2015 Goshen Rally - Discussion Thread

[jbeletti]

Well while you are working Jim we have had a mini pre pre rally of our own here at Tom Sawyer in W Memphis AR. It is us, the Mangums, the Barnett's and the Talley's in attendance along with an unknown N Trail, Torque and Classic Landmark. Other than the bad storm that just blew through I think we will be in great shape for the rally Tuesday as we still have all weekend to practice on the way to Goshen. Btw Jim how much could I make by auctioning off the special bottle I have with me? Lol

Saw your post on FB Andy. Way to save a neighbor's flag pole Been reading Kelly and Val's posts about Memphis on FB. We enjoy visiting there. Can't wait to visit the new Bass Pro Shop.

Speaking of you rmini-pre-pre-rally there at Tom Sawyer, Bob Curry and the Madisons are at Elkhart Campground, I'm here in Goshen with 5 other couples and there are at least 5 couples at Shipshewana South campground. Lot's of mini-pre-rallies going on

WRT the "special bottle" - no auctions! I already have to split it with Cookie I think

Re: Camp fire, Site questions

David - there usually are some picnic tables at some sites in the NW section. Never seen any, anywhere else.

There are no fire rings / pits. Only above-ground, self-contained fires have been allowed in the past and that's always weather dependent. Best to confirm with the venue.

Jim,
I'll bring my raised fire pit, if I can remember to load it . It won't take up tons of room but will be nice to have if we can use it. Maybe my site will have a table....Otherwise, We will make do without.

Thank you,

David

Re: Camp fire, Site questions

So I guess the exodus for Goshen from all corners of the USA has really started. We left home yesterday and overnighted at the Mt. Pleasant, TX KOA where we met a nice couple (Landmark owners and HOC members) from San Antonio who were also overnighting there enroute to Goshen by way of Memphis for a day or two. We are in a nice little family owned RV park currently being developed (Delta Ridge RV Park) in Forrest City, Arkansas and are going to try and hook up with Jay and Stella and Paul and Nancy in Missouri tomorrow for some throwed biscuits.

Yep as you know since you are two sites down. I guess we'll have about ten for Lamberts tonight once Jay and Stella get here.

 

[dlw930]

Better wear your helmet, those rolls hurt if your reaction time's too slow! First time I ever are at Lambert's they were in an old building south of downtown Sikeston (as opposed to uptown Sikeston) and ol Norm Lambert himself was throwing the rolls.

There's no Pig Pickin' - that was cancelled a couple months back. Not sure where you downloaded the agenda from but I checked the link from the rally portal and the agenda there is dated 30-May.

Download the latest here and please send me a link to where you found that old draft so I can fix that.

We are picking up our Cyclone from the Factory (repairs) on Friday, June 12th and decided to stay for the rally. I have tried to get on the site to register, but no luck. What should I do to ensure that we can either get a spot or can make other arrangements? Thank you and we cant wait meet all of our fellow owners.

HI Michael and Shari,

What kind of problem are you having getting on the registration site? Are you using this link?

 

[jmgratz]

For those of you that are already at the rally in Goshen (Elkhart County Fairgrounds) I was just wondering if anyone is already set up in the infield camping are? If so if it muddy. I want to know if I should bring my mud boots or not and if I will get stuck crossing the track. It is predicted to be raining when we arrive on Sunday. Just trying to think ahead. I have very vivid memories of the Escapade in Sedaila MO where almost everyone got stuck after a rain. BTW we are fairly familiar with the facility where the rally is being held as we have attended rallies there before.

 

[Nabo]

Jim - we have been in the infield for the last 2 national rally and if I was you, I would bring your boots. In 2011 we had some mud, not bad but enough for warrant boots. 2013, we really didn't have any rain during the rally so the boots just stayed in the closest.

 

[jmgratz]

Thanks. Looks like boots or flip flops

 

[Nabo]

That's our attire. I am also bringing tennis shoes since we are trying to get up a game of pickleball.

Does anybody know if there are handicap accessible showers at the Goshen fairgrounds?
