    Re: The Changing Economics of Expediting

    We still have a seasonal camp site in Goodfield, IL that the family goes to every weekend. We just canceled pulling the camper out this year because of the expense. Our seasonal is a Yogi Bear where the kids get to swim, do crafts and activities, and drive golf carts, so I don't think they will suffer too bad. But by the time you pull the camper 250 miles and stay in the campground there at Indiana Beach and spend all that extra money, it can add up fast over 7 kids, so even our extended family that have campers, felt the expense was too high this year. But thanks for the chin up OVM.

    Sarah named mine Mr Truck. Far cry from Barney, which the former owner's kids named it. Barney is NOT burgundy.

    People name their boats, so why not?
