AUG 6-12 2017 - GOSHEN IN - FROG International

[spock123]

Some people love going to different rally's just not us but we did enjoy the Goshen rally and hope to go back next year. Going to rallies is just not for us. But again we did have a lot of fun. I would like to volunteer to drive the shuttle carts around more. The thing I probably won't do again is the factory tours, we like our Cedar Creek but I tend to get PO when I visit the factory. Anyway we had a really good time

[W5CI]

I agree with you Spock, but going to rallys gets us to places that we would never think of going to otherwise. We had such a bad experience last year at FROG that we wanted to go back this year and we are glad we did, for the most part it was wonderful. weather was good, food was ok. Hospitality was Outstanding. A big thank you to Bob and Cindy for all of the hard work putting everything together.

Oh I just go anywhere I want to go, I went to Alaska this year and plan on going next year. Been to a lot of National Parks, Niagara Falls twice, Amish country in PA. I'm retired now and I just go. Have truck and camper will travel. I heard about last year but I can't do anything about the weather. I try to make the most of each day I have left, I like to see it rain. I like snow and cold weather and hot weather. As long as I'm on this side of dirt I plan on having fun. What I can control I may worry about what I can't control I don't worry about. All the people I met at the rally were nice. You know it's amazing but I meet the nicest people in campgrounds, same way at the rally. Put me down for 18

I myself am not a 'people person' and it takes me a while to warm up to folks. With that said, i am SO grateful I let Turbs talk me into going to Amana that first time. Before that trip, the thought of camping for a week with 1600 other people sounded about as appealing to me as toenail fungus.

Never have i been happier to admit i was wrong. Every rally we have gone to has been a blast. I value my 'once or twice a year' friends as much as the ones i see every week. Just sitting here counting the days till the next one.

Just be careful when Wobbles comes around bearing gifts in bottles to pass around.

On these occasions, we take wood and put boards under the tires that are off the ground and then bump the autoleveler down a bit so the tire's weight is on the wood. Still reasonably level, and the tires are on solid ground...err wood

I do about the same. If tires are in the air after leveling, I go manual and bump that side even higher, about a half inch. Then I stack my plastic leveling blocks under each tire and let the tires back down on them.

You made it home to your 5er.

[ernest917]

Made it home after three days of driving.... Soooo glad to be back in the mid to high 90's with the wonderful humidity..... NOT !!!!!!!

Like stepping onto a sauna plus the d--n love bugs are all over the front of the coach.... That'll be at least an hour or more of work....

Makes one ask "why do we live in this heat"??? Longing for cooler weather....

[CAT-RN]

BUT. BUT. BUT. you have new steps. Isn't FR great!!
You do have new steps don't you?

For those that asked about my chasing Halo LED Light bar on my golf cart, here is the link to where you can buy one: https://www.truckbuyersgroup.com/col...ng-halo-lights

Hope everybody made it home safely and God Bless.

I know the feeling, as I had the red 6 seater cart! Picked up many stray souls that were out and about. And Kate, once again you hollered at the wrong person. It was I that picked you up, not Tim Hepler. [emoji23]. The funny part do this story was she waved us down and asked for a ride, which we gave her. Then she asked if we knew where the PHrog Pond was. She had no idea that she had just been given a ride by the PHat Phrogs until we told her who we were! I think she was a bit embarrassed, but quickly warmed up.

We hear you! When we retire in December, we are going to obey the 80–40 rule: if the temperature goes up above 80°... we move. if the temperature drops below 40° ...we move [emoji12][emoji12]

I had several hollar at me on Sunday before the shuttles started running with 3 different people I took back to their RV and back to Service Center because they did not bring their VIN with them.

It was my pleasure to help out.

Not sure how this is going to work next year when we go to Alaska.
Think you may be doing a lot of extra diving the further we head north. I know rule are made to be broken. So just have some fun and forget the rules.

Have Fun Tim

Also enjoyed the gifts left by the PHrog PHairy! [emoji23]

I was in the grove and missed the corn this year. did not know of anyone getting corn thought maybe not done this year.

I think Mike said he passed out 2000 ears of corn over 2 days. I can't remember if it was monday/tuesday or tuesday/wednesday. He most likely came by when you weren't there.
