The infamous A1 Jon Wehenberg, and lowly King of Bling, Micki and Di have conspired to pounce on Mobile Al for Oysters, Oysters, and Oysters. This is scheduled to take place in Mobile arriving 10/23 and departing 10/27. The staging area and recovery are are at the same place

you will need to call and make your own reservations.
Yall come & if you dont eat oysters, bring a can of pork n beans.:cool:
See ya there. I dont think they serve lamb.
That's just a couple hours west of us. If we're not on the road somewhere, we'll definitely at least stop by so we can finally meet a POGger. I'm not sure where you're planning to park and when I clicked on the link, it said the page was not available or something like that. We have family in Mobile and go over often so we might stay over there for a few days. Please keep us posted.
Bonnie
Bonnie,
There was an extra "a" at the end of the previous link. Try this.

Thanks. I had already googled and found it. Know exactly where it is. The Dog River Marina has been in Donald's family forever. Hope to see some folks there soon.
Bonnie
I'm in, but don't eat those slimy little buggers!:rolleyes: A-1 says you get wood from those things, what's that all about!:D
90 minutes East of us , so see you there. Dan & Jo
In one and one half days before the Kerrville rally Micki, Roger and I ate 320 of those oysters. Di watched.
But if you don't like oysters the seafood at Wintzels is outstanding.
Tom is trying to remember what wood is like. Clue Tom: it comes from trees and starts with acorns, not sheep.
Doesn't that many oysters give you that 4 hour problem that they warn you about with Viagara.:eek:
Bonnie: Now if you stop by you will get to meet at least 3 or 4 POGgers. That is got to be worth the trip. We are most likely to pickup 2, 3 or even 4 more before the time arrives.
When somebody says buy fuel, drive the bus, and eat- it don't get much better in the POG group than that.:cool:
I told Donald about it and we're in. I'll call the RV place tomorrow and make our reservations. Looking forward to meeting some of you--with or without sheep.
Bonnie
Man I love OYSTERS. What's the closest Airport. Can you pick us up or do we have to walk. I spent all of my FHA loan for fuel to get to Spearfish.
They have an airport in Mobile. Roger has the room for you on the sofa in that big bus of his with the slide outs.
Finally remembered to call today to make reservations. Is there anything else we need to know? Looking forward to getting together soon.
Bonnie
P.S. Should we bring the margarita machine?
Just show up with your appetite. Roger is our activities director and he has assigned cleaning duties for his coach just like he did in Spearfish.
He works up an appetite supervising the crew.
Jon:
I believe you are learning faster now than you used to. I may let you help in the supervision of the cleaning process. I need more free time.
Come on down Harry. Truck is going to be staying in a tent with his sheep, maybe he has room for you too.
I just made our reservations. We're looking forward to it. Deb, Eric, Jay Faires
Looks like this is shaping up to be quite an event.
We'll see you there too!! :D
Eric: Glad to hear you and family are going to make it.
I called 1 800 Bailout today and some guy said "Your out".
I hope I don't have to sleep with the sheep.
Paulette and I are trying to get reservations.
Sure wish we could all attend with you!!! We spent the night there with Roger, Micki, Jon and Di on our way to Kerrville last year and even if you don't eat oysters the restaurant has other great food!
Have fun for us please!! Who knows, maybe the mini rally in Florida will be one we can attend. Just depends on how Bob progresses......
Debi
Bob05/Deb: Hope that Bob and You are well and are getting along as good as can be expected. We are going to miss seeing you and your gorgeous ride at the Big Oyster feed. We will certainly down a few in your honor.
Do you think Ms Pinkie? is still there? I can't remember her name for sure.
It appears to be shaping up nicely with Bonhall41 & margarita machine,, Eric, Deb & Jay, Janice & Phil, Truk4u & Nancy, Rfoster & Micki, & Jon & Di W. Possible Dale and Paulette, any more?
I am sure Mobile has more Oysters than this bunch can eat.. How about it Dan and Jo?
Deb,
Hows big Bob doing and do you have him reading the POG Forum for fun and entertainment yet?:D
Debi,
Sorry you won't be able to join the group in Mobile. Donald and I will look forward to meeting you at some future POG rally. We'll make sure to toast all the missing members with a margarita and a dozen or two! :D
Bonnie
We got reservations today, so we should be there also.
I can't get in, they're booked and no space!:mad:
Hey Tom,Quote:

