I bought off eBay but here is a link to their store.

We ordered the sign Sunday and it was delivered Saturday.

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to show a pic of the new sign we just had made. The detail is awesome! We are just thrilled with it and wanted to share.
Happy camping, John

We wanted something that was light and did not take up very much space. We also wanted it to be easy to set up and take down. we went with the Garden Flag Pole from Lowes. It is item #3631 and costs $7.98; it works great for us.

OMG, 3 pages and no one has whined about the "light pollution" or anything else. Must be a new record.

LOL when I first saw RoyB's posting I thought he was joking about having his wife stand there holding a sign. It took a minute for me to spot the actual sign post in the picture. :B

She only has to stand and hold it when the wind is blowing! Hopefully he brings her meals! Chris

I get in trouble all the time from the wife when I post this picture - I have another shot of the sign post without the wife but can never find it when I need it... Its lost in the computer somewhere


The wife didnt come from Lowes hehe... I think it was a Dairy Queen in Arkansas way back then in my Air Force days the 60's...

I run a drop cord to my setup and I think it looks great out front. The little kids always likes to see some light walking up from their camp sites to the bath room. I usually shut things down at 10PM and a whole of bunch of little kids had just started up the road when i turned it off. They got close to our site and I heard one "wasn't there a light here" I plugged it all back in for them haha... Left it on until they all made it back to their setups down the road...

I try to say sometime when I post someones photos by adding a comment like "from google search" where I ran across it. Everynow and then someone sees their own photo posted again... As you all know that everything you post on the Rv NET is posted on-line right after you post here so I use google for my image folder. I search for a couple of words shown in my RV NET signature line 'k9pht 14RT' which is pretty much unique to me only and when it loads up I switch to 'images'. The resulting 20 pages or so of images are 99 percent all of my posts. Then it is very easy to just click on the photo and repost again in another thread...

To have a spike that will hold your post straight you can yse a CONCRETE FORM STAKE .
It looks like this :
http://www.deerso.com/product/d63806/steel-nail-stake?gclid=CLCzmc6GlrsCFQNqfgodWRQAWA

I drive the solid steel spike into the ground with my 6 pound splitting maul .
I then can slip a 1 inch ( or larger ) pipe over the concrete form stake to support whatever I need .
The advantage is the concrete form stake is very durable and reuseable .
And the pipe I slide over it takes no damage from installation .
This concept also works for posts used to install a dining canopy and so forth .

Shadows 4, the base is a cast iron deck umbrella base from Lowes. Heavy metal with a center tube for the umbrella to go into. Just slide the pvc lamp post over it, is a good fit.

Thanks for the link to the wood signs!!
