It will be great to meet some of you in person.  I will be in site F23. 

F23 is a good spot, pretty level with large tall pines all around. 

I forgot to mention that we will be in site G34. Can't wait to get back together with many good friends and pick up from there adding to the list.

That is good to know.   I just picked one that was available.  Love my trees.

I will have to walk around with a notebook to write people's names down.  Good with faces, bad with names.

FYI:  We're in campsite A-6 across from the dog park.... WOOF!

Once I get back from Florida in early February, I will make a post to compile sites, names, forum user names, hull number, etc. like I did last year. As a new attendee, I did it for myself to put faces to names. But when arriving, I found that many folks had printed out my list to use for themselves. During last year's rally, I was asked if I'd be doing it again.

Steve,

That list was a big help, putting names to faces. Susan made all types of notes on our copy.

Thanks

I would love a copy of that, if you don't mind sharing with me.

Thanks for doing this.

Steve makes the list on the forum so everyone can copy and save. He will need everyone to post their campsite number so he can compile the list.

While I'm not personally worried about this, it should be noted that several years ago Oliver stopped providing a list due to security reasons. 

The thinking was that people with ill intent could use the list to find out that someone on that list was not at home.

Bill, David and I had this conversation last year. I originally shared too much information. David called me, and we discussed the security aspect. With his background, the feedback was very welcome. I removed last names and towns from the list. The feedback at the rally was overwhelmingly positive. I think I even gave you a printed copy. 😉

You did and it was extremely helpful.  Certainly I appreciate you for getting this done and available to all Rally goers.  I can't tell you the amount of time it saved me during the Rally in finding people that I needed to see.

Speaking of which - another note to first time attendees - make sure that you allow yourself a bit of "down time".  Perhaps even plan it into your schedule.  Simply - there is so much to do and so many people to see that things like eating, and sleeping can get placed on the back burner.

Thanks again, Steve, for putting this list together!

If anyone has any interest in going spelunking, please respond to this message and I start a list and make arraignments with the park.  Follow this link to the park website for more information.

I'd be interested in this side-trip!

I reserved my spot several months ago, but I didn't realize that the park set aside a block for the rally.  Also, there is a discount??  Maybe I should call the park and see if I can get into the reserved block.

A call would, at least, give you peace of mind regarding the discount.

Not worried.  My house:

 

[shhQuiet]

I spoke to Guntersville SP and they said sections D, E and G were full and they were now putting people in section F.

Did you get the discount?

Getting senior discounts, not being in a hurry to get somewhere, having dinner at 4:30, all these things can be yours one day!
