i could check around for a campground near allentown, there are a few.. the
dorney park thing sounds like a fun idea (i live 5 mins from dorney) but
remember dorney shuts down for the season at the end of oct..
if you all want to do the green lane park thing, thats fine with me, its a
nice park, and they have a huge resivoir... and they're literally right out
BusDepot's back door.. i mean, if ron picks his nose, and flicks the booger,
it would land in green lane park.. (what a nice mental image, huh LOL )
if we pick the green lane venue, then Ron will have to have a BusDepot open
house..right? :<) that means he might have to actually clean the shop LOL
just kidding ron..
( can hear ron swearing at me from here) LOL anyway, what do y'all want to
do?
the green lane park thing? im fine with that..its like a 30 min drive south
of allentown, tho.
anyone else have any other venues they want to suggest?
post them up so we can make a decision..