He loves reading POG entertainment so liven it up guys! I can't believe they don't have space for you, we need to get on to miss Pinkie (Roger, not sure if that was her name or not--ha~!)
Debi
We're sorry too Bonnie but there will be another meet once we are able to be on the road again. Yes, toasting absentee POG members is a requirement.Quote:

Debi
Tom,
Do they have a waiting list or anything? I'll check to see if anyone we know knows anyone they know. Donald's family is from that area but I guess if there's no room, there's no room. It's worth a phone call anyway. I'll let you know if we have any luck but don't hold your breath. I just can't imagine that they would be full that time of year. I didn't think Mobile got that many "snowbirds" and that's too early for them anyway. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
Bonnie
Dan & Jo are in. We made resv. this morning without any problem
Tom was told to get crackin' and he fell on his head. Call them back Tom and tell them you will camp until a space opens up. I think some of the spaces are so wide you can fit between a couple of us. We can even cheat and run a power cord to your tent.
Or you and Nancy can sleep on Roger's sofa.
Bonnie - Thanks, I asked about a wait list, but they said to call back in a few weeks to see if anyone cancelled. I know the Poggers won't cancel, so don't know what all they have going. She did take my phone number.
A-1 - Rogers sofa gets wet when it rains, remember, he has slides.:p
I'm kept out of the loop on a lot of things and I hope Bobo comes out of his operation with flying colors. I don't really know what operation he had, but, you don't need to graft bones when inserting one in the penis. I don't speak from experience but was just wondering if he had one inserted with a hinge on it.
Now, damn, bob, if you don't get a chuckle out of that start over.
Roger. Did Janice get rid of Paul on her travels this summer? You refer to them as Janice and Phil. Amazing on how we learn things. You have referred to them twice or 3 times like that. Are you getting as old a Harry.
Harry...By the way, if something is due to be done ( not do) go ahead and do it. A "DO" is something you gride gets done to her hair. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you ole grouch.
Tom,
I called yesterday, and they said there was no space. She told me to call back today, and they would try to locate one. When I called back, she said they had a space. Hopefully, something will come open for you too.
Tom,
I called my brother-in-law who is in a number of organizations in Mobile to try to find someone who knows the owners. He said he would do some checking around and see what he could find out. I can't believe that all 92 spaces are booked for that time of year. Again, keep your fingers crossed and I'll let you know as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, I would try calling them again. :p
Bonnie
Lew: Thanks for pointing that out. Let me say that I am sorry to Paul about the mistaken Identity. I knew that his name was Paul, my fingers just didn't follow instructions.
As far as getting old as Harry-- I hope so. And maybe get as old as you, you ole fart.
Glad to see you are paying attention and not just taxes.
OK Ovis aries, you sold your bus but can't get a parking spot in Mobile? Could you inform members of what's going on or do we have to call around to sponsors and see if you've been lurking around in Florida again.:eek:
For the less erudite on this forum here's a little help:

The short version is Skiffer called Tom "sheep boy" or something like that.

Do you think the campground has an idea about what to expect and so has closed reservations for POGgers? Who could have told them about the sheep invasion? Have y'all been there before? Perhaps there is some kind of campground underground and they have been warned by previous rally hosts.
Just got a call from my brother-in-law in Mobile. They rode down to check out the site. He said it is almost full with full-timers (camping trailers) and there probably aren't 20 sites open. We're going to check with Donald's cousin who owns the Dog River Marina and another cousin who owns the boatyard on the river to see if they have any suggestions. One of them might even have camping sites but don't know if you could get a big rig in there.
Stay tuned for further info. :D
Bonnie
I called back today and asked why Roadrunner got such preferential treatment and they said Roadbird had priority. Claims he told them he was experienced in campground management after a short employ with Yellowstone and he knew the Mayor. :p
I said I'm a personal friend of A-1 and the guy says, "your in."
No Moderation Boy - Don't you have fire wood to stack?
