Hawkpod (Beth and Tim), DocTom (Tina and Tom), Moose (Terri and Grant) , PowerLift (Linda, Mike, Colette and Brendt), and Dori and Todd were present.

 

 Friday was 101* and humid, but Monday morning was around 50* and just perfect weather, rain on Saturday (minimal) helped bring down the temps and humidity. The campground at Weston Bend is great, heavily treed with good space between units. It is a beautiful place for camping, hiking, biking, shopping, eating, and making new friends.

 

I don't think anyone had seen this many R-pods together (other than at a dealership). Forest River should give us comissions for the number of questions answered and tours given! The camp host wondered if we were a club, some stopped and wondered if r-pods were new "rental" units, but everyone was interested in why we were all there and the strange and interesting trailers we had. R-pods and r-podders received thumbs up from everyone I talked to.

 

Many of the area attractions were visited, from O'Mally's Irish Restaurant and Pub, and other stores and restaurants in the Town of Weston, to the Irish Fest at Kansas City's Crown Center, to meditation with Tibetian Buddhist Monks on the Country Club Plaza, to the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs, Kansas.

 

A very friendly and some what rowdy crew needed to be reminded by the campground host that quiet time was observed from 10 pm to 6 am. All I can say is that Tina and I had a wonderful time meeting everyone, what a nice group of people have R-pods! We are looking forward to doing this again next Labor Day . . . it would really be fun if we could fill the park with R-pods. Hope even more can come next year.
