As those who have been involved in organizing a rally or campout for a large group can attest to it is a very difficult and time consuming task.
Rick & Jeana are doing a fine job. As in any camping group we are a diverse group and trying to address that diversity when planning a rally is near impossible.Many folks are still among the working. When we were still working we had to have prime vacation time in by Feb of the new year. Advance notice of rally dates are a make or break to many. The dates for this rally were set long ago and folks had plenty of t ime to circle those dates..that is a good thing. Starting with Memorial day through Aug are prime travel and vacation times and even those of us who are not shackled by work schedules need to plan in advance. Our summer trip is the N.E States and to find good campgrounds that meet our needs we need to reserve now for the month of June. We know we are leaving Ohio May 22 and we would like to spend some time in the Gettysburg area so it is either go around the MOC rally and on to N.E and make those reservation accordingly or firm up the rally campground, which we have so today we will begin to reserve C.G's in the N.E states. Not to mention to get a handle on the cost of the trips so we can plan finances. One of the tings you learn as long timers is "pay as you go..or don't go."Our summer trip will be paid for before we leave. We only have so many $ to spend. We will be at that C.G rally or not as part of out summer adventure.
A call to the campground will reveal that most if not all of the rally arrangements are in place and we are sure will be posted soon. Sometimes the small details are the most time consuming. The organizers , we are sure, have other things to do besides this rally and it is always a learning process. We had to reserve early because the rally is but one stop on our summer adventure and pre planning is necessary..
