I'm Back from Campground School
I had the best time! I met lots of great people. I learned alot and I'm more excited about this venture more than ever! Oglebay Resort was just great and the food was too too great everything was buffet style (I still fit into my jeans).

I missed you all!!!

Hopefully I'll find something next year. Of course I have to wait for the right park. I had a guy interested in investing in my park.

For some reason I read this and thought that you had bought a place.

Still looking at Utah?

Too cold in Utah, it is Arizona. It's close enough to Utah for me to drive to GSE.

Okay, I'm sorry to have to ask this (why am I always the last one to know these things?!), especially right after a great weekend and everything but I must know....

Tango, are you a man or a woman?!

I thought you were female and now I'm sure I've been wrong all this time! It's like DeoreDx all over again. Please don't make too much fun of me.

Nope, Phil's photo page never crossed my mind. You're too smart Stovestomper.

LOL

Hey all! Sass! OMG! Too funny! I do have to get a new pic up though yuck! Sass is it the campground thing that made you doubt?


As for snow there was a dusting while I was there, but really everything was brown and ugly, it would be beautiful in the summer and if there would have been snow it would have looked great. It was snowing when I left. When I arrived I went from the shuttle into the lodge and didn't go outside till I left. I really didn't have time, we had a full schedule from 7:45 AM and could go all the way up to 9 PM.

I went to the first 1/2 of my campground management school sponsored by ARVC. I have 1 more week to do next year. I am looking to buy a campground/RV park in Arizona.

Lizs, got your email! Cool.
Tango

Cool, you gonna have some kick ass tent sites in a remote area by a nice creek for your old TT friends, or are you going to become one of those stuck up snobbish RVers?

BTW, I wonder what the official position is on sugar in grits among the Arizona people.

Hell, they probably don't even have grits out there.

Nope, I have no idea what made me think that. In my defense it was way past my bedtime. I'm sorry (looking sheepish).

Sass: The second post on the thread should have given you a clue.

I know Ped. I reread this morning to see what I was thinking and saw it. I wasn't even drinking last night or anything, swear!

But what we really need to know is what kind of campgroung Tango is looking for? Are you thinking KOA or rustic ranch?
Sassafras

Broke Back Campground??

Thank you all.

I will be looking for an independent. I am looking for around 100 sites to start with the possibility of expansion. That's my ideal and go from there. I will be selling my home in about 2 months or so. I only have 1 duplex left to sell. I am ON MY WAY!!

Chili, here is where it all started.
