Re: Rude campers to the extreme
Sorry for your trouble. LG RV is pricey and to have hostility on vk is a bummer. I stayed Here many times even the week you where. I guess I lucked out we had a good time. Honestly glad to say I am happy I was not next to this. LG RV does not let you pick your site just the section so the luck of the draw. I like the CG and never had a issue. Usually it is the state campgrounds that get loud in the area. Something about a $20 tent and a case of beer and no activities.398Views0likes0CommentsRe: nascar at Watkins Glen
Thank you all for the help. Email says pit terrace-15 row 9. Also says we get 2 fan visions. We own a scanner which we will bring also. Two years ago when staying at Sampson we drove to Watkins Glen but the $20 per car to drive the track was closed as they where getting ready for the nascar race in a few weeks. We actually were just looking for the racing museum and they told us about the drive the track deal. When I called the number for the track the call goes to someone in Florida. I am sure we will figure it out. Good to hear there is cell reception as the track seems to be away from town. Again thank you I really didn't see much on the web so I posted here and glad I did.430Views0likes0CommentsRe: nascar at Watkins Glen
Thank you for the responses. Expecting it to be a big party atmosphere which is great. Sometimes my kids get overwhelmed by the noise. Like the time I took them to the monster trucks. So I am bringing ear plugs and ear muffs. They should be fine since 43 cars spread out not like a smaller track as least that's what I am hoping. They seemed ok at the half mile dirt track with the modified cars and it has been over 7 years since the monster truck melt down. Really curious about our seats and what we will get to see other then the pits. Lastly I didn't realize Sampson so so popular during the race weekend. After race we are heading to Robert treman state park for the rest of the week.430Views0likes0CommentsRe: nascar at Watkins Glen
We are sitting in pit terrace. Not sure if that is a good spot for the race but it's where they put us. Is this a good spot? Also staying at gate 1 reserved row L. Couldn't afford track side. I image just a spot in a field not expecting more. Going to have a second car when wife joins us sat. morning. Not sure if allowed a second car on site. Hoping for cell reception so we can meet up easier. JLS did you stay in family section or is everything quiet at 10? Speaking of noise I Think a oval will be too much noise for my son That is reason for a road course for his first race. Clements I will be near the drunk guy wearing a Earnhardt shirt. Should narrow it down. lol. PS: Kids love Sampson, nice big sites and. Great bicycling but really looking forward to staying at the track.432Views0likes0CommentsRe: Letchworth State Park - NY
Stayed here in 2010 site 821. That site and ones on either side where good choices. No neighbors behind you. Gets real dark here and you can't see the many critters. Sitting at campfire occasionally point flash lite. Hey it is a raccoon, wait overthere is a skunk, what is that over there a possum. Kinda like a commercial. Bring good hiking shoes because there are miles of trails. Our site wouldn't run the ac without tripping the breaker every couple hours even with refrigerator on propane. Staying in June that will not be a problem for you. I am glad we went but probably a one and done for me.306Views0likes0Commentsnascar at Watkins Glen
Looking for any real life info on staying at the track for the nascar race at Watkins Glen. Bought tickets and assigned a spot in the reserved camping area already. We have been to a few races elsewhere but never here and never overnight with the camper. Plan is to stay until Monday then go to a state campground that we also have booked. Would appreciate hearing from people who stayed at the Glen for the race and their experiences. Thank You.2.3KViews0likes9CommentsRe: 3500W Inverter Generator for $699
Ok, I literally just got my champion 3100 delivered today feeling pretty good about paying $722 total due to overstock.com 15% coupon and no tax or shipping cost. Then I see this. More power almost same $ this a little more due the 8 % tax to buy locally. I think I got a better deal either way it is great to see invertor gens cost within reach now.340Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best state parks
Here in upstate NY we are fortunate to have several great state parks for camping. Part of the experience is planning way in advance for the best spot. As for the best it kinda depends on my mood. My fav's didn't make the list. Trying a new one this year maybe it will be my new fav.431Views0likes0CommentsHoneywell 2000i fixed
I have one of those hard starting hw2000i generators, hardly ever use it, but start generator up every 6 months or so when I'm in shed. Today I decided to finally fix it so it starts up easier. I picked up a squeeze primer bulb used for outboard motors put it between tank and fuel cut off switch. There is a compartment under tank, bulb just fits after a little trimming. After gassing gen. I pumped primer until I could see fuel go thru fuel filter. Started 2nd pull. I went back out several hours later and first pull starts it. I was kinda proud of myself.1KViews0likes2Comments
