Canada Rally Aug 8th - 10th
Let's see how many people we can get to go camping with TAC in Canada! After all, if people go south in the winter to stay warm, why shouldn't we go north in the summer to stay cool?
The rally will be at Amazing Rocky Park in Durham, ON, Canada ( Amazing Rocky Park Campground) and will take place Sunday Aug 7 until you decide to leave. This will be a very loose rally. You make your own reservation through the campground. Tell them you are with the TAC group and we'll try to stay as close together as we can. By the way, TAC members are given a 50% discount (no typo, there) on the daily camping rate.
Depending on how many show up, we'll do dinners around a campfire or expand it to a pot luck. Happy hour will, I'm sure, occur spontaneously in the afternoon. If you can make it, post here or RSVP at the Rally Calendar link that will be up soon. Even if you decide to make it last minute, no problem. My family will be there even if we're the only Airstream in the park.
This will be a different than normal period of days for a rally since we'll be traveling the entire week and will actually just be a few days stop on a much longer trip to a total of three rallies during the days between Aug 5 and Aug 14 (caravan link will be posted soon). If you'd like to stay earlier or later at Amazing Rocky Park, please feel free to do so.

An update already...
The campground host has informed me that the electric supply to overnight campsites is only 15A. All of the 30A sites are taken by seasonal campers. However, the temperatures are expected to be in the mid-hi 70s during the day and mid 60's overnight. For my family, that's about perfect no-A/C sleeping weather. Did I mention there's a pool on-site and 2 nearby beaches? Beaches...in Canada? Yup.
And here's one I really didn't expect. The campground is going to print up shirts for the rally. One will be free to each site, additional will be available at-cost.

Just because this is a TAC rally doesn't mean you must be a TAC member to attend. TAC only means that if you come to the rally that you will experience a very relaxed, fun, family oriented gathering of Airstream enthusiasts that are camping together.
Come one come all that wants to experience the great north with other Airstreamers.

We were at the birthday bash this weekend and discovered that Shacksman has been rallying support for this. We got verbal confirmations from a few and some definite maybes from a few more. This is shaping up to be a fun rally!

Hi all:
A small update here. The dates for the TAC rally at Amazing Rocky Park Camp are moving by one day. The new rally dates will be Aug 8-10. This is to accommodate an additional stop on the caravan route.
Please note that if you are going to stay with us at Rocky Park, you need to make your own reservation with the campground. Amazing Rocky Park Campground

This caravan is getting better. If you want you can now come to Carlisle, On. and camp for Aug. 5,6,7 at the home of the Rumley Oil Pull collector and drive one around while we wait for Jason. On the 8th we will all leave for the TAC rally at the Amazing Rocky Park Campground in Durham, Ontario.
There are 4 trailers set to be there and leave with Jason for Durham. We have room for any number that want to drive a 1929 Rumley. No cost for the camping in Carlisle.
Let me know if you want to come.

I spoke to the shirt company and need to back up the deadline to order shirts to Monday July 25th 2011. That's only two weeks from today so if you are coming and want a Rally Tee shirt you have until then to confirm your reservation and let me know what size shirt you want.

Great to see another attendee for this during-the-week rally. Can't want to meet Canadian kin.
If you can, please join us Sunday the 7th down in Carlisle, ON for the "Rumley rally" and continue on to Doug's place after the rally in Durham.

Why not have one out in Western Canada as well. This one is a little to far east for me.

7?!?!?
Sounds like there should be some more people chiming in here on the thread!
Speaking of shirts...Andrea and the kids would like shirts. In addition to the size XL that I need, please add a men's M or women's L shirt and a youth small, and a toddler shirt (if possible). If toddler is a pain, then add a second youth small.

Well Michelle it's a little hard for me to tow my park all the way out west.
Feel free to start a rally of your own if you like.
This was a spur of the moment thing that Jason started, he is combining two rallies into a caravan and adding a third rally. It actually started as a family vacation and grew from there.
I for one can't wait to see all that shiney aluminium here. I'm so excited and honored to have be chosen as the host park.

That's the beauty of TAC. If you want to host a rally, you can! Have a good idea for a destination? Plan it and advertise it. Going on vacation and want other Airstreams to join you? Tell everyone about it.
I'd love to get out west in the USA and in Canada. It takes a native out there to put the plan in to place.

Jason I've added your request for the extra shirts to the list. I'll confirm with you about the toddler size, but I think it will be too small for you.

Jason, I've lined up a group to go with us, 3 from Ontario 1 from N.Y. and myself. Some new to TAC but all looking for a good time. I've been to Chris's park and it's going to be a great place for a rally.
