Camping Kickoff 5/16 - 5/18

[Tom]

Don't know if there is any interest to do this again this year. I go every year so I'm in.

The 33rd annual Kickoff Rally is set to commence on May 16-18 (Friday to Sunday) at the Joseph J. Masem Campground @ Cathedral Pines County Park.

I'm a "maybe" - a hard maybe.

Last year was really kinda boring - but I also realize it was likely toned down due to the weather we had.

I don't have any thing set for May, though I was considering doing a trip down to Barnegat Bay for the SJVC's camping event.

In any case, maybe for me. If we get a group who wants to go I would probably be more inclined.

[Tom]

Carol told Ronnie she is in. The weather last year was not helpful, having said that it didn't really stop what normally happens but did put a damper (no pun intended) on the event.

I agree with Mike onn the suffolk campout. Less than prime.real estate . Im.nkt saying i wont do it. I like Indian island better even if it was just everyone booking on their own. I would entertain the nj trip as an option too.

[Tom]

I'm not agains't an Indian Island VW campout, we could do it like we did the last time. We could do it in June so it doesn't clash with this event.

[BusBq Bill]

That sounds like a good idea. Even if it was over the summer

[Raj]

Id be down for Indian Island, if the dates align.

[Tom]

I suggest we throw some dates out there and see what works, so I'm sure we all have conflicts lets see if we can come to a consensus .

I like 6/20 weekend or 6/27

Just checked and plenty of sites together on the river for both weekends.

[ObnoxiousBlue]

The weekend of the 27 would probably be better for me personally.
I plan to go to Terryville and taking off two weekends in a row would be tough.
I don't really have anything in May - so in honesty the Kickoff would probably be better for my schedule. But if we do it 1) we have to register soon, and 2) we would have to do some planning so that - at least amongst ourselves - we're not bored. Last year was kinda dull. lol

[BusBq Bill]

Either weekend should be ok for me.

[ObnoxiousBlue]

Ok, Dennis just "guilted" me!

I'll be there.

Doing the form today.

[Tom]

Signing up today, how about a roll call to see who's in ? We're taking the bus.

[ObnoxiousBlue]

I'm in - have the application and the form all ready to go, but have to go to the bank to get a check... How the hell is it that they only have checks as a payment method? What is this, 1970?

I know Bill sent his in already, Carol did too.

I believe Denis did, and I invited Andy, not sure if he did yet since he just got back to the US yesterday from Germany.

[Tom]

What about Rob and Gemma ?

[Tom]

Brad and Andrea ?

[BusBq Bill]

Yes I booked it!

[Tom]

My friend Steve and his dog Titan will be joining the festivities , he's a trailer guy but we won't hold it agains't him .

[ObnoxiousBlue]

Sounds good. Hoping the weather is more cooperative this year!
As we get closer we can coordinate if we want to do our own potlock or something.
