Itinerary 7th Annual Camp-inn Camp-outt

George the high temps in Rochester this week have been in mid to low 60's. Cold wet week. Nights have been in the 50's.
Sure next weekend will be HOT.

"Postcard from Barcelona" (Apologies to Science Fiction Theater, cira 1955): No heater required -- Weather was beautiful in Bilbao this morning and here in Barcelona this evening. Mid-70's in the afternoon, mid-60's tonight. The downside: Probably (certainly) not a Camp-Inn trailer within 3,000 miles. Oh, well, my trusty 560 is patiently awaiting me at home, 4,500 miles away, for my next road trip two weeks from now.

Love that retired life.

 

Jim.

Sounds like you're enjoying some fantastic weather! Hope you can post some pics (even though you are sans your Camp-Inn).

Believe it or not, there is a Camp-Inn within 2,000 miles from you. To the best of my knowledge, it is floating around somewhere in the Netherlands.

Enjoy your trip!

 

Netherlands? Really!

Seven cities over 16 days (Bilbao, Barcelona, Sevilla, Cordoba, Malaga, Granada, Madrid) in a self-arranged tour. Aiming to practice my less-than-fluent Spanish, take in the local culture, try out the local foods and beers (especially the beers), and generally get the feel of the country. It surprised me to find that I can't practice Spanish in Bilbao and Barcelona the way I'd thought. Language not really "Spanish" per se. A mishmash of Eukera, Castellano, Spanish, French, whatever. All the signs look just weird.

Anyway, rained today in Barcelona, but not so much as to slow anybody down. What a fascinating place! I could spend a month just wandering the downtown streets on foot. By the time my two weeks are up, I'll probably be ready to head home for a couple of days (then off with the Camp-Inn to Albuquerque's annual Balloon Fiesta).

A bunch of tents
Couple of motorhomes
A travel trailer (maybe 2)
A few day visitors

 

Wow! We really want to come next year.

 

You should! You could be our visiting Unofficial CI Forum celebrity! We could have photo ops, autographs, etc.

I see a promotional tour in your future....

 

Hey Camp Inn,

Please rent circus tents to keep us dry this weekend.

Hmm, think I will bring the standie tent to use as a dry space.

Might have to borrow a space heater from Cary to keep it warm and dry.
Jean

 

Between Cranfest & October Fest, you couldn't find a tent to rent within 100 miles.

We put up a 70 ft tarp over the potluck area.

Not raining at the moment...got 1" last night; supposed to get 1" today & 3/4" tonight...then we are pretty much done with the rain.

 

Well, here in Rochester has been a downpoor all night and day. Flooding, roads closed. At least it's warm! Thankgoodness my house is dry.

 

Ya Jean, you guys got alot of rain over there. All over the weather channel this morning. We were just on the edge of the big rain area so only got a smaller portion of it.

Cary

 

Rain?!? Its supposed to be 102 here this weekend! Maybe I should have packed up and gone east.
Eileen

 

Hope you all have a wonderful time and take lots of pictures for those of us who can not attend.

 

Come on guys 4pm Eastern time and no photos or posts its been a quite weekend on the forum all of us did not attend want to hear all the stories and see the pics.

 

The gathering was great as usual. The weather co-operated...it was cool yet warm during the day and we got to enjoy the full moon at night shining over the lake. Awesome! Betsey has the final count but there were somewhere around 45 trailers (campinns, home builts, and others)

There was a birthday celebrated, plant tours, cranfest goers, and a special quilt presentation to one of our fellow campers. Very emotional weekend. Gathering of old friends and making of some new friends.

This was written by someone without a tear..." I had never been to a gathering before,I was pleasantly surprized at how outgoing and friendly everyone was to me ,a newcomer. The food was great!!!! I really enjoyed learning how to make the omlet in the bag,I will be using that trick in he future. It turned out that I have alot in common with "teardrop people". I look foreward to the next camp-inn gathering and I may go to some others."

As one camper wrote on another forum...
"Betsey - You are awesome!! A better planner, organizer, chopper, slicer, dicer, cooker, server and hostess could not be found anywhere!! Thanks for all your efforts and everything you do to make our weekend rock!!"

I'd say Campinn had some great reviews!!!

George it was nice meeting you and your wife. Look forward to seeing you again at future Campinn-Campouts if not before.
Ken & Peggy the same goes for you too...

 

George,
Tell us about the 560. You look good in front of it.
