Fall Rally in Northern Illinois

Time to wind down the Camping Season with Fall colors along the Rock River.
This will be a new twist as we leave Pecatonica and search for a new, and hopefully improved, campground.

We’ll be gathering at the Lowden State Park in Oregon Illinois on October 10, 11 and 12th.
DNR


The Park is located south of Rockford off of River Road, Route 33, north of Oregon Illinois. Being a State park Reservations can be made through Reserve America.
http://www.reserveamerica.com


We have checked out the Park and sites 35-49 should work out for a group. Gravel and grass sites, 30 and 50 amp electric, shower house and water hydrants throughout the park with 2 dump stations. There are unreserved sites close by on a first come first served basis.

No theme yet for the Saturday Potluck. Being a “dry” State park I'm sure tapping a keg for Oktoberfest is out. Check back later for updates.

With luck we’ll get some great Fall weather For the Saturday feast

Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

See you soon,
Tom and Sue

Maybe, just maybe; Dana and I WILL be there. Looking forward to the change.
Since the statue of Chief Black Hawk stands in the park overlooking the Rock River we should have a "POW WOW" and get out the drums.

Tom; since you mentioned it, Oktoberfest could be in order. Brats, sauerkraut, German potato salad, barley pop, music and the list goes on. KISS, NO decorations or dress-up; Sue,Dana, just kidding.

Oktoberfest sounds great! Everyone needs to go on Reserve America to reserve a spot.
More to follow on our Octoberfest feast.

Don't, Sue, you will run everyone off. Now, if it was Heidi Klum, the park would be full.

Sounds like a good place to learn from the 'experts.' Still trying to decide on airstream or 5th wheel.

Thumbs up Oktoberfest is ON

Well. It looks like Oktoberfest is on for Saturday's Potluck.

Dana and Sue say they will be providing Bratwurst for the group. But Oktoberfest is much more than brats. They are looking for side dishes to compliment the meal. They will be posting a list of items later.
Meine Mutter has a wonderful hot German Potato Salad recipe so count me in for that.

A check of the campsites found 6 reserved as of tonight. I see Mike has a good list going.

Kenmar2 We can show you the virtues of Airstreams. Maybe you can show us how Oktoberfest is done. Freedom Wisconsin was the destination of my families German ancestors from the Westfallia region of Germany. My Father says the area has lots of German Heritage. Hope you can make it.
As always, you don't need an Airstream to attend a Forum Rally. Just a desire meet up and check out what's going on.

We're on a roll here. Reserve your sites and join us for another of our Fantastic Fall Food Fests.

Tom

Here is a guide to Oktoberfest foods, if anyone needs inspiration

Oktoberfest Recipes - Allrecipes.com

We will find or make pretzels, and also cucumber salad. Also, we'll bring a traditional beverage.
