Looking forward to meeting you, Sue.

Our Casita was dewinterized and cleaned up this past weekend. We are SO ready to get rolling.

Will your Corgi be coming with you? We'll have our Smooth Fox Terrier with us.

We stated to clean our Casita but as far as dewinterizing I will wait another week or so as the weather may still go below freezing at night.
We still have snow piles on the side of the driveway that is 3 feet tall.
We have yet to even take the cover off the Boler which I will be taking to the Rally just as a display model set up with Solar Power in the campground somewhere.
I will be going down the Campground next week to check out the status of the sites and report it on here.

A little under 3 more weeks before the Rally and I was down the campground today.
With the hard winter and ice storms we've had here in New England they are about a week behind on the clean up and getting water system up and running.
Office informed me that we got 38 confirmed reservations and my goal for this year is 40. There are still sites available and the office will get you as close to the group as they can just mention your with the Spring Fling group.

Make reservation NOW, by calling:
Office: (603) 323-8536 Friendly staff will get you as close to the main group as he can.
or call KOA: (888) 237-8642
Be sure to mention the Spring Fling Rally to be added to the list counted so we'll reach the 40 sites sold.

Been very busy here and the snow is almost gone but my camper has developed a leak in the water tank and I am now waiting for a new tank so I can install it.
After the Rally, wife and I are trying to get all our ducks in a row for the start of our cross country trip on the 28th of May.

The campground is busy getting things ready for us and although they are 2 weeks behind, due to the weather, they will do the best they can.
I will be heading down there next weekend to lend a hand if needed.

Sites are still available:
Make reservation NOW, by calling:
Office: (603) 323-8536 Friendly staff will get you as close to the main group as he can.
or call KOA: (888) 237-8642

Hello Gerry,
This is my first rally and I would like to know what the agenda is. I assume, (you know what happens when you assume), that there will be a pot luck? If there is, I would like to prepare a meal to share before I leave for the camp.

We have made reservations and will be showing up with our new 13' Scamp that we picked up in April. Looking forward to it!

Kardon · 05-10-2019, 01:58 PM

Oh no. Car problems. Sorry Gerry, but we had to cancel our reservation for the Spring Fling. We were looking forward to the rally. We were suppose to be next to you at site 47, so if anyone is interested in that site, feel free to ask for it. Don.

I reserved today and will be arriving Fri and staying until Mon. Would be interested in Moose Safari if two more would make a difference.

Final count down to the Spring Fling Rally is here!
With the plans for the Rally, getting both the Boler and Casita ready for this event, along with the wife and I planning our first real big trip, cross country, on the 28th, and along with regular everyday things my brain is going off like a pop-corn machine.
One minute, thinking Rally, next minute thinking Trip, next minute making sure Tow vehicle is up to snuff, next, getting yard equipment up and running so person will be able to maintain yard, so on and so on.
Keeping an eye on weather maps for the past few weeks and it seems we are in a 3 day weather pattern with rain for 3 days and then 3 days (relativity) dry days.
If this pattern holds we should be mostly dry during the Rally.
Wish I could guarantee but...sorry.
Looking forward to all the returning Spring Flingers and meeting new people who decided to join in the fun.

Your Host
Gerry

Gerry · 05-11-2019, 06:01 PM

Was able to make the 1 hour trip down to the campground to check status and I will say that the 2 weeks that they have had to get things up and running was amazing.
There are still a few piles of leaves on sites that need picking up and I did notice that the Laundry was closed still and Pavilion was still in disarray but the owner said he will get things all set by Thursday.
Woo-Hoo, can't wait to see all you Spring Flingers from previous years and all the newbies who will be joining us for the first time.
Gerry

Bonnie RB · 05-12-2019, 03:36 PM
