Thanks for the info. 104 was open for that weekend. I'll call and see if I can switch.

Site 93 should not be too bad.  I looked at the map and seems open to some degree.  The pics are site 104 and I grab that site or 108 as much as I can.  Actually in camping there those are the only 2 sites I have been on.  Been there about 3 dozen times now and it never gets old.

Thanks!  One of the things I REALLY enjoy about our State Parks....no fireworks - not even sparklers - due to the fire hazard.  All of the pops and bangs start getting on my nerves along about September Cry.

Have a great weekend, David! One day we can swap stories - like in the army we used log tables, books or trig tables and work sheets to do survey!
Don't burn your fingers on any sparklers and be safe.

I'm enjoying reading your posts, guys.  When I have more time, I'll tell you about the days of old ..... before hard drives! LOL  Heck, even floppies! 
Heading out now for the Holiday weekend, as I expect many are.  I hope all have a safe and enjoyable time....Happy 4th! Smile
 
PS - Thanks for the pics, rpodcamper!  I'll do some more checking when I get back.  Doing a Smoky's & Shenandoah run this October and have a day or two left to plan on the way back home.  This place looks like it has potential! Smile

Thanks, guys. Great photos, rodcamper! We're in site 93, so not quite as isolated to the rear of the site as thatr center is - hmmm,I wonder if we can change??
Techntrek, I almost started down the road of an elctronics geek after HS, actually signed up to take a course in 'fixed transmitter repair' in the army, but escaped and went to OCS. But went to biology in college, then got hooked and stayed on for a doctorate. Now I do international tech sales and design for a lab furniture company...the road bifurcates many times in that yellow woods! I was the first grad student at Arizona State to compose his dissertation on a computer (Apple II) and had to get special permission to have it printed on a daisy wheel printer from the computer instead of using a typewriter. Our first PC was a clone from a local home brew outfit with a massive 5 Mb hard drive. Now I create 100MB PowerPoint sales presentations!!

I've never been to the pool either, I didn't know it was so nice.

Above are some pics I took of site 104 which we have used many times.  I like having the water tower behind me then there is no one behind me.  sites are nice and shady in loops a,b, and most of c Loop D is all out in the sun.  They have a large pool (but we have never used it) and also large lake (26 miles of shore line).  I kayak so i love it!  Not too far from Gettysburg but alot nicer and quite than what you get closer.

Apologies to rpodcamper for jumping in, I originally was going to say a sentence or two but it ended up a full chapter!

Podsible, I think you made a good call considering its going to be Labor Day weekend.  I wouldn't expect a party crowd there especially since alcohol is forbidden (although one or two drinks are accidentally poured into a cup and then are accidentally enjoyed around my campfire when I'm there Ying Yang).

I've always been a techie, from teaching myself how to program when I was 12, to interests in all things electronics including building things many years ago.  I'm the guy that always has the bleeding edge cell phone (I've had one since 1994, way ahead of the curve) and for many years I had bleeding edge computers, too.  Not so much anymore because I work on them all day so I want cheap and trouble-free at home, but back in the day I built them from parts (when you had to know about IRQs and 10 megabyte hard drives were huge).  The trek part is due to backpacking and of course family camping since I probably won't ever get my wife to hike up a mountain.

See you in August, yup!

Thanks for the update on the park, it sounds like a very nice place to camp, techntrek! (Just what do you tech?) I looked on the PA map for green and a campground, because we have found state and NF campgrounds to be to our liking over the years. So I didn't look for a commercial site closer to G'burg. Who knows where we'll be on Halloween...We'll be going to Cape Cod on our way to Maine in August- visit some family and see how things have changed again - spent many summers there as a child and until grad school - a long time ago! See you in August.
