August 20-23 2017 - Sweetwater TN - FROG Solar Eclipse Rally

The only pull throughs set up for double hook ups are #41,42,43 and 44 A/B. None of the other sites are long enough for 2 RV's.

Looking at the web site I do not see a a lot of unlevel sites some are gravel a lot of them are paved so I think we are good to go. I think sites not any worse than other camp grounds I've been to, even for level. Also most all sites are pull thur from what I see. Later RJD

Talking to CG when I reserved, I was one of last to get into rally and last big rig they could accommodate. It sounded like I was on one of the double pull thrus the way they described it.

I was there 2 weeks before the Peach rally (end of May). I did not see any RV without leveling assistance to the downhill side. There may be a few level sites but that would be rare. There was one that must have been a permanent that was raised 2' off the ground, don't understand that. My site was gravel and the one down hill from me was concrete, the one above me was concrete. This was the first time I stayed at a KOA and was expecting a lot better. The sites were very close together. The only possible level site were at the top of the hill near the swimming pool. All the sites are pull through, there are no backins.

I'm at a CG right now that has paved sites requiring leveling assistance because they were paved unlevel. We were full bubble out of whack before using levelers.

So How much blocking did you use. I do not think it take much. Yes there is always sites that are paved and need some leveling. Any way not going to fret about it from what I saw on there web site. Few backin not to may from there map. Later RJD

Full bubble equals 3 lynx levelers under both tires on that side. Usually fixes us right up. Only once have I needed more than that.

For the pot luck, DW is currently planning to bake a pair of tarte soleils which she is calling Solar Flare Cheddar bread sticks and Sun Spot (chocolate chip) cookies. DW ordered some special seasonings for the tarte.

I see where stores around Nashville are building the hype over
The need for solar sun glasses. It is working as some stores are
Out and reordering them. Are we still on to get glasses, or should
We plan on bringing some?
