All are invited to join us at Rocky Neck State Park on the Connecticut Shoreline on Friday May 19 and Saturday May 20 for PROMASTER CONNECTicut 2023.

Last year we had 9 Promaster Van families participate. Based on discussions with many of the participants, I decided to lock in site Osprey OSPR12 where I was located last year for Friday & Saturday. It's a good central site and should serve as an anchor site for any events we may want to have. In addition to the early booking, I'm contacting SquezeInn, hoping he will help co-host the event again!

If you're interested, you should book quickly, because spaces are being booked every day. Many campers want to get out there, and this is the weekend before the Memorial Day Camping Frenzy! Reservations are made at www.reserveamerica.com.

SITES TO BOOK: The Osprey area is a nice shady, yet comfy loop.

Right now, Osprey sites OSPR02,03,04,05,06,07*,08,09,10,11,12 & 16 are available... *I'm contacting SqueezeInn tonight - he may want to book site OSPR07 again... I hope so! The top of the loop has sites that are not too far away either!!!

These sites are just down the path from a beautiful beach, and are in a nice wooded area. As is typical in many CT State Parks, restrooms, showers, and water is nearby all sites, but no shore power hookups available... but for a few nights, this is a nice spot to stay, compare notes, see how others have built their Promaster, etc.

Like last year, I will be grilling CT's famous Hummels Hot Dogs for our Friday night dinner... my treat! They're great and the perfect supper after a drive to Rocky Neck for the weekend.

Here are a few pics PROMASTER CONNECTicut 2022. We hope for a BIGGER EVENT this year!

Just wanted to extend appreciation to @proeddie and @SqueezeInn for all their work organizing and coordinating the Connecticut Meet Up. Despite the weather, a great time was had by all, and I was impressed with all of the different ways everyone has set up their vans and how they all work to meet their individual needs. Plenty of great ideas to share. As my first time out with a partially finished van, even if it was only 10 minutes away, this was a great experience. Can't wait to get out on more trips now and for next year's Meet Up

It was fantastic seeing everyone!
What rain?

We left Conn and headed South to Shenandoah. There is certainly some haze in the air from fires but the views are still good.


Thank you Mr and Mrs ProEddie and SqueezedInn for putting together another great event.

Bear helps itself to 60 cupcakes from Connecticut bakery

AVON, Conn. (AP) — A hungry black bear barged into the garage of a Connecticut bakery, scared several employees and helped itself to 60 cupcakes before ambling away.

Workers at Taste by Spellbound in the town of Avon were loading cakes into a van for delivery on Wednesday when the bear showed up. There are between 1,000 and 1,200 black bears living in Connecticut, the state environmental agency says, with sightings last year in 158 of the state’s 169 towns and cities.
