We want to thank DanB and Dawn for stopping by for campfire time at the backyard! That was a delightful surprise. Al (ctdair) we tried to call you to wish you happy happy, but you were out of the loop, I guess. Hope you had a good birthday. We had yummy strawberries and ice cream to celebrate your birthday, without you...LOL! Thanks to Jean and Al for the strawberries and ice cream. Wish you hadn't missed it.

Ok, because I am too tired and lazy tonight to retype it and Loudruff is on me to get it posted asap so as many of you can join us as possible... please check out the following link (I may be lazy tonight, but at least I posted the direct link instead of making you hunt it down

)

I hope those of you close to Mohican can join us!

We went to Columbus for Birthday supper with the kids. Ate way to much and had strawberry cake for desert. Hope to see You all today and will have to read the post Loren linked to see if we can make that.

Tonight was the potluck. Shinim and Al (ctdair) stopped by with great teriyaki chicken and ginger tea. That should cure Larry's sore throat! We had a nice dinner and then went outside for the campfire..strawberries and ice cream for dessert...thanks to Jean and Al. Jean is in the Cleveland Marathon tomorrow and we wish her the best of luck. Hopefully, the clear weather will continue for the morning. Jean and Al won't be heading out until Mon. so we have another great day to spend with them.
Where are ther rest of you this weekend??

Airbiscuit · 05-19-2009, 10:52 PM

So we had a bit of fun shopping with Shinim. I don't think any of the guys will let us go shopping again. But we had a blast and laughed ALOT! We had a great time indeed.

Oh, when looking at the following picture, keep in mind the front seat is built for 2... I still had to get in to drive!

DanB · 05-20-2009, 07:56 AM

Is that building in the background in Oberlin? Crap, even when I'm screwing around at work reading the forums, I run across my projects I should be working on........

Mikethefixit · 05-20-2009, 08:31 AM

Whow
Great picture Lou and Shinim. I suppose that's AirBiscuit in the back,just guessing. All smiles, must be ya had a good time maxin out the credit cards,LOL. We need a vacation bad . Anyone plannin anything?
I hope I don't get another round for a few days ,but with this nice weather I assume the machines will be cutting away and breakin down, so I know they will be comming. There just seems to be no end to it this yr. Because of no jobs,everyone and his brother is cutting grass to make money. I seem to be repairing more old lawnmowers than normal, cause people cant afford to buy new. Thanks for the Pic Airbuscit

Hi! We are backyard camping this weekend. We decided to not fight the crowds and stay right here. We have all the amenities and plenty of room. So if anyone wants to join us you are welcome. Looks like we might have nice weather...at least warmer. Loren has already put her pop up in the backyard and our trailer is in one driveway all ready for camping!!!!
DanB, yes that is Oberlin. We went slummin' there and found lots of stuff we could bring home as the students check out and can't move home with all their "stuff". Gabby made out like a bandit on current wearables. Seems someone knew just where to look. We had a blast and came home with a van packed full.
Roger, no that is Jean, (Our favorite Marathon walker, and wife of Big Al) in the backseat. Shinim and I in the front seat. Loren, aka Airbiscuit, is taking the picture. We are glad you are working, but it is time to take a few days off. Come on up and join us if you have the time.

Great thread. I will also bookmark this so I can see where people will be. I am about 2 months away from finishing my 78 and would love to camp with other Airstreams. I was sure that nobody in Ohio had one. We camp in mostly Ohio, IN, and KY and last year I saw (1) in a state campground. Where are all of you camping? See you in 2 mths.

There are a whole bunch of us in the state of Ohio who have found this site and each other. We have a bunch of get togethers around the state during the year. We met up with a bunch and made it to Natural Bridge, KY in mid April for the Dogwood and Bluegrass Rally. There are quite a few folks that we have met that are down your way. You can do a members search by state to find out who and where if you have the time.

And a contingent of us are going to join the MI group at Milan, MI at KC Campground on July 31-Aug. 2. That is a fun group to visit. Here is the link to that discussion that goes on and on and on. http://www.airforums.com/forums/f288...-47314-29.html

And, we have a driveway rally going on here most anytime that someone is passing through and wants to use our courtesy parking, or when someone would like to do a first time shakedown "camp-in". You are welcome to join us anytime!!! Welcome to the group!!
Lou and Larry...30 mi. SW of Cleveland...or so.

We are all set for Memorial Day weekend here in the backyard. Much less of a crowd and all the amenities. Looks like Airbiscuit will be in her popup and my kid brother is coming with his teardrop. What are the rest of you Ohio folks doing this weekend???

Mikethefixit · 05-22-2009, 06:10 AM

Hi Lou and Larry
I have not had time to read this thread lately. This does come as a surprise. If you mentioned doing a driveway camp this weekend,I guess I missed it. I have taken time to take the anti-freeze out of the trailer and purge all systems.I did tell MaryLou to start stockin so we could be ready to pull out in a few hrs notice but that is not finished yet.
With a little more warning I think we could have come up about Thursday nite and left on TUES. and missed most of the crowds on the highways.Its a little late for us to get started now. Maybe something else will come up.
Ok back to work .
Later Lou

loudruff · 05-22-2009, 08:10 AM

Roger,
You should never be surprised by us having a driveway camp in! We are a good destination for a shake down camp. And we do not do crowds very well on these long weekends. We would rather have fun in our own yard.....and it is less costly....and has lots of amenities! LOL! You are welcome to come on up. We have nothing formal planned. We are having a picnic tonight whenever everyone gets here from work. So why not pack up today and toodle on up?? We will be here. Nothing planned for Mon. except we have to walk 2 blocks to the town Memorial Day Parade. Larry and I take a big cooler of water and give it to the band kids who play at the Veteran's services and march the parade, as we are band boosters. That is always fun!
Anyone else doing anything interesting???

WineStream · 05-22-2009, 09:35 PM

We would have loved to have joined but we've got to dedicate some time to our real family, not just our Airstream family.

We're down in Millersburg this weekend at Lake Buckhorn. The pontoon boat will go in the water sometime. I've got some motorcycle riding to do (prep. for the relay for life poker run...tough work!) and some mowing to do at home. The field has grown very tall and it's time for a trim plus Andrea needs some extra mulch for the garden. Sorry Larry & Lou, we won't be there this weekend. We're Jones'n for some more camping after our trip to GA last weekend. But, tight $ and gas price is keeping the AS in the driveway. Plus, we've got a small plumbing leak in the bathroom to troubleshoot.

loudruff · 05-28-2009, 01:02 PM

Yep, we are going to be at Delaware SP, Area #4, site #23, right next door to Al and Shinim. Hope some of the rest of you will be able to join us. We all decided to go at the last minute. Hopefully, we will have some sunshine there!
Lou and Larry

DanB · 05-28-2009, 01:45 PM

We are camping at Cedar Point this weekend! Hoping for good weather

loudruff · 05-28-2009, 02:50 PM

The weather on the lake is always a chancy thing, I guess. It looks like a partly cloudy weekend. We will also be hoping for a good sunny weekend. But, Hey, this is Ohio!!! LOL! Have a fun time anyways, Dan and family!
Lou

WineStream · 05-28-2009, 06:10 PM

this is a bummer. We've been jones'n for a camping weekend again and Delaware SP looks nice. We'd love to join by it's Relay for Life "season" in our area and I'm occupied with activities related to that for the next two weekends.
