Open Discussion on a Canadian Mini-Rally

About a week ago in an unrelated thread this subject came up.
I am just opening a dedicated thread to forward opinions & discussion on this possibility.
Here is the original mention: http://www.5thwheelforums.com/forums...pic.php?t=1864

So:
1- Who might be interested in making this happen?
2- When would the Mini-Rally possibly take place?
3- Any other interesting CG's we could use?

I think there is still enough time to get this shin-dig on the calender this summer......
What do others think?

Rick

We'd like to help, but......

Rick
Great Idea!
Maureen and I will be picking up our '07 MS 36TK3 on June 18.
The truck - '08 F450 dually arrived on Friday. That's the great.
Here comes the but...
House on market as of Thursday.
Have committed to be in Alberta as soon as we get moving (late July or August). Maureen has a few contracts to iron out.
We would be more than happy to assist in any way we can (on-line) this year.
Certainly would BE THERE in '08.
Mike

Well Mike, you & I both missed Branson,....and seeing as how we are here in Canada.....It only seems fitting that we get this thing on the front burner.
This is the spot I think would work out well, and we won't need much advance notice to get plenty of sites.

Come-on fellaz....

Hey Rick,

We are in if we can manage the date! What dates do you have in mind??

Have often thought of going there. Once a date is set I'll post it on the SOITC forum too. There may be some folks lurking there that may like to join in. Also it goes on the schedule for more to see.

Cheers,
Bill

Bill, Mike...ahh...there is no date yet.
I think I would like to leave it loose for a few days at least to get more info on what dates would suite the most attendees.

As Mike posted, we might not see him if it goes much past July.

I'm thinking if we get ten to twelve couples in on this it would be a success.

What do you think?

Rick

I'll throw a date out there for a start, how about June 29 - Jul 2 weekend??

10-12 units would be a great turnout, I know there are quite a few around just need to get the word out.

Cheers,
Bill

Count us in as well. I'm going through "Suite withdrawal", after all, it's been a week since we returned from Branson. D/W is starting to make noises about getting her annual truck-load of mulch for me to spread. Get me out of here!

Well, we're definately gonna have a mini-rally then!
So far it seems we have four committed:
Mike, Bill, Bruce, and myself.

Now, so far , we are looking at the July 1st. week-end.
That could be lots-of-fun.

It seems there have been quite a few folks reading this thread, but not many replies.....
So.....come-on!
Lets try and get this thing going.

OB & Sue are you out there?

Rick

Hope ya'll have a great time. It seems that we are always on the wrong side of the U.S., in this case Canada. We will be in B.C. and Alberta in July otherwise would consider attending.

Even though we are not "official members" we do enjoy meeting other MS owners.

Again, have a great time and not to worry, sometimes small groups are better - you get to know everyone!

After some thought, the Jul long weekend (Jun 29-Jul2) may pose traffic and reservation problems and now I realize our schedule was already booked for that weekend. Maybe another date that doesn't fall on a holiday weekend may work out better?

Suggest Jul 27-30 weekend??

This get together is open to all! No club membership is required. Just a casual campout to meet and have fun!

Cheers,
Bill

Bill, no problem for me.
That's kinda why I wanted to leave the date open for a while.
As far as reservations go, at Rideau Acres it won't be a problem, they have the room for a Rally as big as Branson MS rally was!!

We just need to get a core group to decide on a feasable date, then others who can make it will.

I'm OK with just about any date.

So, It's back up for discussion......the date that is.

Rick

Clairification

Rick

Sorry for the confusion, but as I wrote before Maureen and I don't think we can make it this year, certainly not in June or July. Re previous post "We would be more than happy to assist in any way we can (on-line) this year.
Certainly would BE THERE in '08.
"

There's just not enough time to sell the house, outfit the trailer, head east, and then west. If we can assist you in any way "on-line", we certainly will.

Mike

Sandra and I, being retired, are flexible so we are still up for a get-togethor whenever. I need a break from the "sticks & bricks" routine.

Ahhh Mike, don't sweat it.....
I know what it's like to have a full plate, and it definately sounds like you do!

Now, can we please hear from some other interested MS owners on this one?
I know we're talking Canada here but Ehhhhh.....we're gonna have a good time , beleive me.
So, come-on your guys south of the 49th, even 500 miles from the border is only a days drive.

OK...I'm done beating the bushes

Rally

Rick

Joyce and I would love to come but we have to be in Idaho Falls Id during that time frame. Like Mike maybe next year. I am also somwhat like Bruce and Sandra in the being retired part but just can't make it at that particular time.

As always good camping

Joyce and Jerry

..I know why none of you "south-of-the-border guys aren't interested in coming to our Canadian Rally.....well, the rumour just isn't true!
..contrary to what you'all may think, there is no more snow up here!!
It's all gone...so, theres no need to worry.

I mean, it's really lovely up here in June & July.
So now that I've cleared that up.....I expect to see names here..

Don't forget, all you fellaz that have been wondering about towing with a "Big Dog" can actually see one up close & personal.
I'll even spill the beens on how easy it is to convert a class 8 truck into an RV hauler.
So, lets get this rally on a rail!

Rick

Hello Rick

We are planing a trip to the Gaspe Penisula the last week of June.

The 23rd-24th weekend of June would be good for us for the C/R

The Rideau Acres Campground is an excellent place to go. The last time we were there they served a great steak dinner and pancake breakfast.

Lots of room at their newer sites.

Cheers............Geoff

Bill

Bill, I'm OK with that, hopefully we can get at least 5 rigs.
I would have to modify our plans to make that weekend work....I'll do it if we can get at least 3 more rigs.
How do you feel about that?

Rick
