April 10 is a Sunday. Is that the correct day it starts?

Yes, contrary to tradition, we are starting on a Sunday this time for several reasons. Still 4 nights, come early and/or stay after.
Here's a hint: we will be in the vicinity of "Florida's friendliest city" at a full service RV resort.
The details are falling into place. Hope you can join us!

Blueberry Hill RV Resort is in Bushnell, Florida, just off I-75. There is no rally fee aside from your site cost, and there is no entertainment or provided meals. But the there will be great conversations and new friends! Come for all four nights, or more or less.
It's about 10 minutes to the National Cemetery and a half hour to one of The Villages town center, where there is live music outdoors every evening.
The number is 352-793-4112. Choose the office prompt (not reservations) and ask for the Sunshine Thor rally. You'll need to pay at least a one night deposit of $46. Claim your site by March 10th. Our group sites are limited, but we may be able to add more if needed.
Please post or PM when you make your reservation. More details later!

Some smart folks have reserved their site for the rally in April. The longer you wait, the further yor site will be from the group and the pool and clubhouse.
Watch for an announcement soon about a special side trip that will make the event the best yet. Stay tuned for details...

Update on the 2022 Spring Sunshine Thor Rally.
I've arranged for a special Sunday weighing of RVs for our group! The cost is $45 for the RV and $10 for the toad or tow vehicle. They weigh all four corners separately, so you know your total weight and also how well balanced your are. It is recommended that you weigh loaded for travel, so this is a perfect opportunity. He will check your height, too. (Make a label on the dash as a reminder!)
Everyone should weigh their rig, even if you've weighed front and rear on a Cat scale. This is even better and very reasonable. The location is in the Sumter Oaks RV Park, which is 9 miles, 13 minutes south of Blueberry RV.
When I first weighed a previous Class A, I found that I needed to adjust the stored items to equalize the weight. It was a real eye opener! We will be weighing on our way to the rally.
Mike is the weighmaster. He may have available times on other days if you prefer. Schedule with him direct at: smartweigh3@escapees.com

Weighing update! Rates for weighing are going up on Jan 1st, but those of us who pay before the ball drops in Times Square we will pay the rate above. The new rate will be $60 for a motorhome and another $10 for extra vehicle.
Make your reservation and pay now and save!

Just a reminder about the discount weigh cost if you book and pay in December for weighing ahead of the rally. Still a bargain if you pay the 2022 rate. Plan now to join us in April!

Looking forward to making new friends and seeing some from earlier gatherings, too.
News flash! For flea market fans, there is a big market on Mondays at Webster. It's about 15 minutes away from our rally.
There's also a good diner, Chinese, burger joints and Wally Mt within a few blocks. And then theres one of The Villages town centers less than a half hour away. They have free live music outside every evening. A rockin great band every night! Shops and restaurants open every evening, too.

I learned...before I comment...to read the entire thread first...especially the original post. These posts have lots of echos in them.

I believe YOU should read from the beginning before you chastise me. Start with post #1 above . Other than a statement that it will be held in a central Florida location, there is no mention of a specific campground.
AND- - don't you think it would have been easier, friendlier, maybe a little more neighborly to just mention where it will be held (if you know)?

I stand corrected...see...I did it again. I re-read Post #1 and it said "a RV Resort". I remember the original post on this subject and the name was in it. I owe you a beer or 3 or 10. We'll drink through it.

I "think" I understand what you said, but I remain unable to understand the reason for the reluctance of the others to be forthcoming about the actual location- - especially now when reservations are so hard to come by unless inquiries are made MONTHS in advance. I expressed an interest last year and requested to be kept in the loop for this year. The above exchanges are the total extent of the info I was able to see. I waited for more info on the "central Florida resort" since I live there thinking it would be a very convenient gathering point.
I wonder if I'm not the only one in the dark.
I'm partial to any of the Sam Adams varieties.

Thanks Bob for finding that thread. I've merged the two threads so all the information is together.

Soooooooo; Thanks, Bob for that information. With the scarcity of available sites at almost all campgrounds, I figured I'd better get in gear and reserve what I could ASAP.
We will arrive early on the 8th, Friday, and depart Tuesday the 12th. And we are really looking forward to it.
Note that this is one of the SUN properties - normally their policy for Military/Veterans is if you stay for 2 nights you get the 3rd one free. However, their Rally rate, which we qualify for, comes out better and, naturally, it's either one or the other- not both.
We stayed at one of their other properties last year- Rock Crusher RV Resort- in Crystal River, Florida and it was impressive. I appreciate any business that shows that it respects our Military in any way.
We'll see you all there- and I'll bring some extra Sam Adams. Ed and Heather.
