff. Doty Hills designs was here and we had to say hello. Then Alde was here with all kinds of free stuff. Yippee skipee..... Jody bought some special all purpose camper (Tab?) soap, so I guess I will be smelling like lavender, wintergreen or some such. The swap meet started and the tables filled with stuff. Everyone needs stuff. I put two things out and boom, they were gone. I won a sign... and I don’t win things... Don’t tell anyone that they let you toss the beanbags till you got two on the ledge. Then, I saw that Verna was selling her keyless lock. Seeing that, I muscled three people to the side and grabbed the box. Neat..... Then I pulled out my wallet and found out I was 50 cents short, but she was gracious enough to give us time to travel in to SugarCreek and get money from the bank...
Ahhh... the country air... the honey wagon just came through the the campsites.

@TerryV6 I'm loving your running commentary! I've got the same lock. it's a tight fit to get the inside half in but it fits perfectly when it's in. If you want to disable the annoying beep just hold the '1' button until it goes off. Reverse the process to turn it back on. Thanks for sharing!

Okay... first thank you homebodyat heart... my wife says i jabber too much. And me, an introvert... Anyway, we waited too long to start supper. And understand, our cooler is loaded. So i said, honey, lets go out for a bite. We stopped at Der Dutchman restaurant. I looked carefully, to make sure there were no cars i recognised in the parking lot. The waiter guided us to our table and we laughed as we realized that we were having a camping dinner in town. I heard a familiar voice and turning around, who was there, but Verna. Gasp!!!

@TerryV6 thank you for the pictures and posts. You had me laughing several times. "And be sure to warn your neighbors if one gets in their campsite.. I know... I should have said something..." And you paint a great picture of the swap meet madness. Sure sounds like a great time...keep the posts coming! Thanks!

Terry, your updates are fabulous!!! I have to say it again, even though others have said it. Thank you so much! Yay for a great impromptu concert brought me my morning smile with my

Wonderful coffee with rolls and cakes today for breakfast. And the great conversations with people. I popped up early this morn. 58 degrees. Had some coffee. Then I took a shower in one of those big truck trailer showers... Very clean... Ahhhh... refreshed. Invigorating! Wife happy... no stinky feet... me? Marvin talk in a few hours... Then maybe see the worlds largest Cookoo clock. Of course Dale said that there is a massive hardware store 20 miles away... Hmmmm.... Would she go for that?

@TerryV6, Thanks for sharing. The ongoing chat you offer is heartwarming & I'm glad you're having fun. Only regret...wish I were there also. One small word of advise though (Sorry in advance Dale!), if you go to the hardware store, I would advise against taking @Dalehelman with you. You'll come back with a "BUILD YER OWN TRAILER KIT"!!!! Oh, and I promise, like @Verna said...it WILL wreak total havoc on a budget. That's how Liz banned me from Harbor Freight without a chaperone!

We had question and answer session with an alde rep, Marvin and Creed. Lots of question Then they went thru the areas where caulk can be needed.
In the afternoon, Jody saw that there was an Amish flea market, so we went. Not like the ones back home. More like a gift shop IMHO. Someone mentioned Leymans Hardware. So off we went to find this huge hardware store. I walked in the door, looked and thought, where are the nuts, bolts, brackets, screws, socket sets and drills? Instead, it was this:
I did think the anvil was kinda cool...Would it affect my tongue weight?
Then it was pot luck time. Wonderful food and good company...
After supper, they gave away door prizes and guess who won one?

@jkjenn, sorry we're gonna miss you. Planned departure time for us is Saturday 2 or 3 am. I was hoping to meet, but not this time. Open roads and safe travels.
@TerryV6 thanks again for the laughs! After your posts yesterday, I had to laugh at the "someone" mentioned Lehman's...looks like you both had fun there. nuCamp posted on FB that they videotaped the Q&A and would be posting it-I look forward to it! Have a good evening and thanks again.

We went back after dark and Mandy showed some nice viseos including a video last year. Wow there were many here that were here last year. Right Gunther? " i get goose bumps...". Nice guy Gunther...
Then it was time to walk back and settle in....

I borrowed one of Terry’s pics. The wall has plumbing for the shower and wiring for the AC fan, Alde display and TV (this TaB is sans TV).
