Good deal... Thanks Lisa B we really appreciate everything you do for the Gathering... and the Forums for that matter ... As Doug said.. we use them for our left overs and there are usually plenty of them ...

getting closer every day and a I am so ready for a vacation...
 
Hey Doug & Keith, you guys better call Highlands Hammock Park to see if they will be open in November.

Irma pretty much destroyed the park & they have said they are closed until further notice.

They also cancelled any events that were set for Sept. & Oct.

Oh wow...i had no idea. I'll call today and see what i can find out. Thanks for the heads up Al!
 
So i called HH and no answer, i'll try again in a couple hours but guessing nobody will be at the guard shack. 

As Al said, all events in Sept and Oct have been cancelled, no mention yet of November

Current Park Closures in FL also lists HH

I tried their Facebook page but doesn't seem to be updated often and the last post was from before the hurricane.

I'll keep trying to get in contact.

IF we have to relocate this year...any suggestions? I'm hoping it doesnt come down to that as its not to far in the future and we've all already made our plans :/
 
That's great @Cuckoo4141! I"ll update the first page with your information!.

Let's hope that the park is able to get cleaned up and opened by then!
 
ok... 2 months and counting (hurry up) ... are we doing any friendly comps ??

The above is what I had on draft... was gonna post last night ... now it may not matter....

will start looking around for plan B
 
Well if the park is closed, the community I live in has over 200 RV sites. And it's only about 3 miles from HH Park. I don't know if they would all be booked in Nov., but I doubt it. The spots are very large & while you stay here you have all the access to the entire community. Including pool, fitness center, pool room, tennis, etc. The bathrooms & shower facilities are like a Country Club. There is also a laundry room. It may be another option.

Lake Louisa state park in Clermont may be a option. If we choose another SP our reservation money can be transferred.
Craig
Both great options....

Al - What is the name of it i'll give a call and get some info, maybe they'll work out a deal if we get a bunch of spots together? Pool sounds awesome after a long day of BBQ haha

Craig - i'll check out Lake Louisa

Input from anyone else about the 2 above locations or something else? I'm going to call HH again today to see if i can get ahold of anyone.

Keith - I'm  up for comps...As of now we've talked about Ribs and Cocktails...i'm IN for both. Do we want to do anything else? Less is more in my opinion

Here is a little about the place. http://www.hometownamerica.com/Tanglewood/Amenities

The person to talk to would be Cheyenne, at 863-402-1500.

Al
 
I'm not sure about the tents, but under the circumstances I would think they would allow them.

Your just going to have to call Cheyenne.

Al
 
Al - I'll give them a call later today...been a crazy busy week at work and today as well. But i'll find out what they have available

Keith - I dont know...in my opinion they kind of peed in our cheerios to many times (excuse my language haha)....but i dont want this even to falter so if we have to thats an option
 
Just a wild thought It's gonna be sunny and 86 this weekend. Come up to VT. That's gotta be close to normal Florida weather.
