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.
