Vagov, We stayed at Camper's Paradise this past Labor Day. We Had an enjoyable time with old friends. Wife and I tried Kayaking for the 1st time down the Clarion River (gonna buy a couple....we liked it). We can definately go back next summer with NEW FRIENDS. Curiousity: What sites did they hold for you??? Have you camped there before? I am that other PGH guy that responded to your "welcome" post with a bunch of JAGOFF remarks concerning Pittsburgheese. Maybe we can be of assistance if you choose to plan a North/East Rally. Shoestring shoestring, last june we stayed in cooks forest ridge campground, but they are putting some new renovations in the BEST loop, so we decided to try campers paridise for this comming june rally, i am trying to get the whole back section of the campground, (51-83 i beleive) off the top of my head. , by the pavillion, ours to use free of charge for our potluck if we get min 10 reservations. mostly water/electric sites plus some full hookup sites available. they didnt give us a exact site numbers yet, but said they would put us all together, i have 15 sites reserved under my name john kreuzer. tell them you want to camp with the popup portal rally! last year we had 5 popups, a truck camper, and one tent, hoping to at least double it this year, plus excited to use my new tt alot this comming year. all are welcomed. it would be great to get some KZ,s in the mix also! we didnt kayak, but rented canoes for a 10 mile trip, it was awlsome!! deff want to do it again, please consider joining us , we can have a double KZ/popup portal rally, or come as a guest!!! what part of PGH are you from? i live in the south hills< and really like my new spree escape 196.

we stayed at the state park campground , down by old mans cave we stayed up top of hill on right side loop. the camp sites are all not perfectly level, however seems like the sites on the left side going towards the water tower are somewhat more level than the right side ones, as stated before great place to camp, and visit but even though most viewing areas so have some parking lots, still in my opinion, alot of walking, i hiked more of the connecting trails to get to one attraction to another, and yes i was tired by days end.

After taking my new escape 196s out for its virgin run last weekend. I noticed a air bubble in the floor by the bunks and fridge. Noe it has been sitting at dealer for over ta week. The shop said. They tried putting. Pin hole in it and heT shrinking it. But not luck. Feels that since the floor comes without being actually glued down completly. This occured while installing the furniture. They may try removing the bunks and fridge to try pushing air bubble out. Or replace the whole peice of vinal flooring. They are waiting on a response. By kz now. I was told. I hope it get done soon. Was hoping on one more trip before winterization. But. Time is not on my side. Worried about it getting too cold here in NW PA. Plus need to store in indoor mines. Soon

Well i just called the dealership about my new 196s. Still being at the shop. They said everything is fixed except the air bubble in the floor, they tried putting. Pin hole in it and heat shrinking it down. But no luck, feels that since the floor comes from factory without really being glued down, the air bubble occured after installing the furniture in it, they mAy have to remove the bunk beds and fridge. Then see if tthey can push the air out completly or put down new liniuom. Waiting on kz. For advice. Hopefully they will resolve this issue soon. StArting to get cold here in NW PA And after running water throu it last weekend. Getting nervous about wimterization.

I stayed at hockings hills. Last spring for the first time. Beautiful. And the cayons and overtlooks are out of this world. The only thing i didnt like was. There is alot of walking. Up and down steep paths and steps. To get to viewing areas. Deffently something. More suitable for the younger generation. But once you fet there. Well worth the trip
