DOGWOODS & BLUEGRASS – Kentucky Rally!

[airstream66]

Hello all,

Love the idea, location, and time of year. Will have to talk to the Mrs. about this one. It would be our first rally. Keep us posted on your progress and any other ideas you might have, DB.

Digger,
That's great, couldn't be better!!! Got a message this afternoon from Natural Bridge, they will be happy to work with us. I think it is time to make an absolute decision about location, Natural Bridge or Dale Hollow so people can start making reservations. Let's hear some opinions, it's nice to have such good options.

Where – For me, to be honest, I can go anywhere. Location is not a deal breaker.

That said I have two reasons for pushing Natural Bridge.

First is personal - stories my mother told me about it during my childhood and have never taken time to go there.

Second I am a member of the International group and have done rallies with them—(I know a few will be reading this and please know I have the deepest respect for the Louisville based group), they do appear to focus (albeit not exclusively) on events very close to Louisville (Dale Hollow/Bradenburg/General Butler/all meeetings). It would be nice to explore the remainder of the state.

I know there seems to be a lot of folks interested in Dale Hollow. That is do-able and in the end may be the best decision since a lot of respondents are closer to it. We may, however, lose people from Ohio – that appears to be a very active group and have shown some interest.



So – FWIW – my vote is:

1. Natural Bridge
2. Dale Hollow
3. Anywhere in Kentucky as long as I am surrounded by friends!

So everybody- What’s your vote?

We have never been to Natural Bridge even though I have lived in KY all my life. I say NB, try something new!! My brother says in his opinion it is one of the most beautiful places in the state. So, 2 for NB. If all goes well maybe DH next year.

Have not been on the forum in a few days. Great to see what has transpired with this rally. NB would be fine with me as I have yet to camp there. I could help with some intertainment (Digital projector for watching movies outside).

Anne just checked and it's been 7 years since we visited Natural Bridge. I don't think we've ever visited Dale Hollow Lake.

Doesn't matter to us but Dale Hollow is at least 200 miles closer to us round-trip.

I might be able to attend this rally. Have to see how it fits in with trip to Nashville.
Natural Bridge looks like a very nice location.

It looks like there are about 24 spots fairly close together at Natural Bridge, but there are no sites with septic. Does anyone think this will be an issue?

Are there bathhouses, or do we need to pack two extra pots?

[63Silver]

There are bath houses and dump stations but no sites with direct septic hook ups. All the sites we are looking at have electric and water.

If I can put a vote in, I would love to go to Natural Bridge! Its a lot closer for me!

Not sure where hubby will be working next spring (his job takes him out of town - the reason for our airstream), but if he's within a reasonable distance we'll definitely be there!

You betcha!

Whatever everyone decides as location is fine with us.

Not having septic is not a problem for us. We are very used to camping then dumping on the way out!

Alumatube,
I really hope that does not mean while driving down the road.
