I'm not in the planning for one of these but I can tell you a little about last years rally.

It was at Topsail campground in Destin, Florida. Their website is great and the campground was very nice, near the beach, concrete pads, full hookups, etc. We had a bunch show up as stated above - lots of food and fun. Weather in January is very nice. It's - I believe - in the first week of January, I have yet to see this years dates.

Post rally comments are in the original thread at te end. Check the link below.

Thanks Clancy Boy.

Yep, I'm in too. It is the first full weekend in January (thus the Can OPENER

). Devoman had the brilliant idea of a "little Florida get-together" in the winter and ended up organizing a smashing New Year's tradition this past January.

I think Devoman was holding off on starting a thread until the Georgia Falluminum was nearly underway.

Last year was very good. I'm up for it again. The first weekend in January, 2008 is 4-5-6 (Fri-Sat-Sun).

That's funny, all you have to do is wake up and take a short drive down the beach and you are there from what I remember.....

Hope to see you all there again in '08, it was a great way to start the year off.

I chatted with Steve (Devoman) a few weeks back. He was the organizer of this event in 2007 and said he intended to do it again in 2008. Here's his reply in a PM to me:

We missed it last year.

I can't wait to make it up this year! Be sure to let us newbies know what all we need to do.

klattu · 08-27-2007, 05:21 PM

We are there...2008

Some dirty un-American SOB already has our site from last year...#167
We grabbed one far away from that scum, down to 122, for some back row action.

Looking forward to the Untimate Pot-Luck!

clancy_boy · 08-27-2007, 05:36 PM

Keep'em comming people - looks like a great 1st annual event.

Jim Clark · 08-27-2007, 05:38 PM

Site 136 Arrive the 3rd leave on Sunday.

Roadtoaster · 08-27-2007, 06:03 PM

Since Klattu was kind enough to show the layout, I figured out where we are. We took 155, home of an SOB last year. Friends, AWPPC, are in 153. Arrive Thursday afternoon and leave Monday. I'm not missing breakfast this time.
