Airstreams in The Wilds

[DanB]

Those that know me, know that I tend to come up with some unusual ideas! Sometimes I have good ideas, sometimes really bad ones! Occasionally, I hit a really good one.

Last year, I organized the Cedar Point Rally. Although we had fun, it wasn’t very well attended. I’ll probably try to put something together again this year. I’m wondering if we should try later in the year during Halloweekends?

I enjoy adventurous things and activities. I read articles and blogs about Airstreamers visiting Alaska, out west, and overseas. I can only imagine what an African caravan might have been like. Last year I was about 20 years away from being able to do those things. Today I’m probably 30 years away.

So in the mean time, I can only pursue these activities in miniature. So how do I go to camping in Africa for the weekend? I guess by driving a couple of hours east to Cumberland, Ohio!

OK, so let me get to the point.

Would anybody be interested in a rally to The Wilds in Ohio? www.thewilds.org

Per thier website:



The Wilds is one of the largest and most innovative wildlife conservation centers in the world. Located on nearly 10,000 acres in southeast Ohio, it is home to rare and endangered species from around the world living in natural, open-range habitat, as well as home to hundreds of indigenous species. In addition to innovative, in-depth science and education programs, the Wilds offers guided experiences to the public on selected days May through October

To stay in the spirit of an African caravan, I think it would be wonderful to boondock directly in the preserve. Obviously, this would be in an unoccupied area! In exchange for the camping privilege, we could volunteer for a service project during our stay. We could have a great time camping, and do some good at the same time.

If the boondocking doesn’t work out, Salt Fork State Park is just down the road.

Please feel free to throw out your thought!
