Sounds great, but we will be away that weekend, so we'll miss it in any case. I was hoping that a September rally, in that area would come up, since it would be a little warmer, but I understand for those working, Columbus Day weekend is good. We'll have to catch that area another time. Thanks for offering to do this one.

I agree with Mike, great job Boog stepping up and getting er done. We will not be able to make it to the fall rally as we have other plans that weekend. You all have a great time at the Glen. Doris you never know maybe we can whip up something for Sept.

Warm Regards,

Al

Dave, sounds like a good campground, that’s rally & big rig friendly. Unfortunately that weekend we’re limited to 3 days off at best, so distance wise this choice wouldn’t work for us.

We still don't know our schedule at this time, but we may be able to make it if we haven't left for Florida by then.

Good Job !!

That looks like a great campground and there is plenty to do around there but, we aren't able to make it. With Matt just starting high school in the fall, it probably wouldn't be a good idea for him to miss any classes so early in the year.

Looks like a nice campground, but a bit to far for a three day week end. Hope you get a good turn out.

Watkins Glen is nice. Would love to join you someday for a campout but Sept and Oct are generally out. We're tied up every weekend with the HS Marching Band in competition around this area of NYS. Grandkids in the band. Good luck and have fun.

Boog,

Just wondering, have you had and sign ups that are not posted here? There have been 8 posts regarding the fall rally in Western NY. It seems to me the big stink was all over nothing. Boog I hope the NY and NJ croud show you some support. Maybe they are just not on here. I wish you the best, your a nice guy and build a dam good fire builder and tender.

Since I Accepted the wagon master job for fall rally and was excited both myself and wife doing it at Watkins Glen.I'm really sorry to say at this point and few responses for this committment we made,decided to back off on rally.I'm truly sorry that such an uproar took place over such a simple endeavor,with adult people, that this couldn't come to reality. I'm positive we could have had a great FALL RALLY........Boog

Hey Boog... I really hope that you aren't taking anything personally. The NorEasters really are a great bunch of people. Speaking only for me and my family, it was just logistically unfeasible to travel to Watkins Glen for a 3 day weekend.
We really don't like to take the kids out of school at the beginning of the school year, especially this year with Matt just starting his high school career. From RI, it is 8 hours away.
I'm sure you would be a great Wagon Master and I hope to see you at a future rally.

I hope you understand.

We weren't able to make the Spring Rally but will try and make the Fall Rally if we are able to do so! Hopefully the place and date can be worked out! He's right, it is a good group of people!

Boog - Just wanted to reenforce Tim's post. I appreciate you stepping forward to be wagon master and I am sure you could run a great rally in Watkins Glen. However like many of the previous posts stated it is just a location that is to far for us to travel for a weekend.
