It looks like we will have more this year that I can try to get to tire of me!
We have 16 total and there are more that have not used the forum rally listing yet! YIPPEEE!!!!!

And I have two groups of people that have called me this week that I have to get back to yet. I'll be calling them tonite. I expect we will hit 20 by the 4th.

Anyone is welcome. You do not even need an Airstream or Argosy. My buddy may be coming and he is in a pop-up! Oh no! There goes the neighborhood!
Are you in the group site?
John - What are the specifics? I would like to do a registration form that will give us all the information for the rally, (i.e. names, trailer year and model, city, state or province, wants to camp next to Lou).....

[AYRSTRM2]

Lou,

we just got back from camping up in the thumb and at Traverse City, and the I'm now on travel for work and my internet connectity is bad. I need to call Applecreek and make sre I understand how this is going to work but suffice to say for the moment that reservations are made by signing up on the link or emailing or phone Lou or myself.

I don't understand what's with Toastie's call to the campground. We know how many we have and they don't have a count from me yet. I'm certain there's a miscommunication. I'll call them either tomorrow or Friday to make sure we're square.

Toastie and all others, in the mean time, use the Rally link ere in the forum to say that you're going and that will hold a spot for you.

[BigAl]

I expect that Toastie made a reservation in the regular sites area of the park.
Al
ps: still looking forward to the form.

I did sign up thru the forum and called that number that was posted and nobody returned my call, I did make reservations with Apple Creek for the Irish Hills Rally for me and a friend, 2 spots.

Toastie (Steve), I did receive your call and I had just returned from vacation and then had to go on travel for work. I am back and have gotten all of the confusion cleared up. It seems that the campground thought I only wanted 20 of the 24 sites in the group area and some how were offering you two of those leftover four. They mentioned that they had talked to you and another person who has also called me this week (BTW, I have gotten three calls from people interested while I've been out of town, alot of catching up to do and the lawn was a foot high!) Anyway, long story short, I set them straight, we need all of the sites they have, you are on OUR list and DO have a spot, and now so does your Motor Home friend and I intend to have an attendee list up within about 24 hours from now, so we can get right where we're at. Thanks for letting us know about your conversation and sorry about not getting back to your!

If anyone would like to call me feel free to contact me at: 586-604-6689 or 586-997-0147. I am at either of these two numbers 24/7.

John - How clear are we on a list of attendees? Do we have names? I am going to post a form on here no later than July 1st. I will post it in MS-Word format so the attendees can fill it out online and email it to me.

Sorry that John and I have been a little busy. We both have regular 9-5 jobs. I have my own engineering consulting biz that I do after that. John works on super-duper top secret military stuff!

[AYRSTRM2]

Here's our list so far:

• 66Overlander(tenative)

Wow, can you believe that? And we don't have Terry, or Lou's brother or some others that have been hinted at that have not yet come forward. As of right now that leaves 6 spaces open in the group area. We can get nearby sites in the park proper if we need them, I have been told.

Lou, anyone? Are there obvious omissions on the list so far? Someone that has been mentioned that I have missed? Please let me know and I'll update the list.

[AYRSTRM2]

Well, looks like I had better aget organizing! Let's start solidifying the schedule of events, try to have it wrapped up by say, the 5th of July? So far we are talking a potluck (Saturday), mixer/icebreaker on Friday, a raffle and or grab bag.

I intend to make some inquiries about sponsorships, so maybe we can get some interesting door prizes and gifts.

[05ModPod]

Sign us up - we are head'in out. Don't know which trailer we will be bringing but must have at least one good ole camp out this summer.

If the Hubby can get the time off - will be convoying with Happier Campers.

Just bought our new Tow vehicle - the V6 did such a great job with the Globe Trotter so we thought the GMC Tracker V4 would do fine with the Overlander.

You know us those crazy Cannucks..... specially with the gas prices today you can not beat this combo....
