EAST COAST POG EVENT

[Jon Wehrenberg]

I'm surprised our SC POG members aren't supporting their own state. Myrtle Beach in April. Plenty to do, nice big campgrounds, no lack of places to eat or play, the ocean, and they may even have oysters and a place to get lobstah.

OK I'll jump in here, Rita and I are hosting a Royal Coach Club rally in Myrtle Beach SC from April 30 thru May 5 at Ocean Lakes Campground. Do not have all the final details yet ( actual cost ) but was going to do this more like a POG rally than what has been the normal Royal rally as in always doing something or going on side trips. Way more laid back with good food and some activitys. Going to have lots of space, and for those who may not know of the Royals there a great groupe of people with a good bit of cross over within the POG gang. Or something could possibly be set up independent of that rally in the same area. Think about it but remember Easter is hard to work around in April at the beach they don't need anymore people they have all they can handle. Bill

Jon When I leave home I don't fuel up until Winchester Va. 800 miles from Bangor Me. There is a flying J at the first exit in Va on 81, the fuel prices are usually 25 cents lower than any where along that 800 mile route. If you top off in Winchester you can go to Maine and back to Winchester. Just saying. Rick

Since I started this let me throw out the 1st suggestion. When we set up the "Adirondack Adventure" last October all we did was set up a schedule, picked the campgrounds and let nature take its course. Everyone made their own reservations although we did set up a few events like the NYC theatre excursion. We had a blast. My suggestion is to pull something off either early spring or early fall. I think the early fall is best as the weather has a tendency to be cool and not as much rain. Since we seem to be spread along the east coast why don't we organize an "Atlantic Ocean Crawl". We can set up some desinations from perhaps starting in Myrtle Beach and ending in Maine. So far there has been a suggestion for Maine, and Myrtle Beach. I'll throw in "the Jersey shore" Wendy and I will host anyone who wants to make Long Beach Island in NJ a destination. There are no campgrounds on the island however the campgrounds on the "mainland" are not resorts but should be able to accomodate us. The location is about 1 hr north of Atlantic City for those of us who are inclined to gamble and 2 hrs from NYC. For those of you who are not familiar with Long Beach Island its an 18 mile barrier island, we'll set up some activities as well as host any POG get together at our home at the beach. For the faint of heart I will host a seminar to calm your fears about driving in NJ, it will be called.... "You lookin' at me? Yeah, I'm from outta state..you got a problem with that?" I suggest we set up the dates and pick the venues and weigh the interest. Its not brain surgery, we just need a few people to do some organizing at each venue and you can choose to participate or not.

If the Las Vegas rally is in the early fall this rally will compete. If it is in the spring folks can go to both if so inclined.

Sign me up for Bill's rally.

Is there any interest in returning to Bella Terra (Gulf Shores/Foley, AL) for another Oystefest rally in the spring? The folks at Bella Terra LOVED having 30 POG Prevosts for Oysterfest 2011 and will bend over backwards to have us return! Just sayin....

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Are oysters back down to $4.00 or are the folks selling them still trying to get $9.00 doz?

They taste great at less than $5.00 per doz., not so great when they are more expensive.

Jon, I bet Michael and his friends at Belle Terre could hook you up with some Locals who would take you out Oysterin' for the thrill $$$ of a lifetime.
