Well folks...the time is almost at hand for another rally in Virginia.....This is the last rally we will be having at Americamps ..... so be thinking of 2019 and ideas of where we might want to go back to or some area new you think the group would enjoy....also if you post what you plan to bring to the meals I will re-post on page one....we are looking forward to seeing the new trucks and campers....hopefully no hurricanes while we are there....

Meeting up at the Hershey RV show. What Rv will we show up with at the Mason Dixon Rally?



You'll have to wait to find out.

It was great to see Susan & Mark at the Hershey show yesterday...I attended the show mainly to carry a poster announcing the sale of my Pull-Rite hitch which is not shown in the picture, but if you look closely at my neck you can see a little white string which is attached to the poster that is hanging over my back...So Rosie and I will be showing up with the same camper we have owned since 2012...

I also have some news about MILL BRIDGE CAMPGROUND, which was Rick Koelech's favorite place to camp...Even if they keep the name the look of the campground will never be the same, because a construction firm is deconstructing the bridge to move it to a new location...It will be moved to the area where the STAR BARN is located...Without knowing I think it might be the same organization that saved the STAR BARN from demolition because the barn and the bridge are both historical structures...As I drove by the bridge yesterday I could see some of the main wood beams were extremely decayed, so I think it is good that this bridge is being moved and restored as so many others have been lost to time...

As I drove by and saw what was happening to the bridge I immediately thought of Rick...Isn't it funny how places and things can bring to mind people that we know or have known in the past...

Stan
The food Rosie & I will bring to the rally goes as follows:::
Breakfast:::scrapple and bacon. will also have eggs if needed
Wine & Cheese:::spinach dip
Dinner:::crock pot of meatballs & sausage with rolls

WOW was just looking back to past years and have come to realize facebook has really affected this forum...This post will be number 11...Last year this time there were 38 replies & 4,047 views...In 2016 there were 123 replies & 11,518 views, with about the same number for the year 2015...Just sayin...

Will be good to see everyone next week...

[CruiserJoe]

[sleepyT]

Looking at the weather and so far it looks promising...Here's hoping we get some good weather, would like to have at least one campfire and hopefully more at this rally...

[sola123]

Everyone - I was told by a friend who frequently camps here the campground is under new management and they were installing a security gate now....but he felt the new managers are really trying to improve the campground....were very welcoming....so we hope the rally goes off without too many changes affecting rally groups and use of facilities, etc...

[roamer]

Mark and I will be traveling with Walt and Lindy....arriving on the 4th and leaving on the 8th. We reserved Site E-9 before leaving last year. It is hard to believe a whole year has almost passed once again. Looking forward to seeing everyone very soon!

[roamer]
