Good job Jon, I don't think we are going to have the 50+ buses in either Branson or the Smokies, but I might be pleasantly surprised. We need a headcount ASAP for either place, as you indicated, the clock is ticking.
Lobster Boy (AKA Skiffer) how about sticking up a place for a headcount for either Branson and/or the Smokies? The left Coast guys may have the same problem..
I don't think we should have a democracy here.
I think that as long as we are going to continue to have rallies as a group we will eventually get our stuff together. But for the October rally I think someone just needs to pick the site and from that rally forward as long as we have good lead times and someone has vouched for the accptability we can visit places that are on the "go to" list.
If nothing else this proves to me that if we intend to vote on future sites we should be voting now for the April 08 site and at the October rally vote for the October 08 site.
Gary,
Sorry about me mixing my plavix with Gin.
The real thing that pissed me off was that I am possibly the most visible person in the park and all over the place. You knew I resided there and you left without saying hello.
I will remain out of the rally holding area choices forever. I probably have attended more FMCA rallys than any one here, not to mention nearly a hundred other pre-rallies and regular type rallies throughout my 30 years of motorhoming.
I still haven't learned to keep my damn mouth shut and keep my opinions to myself.
Sincerely, really,
Lew
Oh, BTW, I have absolutely no wish to hold a rally here at my home park in Florida. Let there be no mistake about that!
Lew, none of us including me want you to keep your mouth shut or your opinions to yourself. That is what makes Lew, Lew; and what these posts are for, and what make this site truly worth watching and responding too. I just wanted to make sure you understood we enjoyed your park tremendously, and that was before we had a chance to meet you.Quote:

If ever you are in my neck of the woods, Houston, TX. just come over, and we'll have dinner, and I promise we will look you up the next time in St. Lucie.
OK I am done now. Now back on to POG IV, The Beginning. Jim Skiff, have you decided anything yet about the Rally Site?
Gary S
I'm in for anything west of the Rockies. I doubt I can make it to Branson in October. The West Coast contingent can get busy for next year.
Many thanks to Gary Stevens for his hard work scouting locations for POG IV and beyond. We have booked the KOA in Branson, http://bransonkoa.com for the dates of October 1-6 as time and locations are running out. The sites are pull throughs on asphalt. We have 56 sites.
This will be our last mid-country rally before we start the east coast, west coast cycle.
More to follow as we progress.

Great Jim, count us in! As it happens, our Morgan World Championship Horse Show starts on the 6th and is held in OKC which is only 4 hours from Branson...Bob can just shuttle me over there, won't he be thrilled? LOL :rolleyes:
If the growth of POG dictates booking rally spots further in advance, the further in advance we plan these rallies the easier it will be for us to make some.
We would be up for the Smokies for next fall and have always wanted to see the fall colors in New England too. We have never been North of New York City.
Charleston also sounded very nice. A spring rally there would avoid the risk of hurricane.
Branson is only 8 hrs out for us, we can make that.
Jim,
I'm in, our last race in 07 is the weekend of September 15-16 at Laguna Seca, Northern California. I don't see any reason not to be there.
I can't wait, I might have to fly the better half in for the last few days with the kids.
