Ok I really want this to happen so here is the hair brained idea..(its already been approved by DH)
Late July or Early August a real life wagon circle gathering...
I have 5 acres and lots of room for tents, campers, & whatevers and there are hotels near by for the less hardy..... my neighbor (who is part timer, their camp is next door)are used to it, and may just stop by for a hello and a beer too...lol...that's what we do out where I live...oh yeah and don't for get the Japanese Garden to reflect by and relax in , hot tub too...lol...
OK so who's in...let me know ..
MB.. if you're looking I live in Ischua, NY

Yep I posted on the other thread also but will all depend on the building project. I had said I wasnt doing the vacation thing this year since I was building but going to try to figure out a way to do this. I did mapquest it and it looks to be roughly 940 miles. SO is from Ct so might try to figure out something there. My mind is clicking if you all hear anything,,lol Hmmm,,wondering if MB is going to make us get up early and exercise?!? Amy |

I'm in too. How could I pass up something happening in my own state? I'll probably be one of the hotel girls---haven't camped out since I was a Girl Scout and that was only day camp! MB---I noticed you referred to your neighbor's place as a "camp"---are you on water? Jeannie |

Deb---You could just stow away in our luggage when we come home from Alaska and hang out here until the partaay! Vickie---We could ride together and share the gas expense. If Gina is at a good place with her treatment she could ride with us too! |

Sounds great, haven't been on a real vacation since before bc. We have a pop-up camper. Your're probably 8 to10 hours from here. It all depends on the date. Our son is getting married on Aug 4th, and daughter's family with new baby will be here for the wedding and a baptism. Also, DH is a teacher. Don't yet know when the school year starts. There are lots of ifs in my life. But I sure would like to get away. Keep us posted. Laura |

MB -- 2 questions: 1 - what about my dog? 2 - what is the bathroom & shower situation? I've done tent camping but always able to walk to shower & flush toilets. Do we have to wash in the pond and go in the woods?  I am ever-practical. -- Donna in VA |

Now of course it being in New York state "Woodstock" comes to mind maybe even someone here attended Woodstock back in the day....anyway what about Breaststock or maybe Nobreaststock or maybe my breastturnedagainstmestock......maybe we could get bc sisters from all over the country to come.....maybe Sheryl Crow and Olivia Newton John could preform......maybe it may rain and we could chat no rain.........anyway MB it sure is sweet of you to offer your home(you do realize we will all be in your home when we get tired of dancing and howling)I really do hope you can pull this off.....you are truly a sweetheart.............. |

I have extra tents..and might be able to find a camper or two...and we have 2 40' garages in case of rain...and party tents to shade us too... whoo hoo...we need a name... any more suggestions..
