Parr8hed Posted March 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2022 This weekend. Supposed to play ball in Greenwood IN. Not Emmy's team, subbing. First outdoor tourney of the season. I was set to take the camper. You see, there is not much that I like better than waking up at the ball park, having coffee getting ready to go from the comfort of your camper then walking across the parking lot to see the games. Coming back to take a nap between games. It's really dope. But Friday night looks like snow/rain. Low of 20. Sat looks like it will be a high of 30 low of 15. Not sure I want to drag the camper up to set it up in those conditions. I mean, I really do.... but is it worth it? I love a challenge but I am also worried about winterizing/dewinterizing, etc. I am thinking that I should prob just hotel it. Or drive back and forth? What say you?

Wilbur ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2022 Spring is near! Do the early de-winterizing and enjoy your between game snoozes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2022 I vote for a hotel room this time. Pulling a camper in snow can't be fun. Too far for you to drive each day as it's up near Indianapolis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 7, 2022 Share #4 Posted March 7, 2022 Another vote for a hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted March 7, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 7, 2022 don't be a sissy.. take the camper and do what you like.. why pay for a room if you have one on wheels. Thats like taking an uber to your car you parked a 1/2 mile down the road because you don't wanna walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants to sit around in 30 degrees watching softball. Even though I have a few heaters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinneR ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #7 Posted March 7, 2022 I've got a -40 sleeping bag and a bivy sack you can use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #8 Posted March 7, 2022 I'd hotel it, but then I am old. I would not be using the camper in those conditions. Some here just don't fill their water tanks until it warms up, and just use the camper for sleep. They carry bottled water, beer, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted March 7, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 7, 2022 Those are tough conditions for the players. I vote hotel, and lots of hand warmers. mr. would probably vote camper. We’ve got a big file of ER visit bills to accompany his adventuresome spirit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted March 7, 2022 Share #12 Posted March 7, 2022 Can't they just find somebody else to do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No facilities over night in the parking lot, stinky daughter needs shower for the next day! But I would certainly do that if we were at a park with a washouse or something like that.

az_cyclist Posted March 7, 2022 Share #14 Posted March 7, 2022 Have you checked hotel vacancies and rates? Greenwood was a nice area when I lived in Indy (Franklin Twp) , but I have been gone for over 20 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted March 7, 2022 Just got word that it is cancelled. They are looking for somewhere else to play (hopefully indoors). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
