Chances are we may see you Tina at Ft. Wilderness, Mike. Our current reservation runs from 12/20 through New Year's Eve but I will be revising that for either the week before Christmas or the week after. Haven't decided yet.

BTW, mileage from Orlando to Santa Rosa Beach is about 400 miles, give or take. Turnpike to I-75. I-75 to I-10 and a few turns on blue hwy and you are there.

OK, where is this campground located, im sorry, I just have been to FL 2 times in my life, none within the past 10 years LOL

Rather than a cocktail party at one site and be crowed, lets have a Block Party and use the whole street or maybe use 102 & 104 which are not being used and are open and connected. -- The ALABAMA GANG had a wonderful time and are looking forward to 09 and a SPECIAL THANKS to Steve (devoman) for all your time and hard work : BILL & SANDY

Sorry to see those dates. Not trying to be a downer but we won't be able to make it next year. It's 550 miles for us, we would have to leave 4:15 Friday after kids get out of school drive 10 hours and get in at 2:15 am on Sat. We would be tired Sat. and then have to get up early Sunday and drive back. I wish it was a different date but I realize you can't please everyone, we'll definitely miss being there though.

I just talked it over with Donna and we will not be able to make those dates either. We travel as a family and the first weekend is one of the few times during the school year we can all be together for a trip due to school and Donna's job. We may try to get in there the 1st to the 4th.

It sounds like ya'll need a new thread for a new rally...

airedale · 01-10-2008, 06:34 PM

I second that....!!!

mrmossyone · 01-10-2008, 07:24 PM

I don't think Jim or I were suggesting that the dates be changed, just stating our disappointment that we can't join everone and if we can't then maybe we could still enjoy the beach and the park. I certainly wouldn't try to start another ralley the week before the canopener at the same park or anywhere close. Heck it's a year away in any event something could certainly happen to keep us from attending no matter the date. It's all good.

airedale · 01-10-2008, 07:28 PM

I know, but I want everyone to go LOL!

Devoman · 01-10-2008, 07:38 PM

Well...I thought I would let it run for a couple more days but I feel it is time to lock out this years Can Opener page.Thanks everyone for a great time and see you all next year for the
2009 Can Opener JAN 9th-11th
