Did you make your pole? I did this in about 10 minutes , from memory.
Had to put some weight in the tail piece to balance it.

Yeah, mine's made. I put a threaded joint at the top of the vertical piece,
and add about a foot horizontally at the base of the section holding the
flag (using another 45 degree piece). Eventually we'll put a name sign on
it. It works very well!
Send me a picture.

I'll do so in a couple weeks. Right now the trailer is at the yard, but
we're going to Niagara Falls when our friends from the Netherlands get
here. It's almost identical to this one, with a threaded joint at the top
of the vertical section. That makes it a little less bulky for storage in
the trailer.

Go ride the Maid of the Mist on the the Canadian side. Much better boat
ride up to the falls.

The Niagara Falls trip will have to wait for spring. It seems the
campgrounds, at least the several I looked at, all close their doors on
October 15th, or earlier.

We then thought to visit Cape Cod, but the news was the same. We found one
that was open, but all the facilities were closed on October 15th.

So, we're going to West Virginia instead.

Campgrounds in the north country close in the winter due to lack of
business and freezing water pipes. Besides, most RVs aren't that well
insulated. It would cost a fortune to keep them warm in the winter.

I found what appears to be a nice campground in Parsons, WV. Not overly
expensive, and in the middle of some beautiful country. Hell, if we get
bored watching the leaves change and the river flow by, we can bike to town
and be real tourists.

And you have the bikes to do it with. I did look on line and saw that
they do have quite a good reputation among avid bike riders.

Damn...and I was going to pay for your barrel ride, too.

I recommend the Hotel Morgan in Morgantown. Nice old hotel, comfy rooms,
great downtown location, right across the street from Madeleine's
Restaurant. Much more comfortable than a tin-can camper.

Oh...for a classy guy like you, though...you might prefer Nitro, West
Virginia. Kind of a smelly, chemical-laden atmosphere. You won't notice
the stench.
