You could count us in on that if anyone else is interested and it should develop. We don't have anything going in the fall, and the weather should be nice and cool.

Texas Vintage Rally Braunig Lake, San Antonio, TX
GStephens, I am interested in the Feb Rally in Texas. I will talk over with my Hubby tonight so we can get signed up.
Thanks for the info.

Pee Wee will be attending this year and holding question and answer seminars on the early history of the Airstream Company, the Caravans he participated in to Mexico, Africa, Europe and other places, and about Wally Byam, his first cousin, along with just about anything else that one might want to know about. We had two vintage rigs last year from Oklahoma and perhaps others in newer trailers.

Lawton, OK wildlife refuge Rally
Rodney, Jim & Sandy that sounds good to me.
Rodney, can you check and see what our options are at the wildlife refuge?
I don't think there is going to be a Branson Rally this Oct as our great organizer (Steve) is going overseas for a year.

I will be more than happy to look into the options when I get back into Lawton in two weeks (where the heck did my summer go?).

Rodney,
We're still interested in a fall OK rally... lots closer than Branson and I've always enjoyed Oklahoma campgrounds! My vote is for a park with full hookups. Wha'cha got in mind...?

Geez Bill,
You act like you didn't have a BLAST in Branson.
I have good news that Fall Branson 2008 may be happening after all. I am considered in my dwell time from my last mobilization, and may not be required to deploy. I will be starting a new thread on Branson soon.

Oh oh... Hey Steve, how 'bout them Cowboys!?
Branso was a BLAST ! Took us two days to get there though... which cut into the 'ol work-vacation thing... Now, maybe northern Oklahoma would cut into some of that travel time and add to that QUALITY time with you cool Airstream folks!
We had been thinking of doing a fall Ft. Davis trip but fall in Oklahoma's pretty cool, too... (might have to do winter in Ft. Davis where we had "civilized" snow on Christmas day that was gone by 5PM...).

Deploy
Steve,
It would be great if you were here for the Fall Branson 2008. Sure hate to break a yearly event.
Bill, I would also like to figure out something for Oklahoma as long as Branson and Oklahoma aren't in the same weekend I am all for two Rallys.

I just missed finding out about this last year, and I'm definitely planning on attending in 2009. It'll most likely be my first rally of any kind, with my new to me Overlander. I'm really excited about it!
As for a Texas-Oklahoma rally, well, I'll be in Dallas on the second weekend of October, as usual. Does that count??

James is digging out his light rod as he usually fished for cat fish. We have never been to the Meramec Caverns so we are planning to check it out. We are going to get there on the 20th (Wed).
State Parks in Oklahoma
Great Plains State Park, Mountain Park, OK 56 RV hookups, (14 sites consist of 14 modern water, sewer and elect and 42 simi- modern sites with water and electric.
Robbers Cave State Park, Wilburton, OK
RV and Tent campsites, not sure if they have full hookups.
Roman Nose State Park, Watonga, OK
RV hookups, not sure particulars
Lake Texoma State Park, Kingston, OK
RV with 30&50 amp full hookups, & 54 sites with 30 amp service
That is all I have dug up so far.

On our way to the Branson rally last year (or was it the year before...?), we stopped off for the night in northeastern Oklahoma at the Natural Falls State Park in West Siloam Springs. Great park - well spaced, tree covered sites (not condo-city!), with fire rings at each site. We had a pull through site with water & electric (30/50amp). They do have full hook-up sites available and an easy in-out dump station. The park has a very large playground area with slides, swings, tubes, and all the other things kids climb around on as well as a very clean restroom/shower area.
As I recall though, going into town wasn't just a hop, skip & a jump...
The falls were really great and the hiking was fun - you can really work up a sweat. This is a nice place, very well kept, pretty and easy to manuever in. We will be coming back. Kudos Oklahoma (we've actually found most Oklahoma state parks well taken care of)!

Very cool, Steve - love to see you guys again! Natural Fall is right up around Tulsa area... maybe a bit further (south)east.

Welcome to the forums!
First post and you want to start a rally, I like your style.
A very wise member once told me:
To start a rally:
Pick a date and a location then let everyone know.
If you rally, they will come...
