what's wrong w / the Starboard huh???

With so much talk about VT meetings around here, I thought I'd announce a new one. I've not been to this event, but watching pumpkins fly through the air with the greatest of ease, and the hanging around in a cornfield in early winter, drinking beer, building fires, and wearing plaid is oddly compelling to me. How about you? ****** On November 3, come to Bridgeville, Delaware, to watch the Pumpkin Chunkin' contest. Bridgeville is sort of in the middle of nowhere, so about two hours—or less—from many of the Mid-Atlantic's somewhere spots: Baltimore, DC, and Philadelphia. We'll meet at that fabulous Jimmy's Grille in Bridgeville, probably around noon. Better fried chicken, biscuits, and pies you'd be hard pressed to find, and then we'll carpool to the Pumpkin Chunkin' field. Cost is7 per person, and2 per car for parking. We can (and should) bring food and beverages, including beer, wine, whatever; folding chairs and blankets are helpful, too. If anyone wants to travel in for this major fest, we'll have drinks and dinner in Baltimore the night before. This link should explain all: http://www.punkinchunkin.com/main.htm And, specifics will follow. C'mon, it's time to release your inner hillbilly!

I'm looking for a place to go camping that's not withing camp grounds, but legal or a campground that you can hike to find your own spot along the river. Every place I call or see onling provides a fire ring and a location that they choose for you. I really love to camp and don't want much help or people around. Is this possible? I'm also looking for the best area for white water. Thanks for your help!

I am a divorced mother of 2 grown children and I'm thinking of moving to Sussex County, Del preferably Lewes or Rehoboth Beach area. Presently I reside in Northern NJ and work as a teacher at a public high school. I'm wondering how affordable a 4 bedroom/2 - 3 baths house would be? Two friends of mine are considering relocating also because Delaware seems more affordable and we love the beaches in Del. How is the job market in Sussex County? Which town in Sussex has the better middle and high schools? One of my friends will be transferring her children to the Delaware school system. Is Lewes racially diverse? Are there good private schools if the public schools are not adequate? Also what area is nice for 3 women with 2 kids (middle & high school) that would be convenient to the beach area? We would prefer a house but would consider a condo. One of the kids also wants to attend the University of Delaware in 2008 so we would qualify for instate tuition. I've only vacationed in the area twice but all of us loved the area and it seems more affordable than Bergen County. Please tell me all you know about Lewes and neighboring towns. I'm planning to relocate in April 2007. Thanks

Are there any apartments in Dover, De which has an indoor swimming pool and a fitness center inside the property complex? thanks

Hey I am moving to wilmington next month and wanted to know names of some good apartments. I checked out the ratings of some of these apartments here: apartmentratings.com/rate?a=...... And most of them have bad ratings/reviews. After reading some of the reviews, I cant even think of moving in there. Any recommendations from ppl living in wilmington. Anything below 1000$/month is good for me. I like something close to the office. My office is located in downtown (CHase bank). Even something in the range of 10-15 mins drive is good enough. Thanks for your advice
