I'm gonna be there with my new Escape 19. I'll get it in the spring.

Unfortunately that is the same weekend of our 50th high school class reunion so we won't make it this year. Will look forward to 2016

Oh, we'll miss seeing you this year, Mike. Have a great time at the reunion.
I'll start getting things posted up on this thread shortly, but we'll be essentially keeping this gathering similar to the others. It will be nice to see everyone, watch the ships, and relax!

Dale and I can't wait for the Algonac Scramble !!!! Wish I could book my site right now! I've already booked our first camping trip for May at Buck Creek State Park in Ohio. The days are getting longer....I'm keeping the faith that spring will eventually get here.

[Pam Garlow]

Remember, the sites can be booked 6 months in advance. So reserve early if you want any of the riverfront sites.

We'll have a similar schedule to last year. This same Agenda is on post #62.

AGENDA:

- Friday night 6:30 pm - Meet &Greet at my site (56). Stop in to sayhello, and have a hot dog on me! (hot dogs and chips).

The Strum Bums will be playing their Ukes (site 58 across thestreet) as part of the Meet & Greet.
- Saturday morning we'll leave open this year. People can go to breakfastor eat at their camper. It giveseveryone time to walk around and visit and have a lazy morning. Enjoy the Saturday! Check out the surroundingtowns, or just hang out at camp.
- Saturday afternoon we can have a few hours of camper tours between 2-4.No one is obligated to open their doors, but it’s usually fun to let the other ‘non-FG’campers get a glimpse into our little FG world.
- Saturday night pot luck dinner at 6:30 on site 58. Because I’ve got the ‘end’ site, we’ll have room to spread out beside my camperwith a great view out to the river! Bringa passing dish to share. Everyoneprovides their own plates, eating utensils and drinks.

- After dinner, we’ll draw site numbers for prizes. Please bring a prizefor the giveaway. ($10-$15 price range)
- Saturday night fire at site 56 (unless someone else wants to volunteer tobe the Fire Host). We can wind down (andburp) after a big meal. Time for friendsto gather and share stories. Bring over your Pie Irons and ‘stuffings’ forthem and we’ll make hobo pies!
- Sunday morning, sit back and have a lazy morning before packing up. Stopby and say goodbye, and have a very safe trip home.

When I click on the link, facebook requires to login. I don't have FB account and I'm not going to open one. Is there other way to see the information provided on that page?

[Pam Garlow]

Sergey, Unfortunately, no. You have to have a FB membership to access the FB site. But don't worry, I'll be posting the same information here as far as the rally info.


I love my FB account. Its given me a huge group of camping friends, and a lot of laughs. I've gone to several FB group rallies also. But if you don't want to join FB, you can just come here to see what is happening for the Algonac rally.

[Pam Garlow]

Here is a map of the park. The river runs along the right (east) side. I'll be going for site 56 this year, and we can picnic in the open area beyond my site.

I don't know the little light show from mother nature made for an "interesting" grand finale to last years show. Was a little hard on our canopy however.

[CindyL]

Yeah, ours went down too. Just goes to show that when you recommend something, like we always recommended our FirstUp in wind storms you always better add the qualifications.

Maybe we had our own personal tornado that hit our line of campers, Roger.

Took down my awning . Roger's fault since I was right beside him. On second thought, I guess it wasn't his fault but might as well blame him anyway.

Well Bob MY awning was fine the years I did not park so close to YOU. Let me see I'm to YOUR side, Cindy is behind YOU.... Me thinks I'm seeing a pattern.

Mother Nature was out to get you and we are just collateral damage. That was one heavy wind for awhile, you must have really done something to piss her off.

[rgrugg]

Maybe it was Cindy's fault then. Certainly wasn't mine. I'm never to blame for anything.

[Sally&Marty]

Hi, All, Marty and I are planning to be there in our EggBert. We were looking at the dates and the weekend after Labor Day is September 11-13th. Pam, do we have the dates right? We plan to arrive on the 10th and leave on the 14th. Makes it a little more relaxing. We have plans to move to Ohio this year. We hope we will be all settled by then. We have a couple of trips planned, Florida this winter and Tybee Island, GA late spring. We hope to get in a few more jaunts.

[Pam Garlow]

Yes, the dates are Friday/Saturday/Sunday, September 11,12,13. I plan to come in on the 10th also. I'm still planning my time off.... might be nice to come to the park even sooner in the week.


Does a Hot Dog station sound like fun at the Saturday night pot luck?
I'll bring the dogs and buns, you all can bring the toppings!!

We'll have a similar schedule to last year, with some details still to be filled in:
- Friday night will be meet and greet. Is there a Volunteer host for Friday night?
- Saturday morning we'll leave open this year. People can go to breakfast or eat at their camper. Gives everyone time to walk around and visit. Keep those coffee pots hot! You never know when an empty cupper will walk by
- Saturday afternoon we can have a few hours of camper tours.
- Saturday night pot luck dinner. It can be at my site... or wherever we decide.
I'm thinking that it could be fun if this year's potluck can include a hot dog station. I'll bring the hotdogs, and you all bring the toppings. What will it be? grandma's special corn chutney? a dill pickle spear and melted cheddar? good old mustard and catsup? kraut and onions,,,, or something really exotic! Bring a passing dish and your own drinks and we'll be full and happy in no time.
- Saturday night fire. Time to wind down (and burp) after a big meal. Time for friends to gather and share stories. (Anyone want to host the fire this year?)
-I hear that there is a great lakes maritime museum in the area, might be a nice place to visit for those that get to Algonac early, or maybe for Saturday morning if its open.

-Ideas are welcome, and also volunteers!!

Dunno about a Marine Museum, but I found this one interesting from our first Scramble....http://www.willsautomuseum.org/
