[Miller0758]

If we make the move from NJ to the Greenville SC area next year, this rally will be on our list ... fingers crossed.

 

[Nabo]

John and Lisa - we would love to have ya'll even if you don't move to Greenville (I'm was born and raised in Spartanburg). Just come on down.

 

[Nabo]

Just heard back from the campground who has blocked us off rows I, J and K for the rally, that way we will all be together. YEAH The campground also said they will honor the rally rate before and after the rally dates for those that would like to come in early or leave a little later

As time goes on, we will let ya'll know activities as they develop.

 

[jbeletti]

We are going to try to make this one. Adding it to my calendar and will confirm later if we can make it.

 

[superduty08]

I just put it on the calendar. Rates sure have gone up there since our last stay. We like the location and surrounding area.

 

[ncc1701e]

Count us in. Will set dates and make reservations in the next couple days.

 

[superduty08]

Just made reservations for 10/15-10/19. Site k1

 

[MCTalley]

We will plan on being there whether or not that is still our home park (we stay there when I work downtown). By the way, Nathan or Byrd, the management is in flux there right now. Not sure who you talked to, but Fred and Jen recently left and there is temporary management in place from KOA right now. Wouldn't hurt to follow up as time progresses.

 

[Nabo]

Yes Malcolm, the management is changing but I have been working with the corporate regional manager with everything documented so we are good. The campground had some major upgrades and renovations which is to the good for those who were there in 2010 for the National rally. Hope you and Valerie can make it.

OK, cool.

We will plan on being there. Since we stay there on a regular basis in a longer-term site, we will be making reservations later on probably over in the longer-term area (Just a couple rows over, typically). Pencil us in as a "Yes", though we may or may not be in the I, J or K rows with the rest of the folks (we generally stay in G row).

 

[jbeletti]

...Not sure who you talked to, but Fred and Jen...

Bummer - they were real nice people.

 

[MCTalley]

Bummer - they were real nice people.

They were. Hopefully the new management can cut me a similar deal that Jen gave us for our frequent stays there.

 

[Seren]

Heading out west next year. Hopefully will not fall in love out there and decide to stay for the year. But if we come back east after summer then will definitely stop for rally.

[ncc1701e]

Reservations are in, arrive 14th leave 18th and sorry to say I am on site J7. There goes the neighborhood.

Two River for golf? Thursday or Friday ?

 

[Nabo]

Yea - The Combs are coming. Golf - hummmm - Do you want to head up the golf outing/s Tom? Nathan will be glad to hand the reins over to you if you would like to organize it.

 

[Nabo]

Seren - heading west is a blast which you will love. We have done it a couple of times over the years and plan on doing it again in 2017 after the National rally, ending up in Alaska. We would love to have ya'll but understand the fun seeing what's out there.

 

[ncc1701e]

I am not one to step on the big guys toes. Just though that out as a question. You know me, golf clubs always go, Millie and Lucifer might have to stay at home. LOL

 

[Nabo]

Now Now - Ms. Millie better come but for Lucifer-ummm but I guess he can come too. And yes - step- step - step all you want. The only Nathan can say is OUCH.

 

[ncc1701e]

Tell the big guy I will handle scheduling a round or two (Thursday/Friday mornings) of golf for those who want to play. Will use Two Rivers which is like only 2 miles of so from the KOA.
