No Cassette Potti onboard...jest a little too little space (ie, air space...) for um, a CP. This is why you stay at campgrounds with fine CS facilities... We've taken our p/u all over the south and have enjoyed it as well.Quote:

Close. That my friend, is a 2000 Coleman Utah CP. Do you have the CP? Do you know what the CP is? I love the fact that it is emblazoned right there on the side of my camper.
I also bought mine new. In November 1999. We have had it for over 10 years now. And we have used the heck out of it! Best purchase I have ever made!
And, I see you are from U.C.L.A. I have a friend who I've mentioned before whose wife is from L.A. (Enterprise), and who tells people all the time that he is going to L.A. when they go to visit her family. Also, you have been a Disboard member since 2007, and you have four posts. What's up with that?
I greatly enjoyed the report, TCD. You have been sorely missed my friend. My favorite part? The rails!
I have a theory as to why these rails remain while they were removed everywhere else. Given the use of extra measures (bolted spike plates and gauge rods) I suspect that this was a troublesome section of rail, probably due to the swampiness. The crews who were recycling the rails may not have been equipped to handle the frozen bolts and rods used on this section of track and opted to just leave it. It would seem, from the photos at least, that they took all the spikes and spike plates that were not bolted... even on light rail projects there would be more plates than shown (on heavy rail it is spiked at every tie). It seems unlikely that they would take the plates and skip the rails unless they were just too much trouble for the return. Anyhow, it's a theory. I can't be there to see them myself, so I'll do what I can... theorize!
Thanks again
Thanks TCD - your post brought back so many fond memories. But I have a few questions. Maybe someone can help me out.
as the peacock?
And what happened to the shoes in the shoe tree?
And why is the lawnmower tree a lawnmower stump?
What about the guy that drove around in his little delivery truck banging on his skillet who brought eggs to your campsite if you forgot them? Or the elf that hung Christmas stockings on your camper door on Christmas Eve? And the fresh air-conditioned tram?? Okay, I know - they're gone too.
Oh, it has been way too long since I have taken a trip to the Fort!!
WOW! You are in serious need of a Fort vacation!!
They cleaned out the shoe tree (someone help me out here) early 2009?
