Been AWOL for awhile, so will try to catch up with the thread:
There are several factors at work in planning the best date for our rally. After several rallies, it seems that mid April and early October work best. The weather usually is more pleasant and the the snowbirds are few at those times.
We intentionally don't plan too many activities or entertainment, leaving maximum time for visiting. Can't promise a repeat of having a Thor rep appear. That was so well received last spring that it's a tough act to top. Please keep your expectations low!
By doing a potluck on Friday evening and bringing in food for Saturday evening, we keep the cost and the waste low. That also solves the transportation challenge. That's not a decision the group makes, but advance suggestions are respected. (Perhaps we'll have BBQ pork on Saturday evening!) Other meals are on your own, but spontaneous smaller groups have dined together. Dairy Queen and McDonalds are a short walk away.
The beach, restaurants and shopping are all a short drive from the fall rally campground, for those that want that. Suggest you plan to do those things on Friday or Monday if it suits you.
You don't need to know site numbers to reserve, since you are not to reserve without calling Kelsey as explained in post #1 in this thread. You'll be assigned a site # when you reserve. Reserving early will help assure that you are close. Later reservations may not be with the group, but somewhere else in the campground, if our block is full.
Hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida, and there is always a chance our plans could be washed out by nasty weather. Keep your fingers crossed. We had to reschedule the first fall rally due to a hurricane that turned out to be mild. Although the path of a hurricane can be unpredictable, there is plenty of early warning before they arrive.
Join us if you can!
