    Thoughts on a Year Round Camping Format for Florida Members

    Mickey - My 2 cents. While the Rally format is fun it requires a HUGE committment from you and a unique campground that can not only appeal to a large group but accomodate the group by "holding" spots while everyone waits to see who's going. It also assumes there's a single location & date...
