[quote source="/post/17822/thread" timestamp="1452969963" author="@mrt"][font size="3" face="comic sans ms"]I'm so bummed out....we had to cancel our trip to Oregon.  Apparently, weddings are more important than rallies and sampling moonshine.

Mike (Overruled) & Linda (the Ruler)  [/font][/quote]You really never expected to win did you? If only you could talk the bride and groom into getting married at Ft. Stevens  .

Mike -- maybe you can sabotage the engagement. You know, spread some rumors and stuff.

[font size="3" face="comic sans ms"]Evil, I like that!  Unfortunately, I already gave up my camping spot.  I'll keep you guys in mind when I try to get rid of my business partner!

[quote source="/post/17743/thread" timestamp="1452742968" author="@scbillandjane"]FYI --- People considering attending the Rally at Ft. Stevens in July but who have not yet reserved a campsite may want to do so right away.

As of this evening (January 13) at 10:00 P.M. EST, there were only 10 remaining sites available online at Ft. Stevens State Park campground for the nights of July 22 and 23.
        Loop D - Site 131
        Loop J - Site 195
        Loop O - Site 39
        Loop N - Sites 7, 44, 46, 54, 58, 60, 62

In addition, there are 2 ADA sites that must be reserved by phone.

We feel fortunate to have reserved Loop O, Site 41, earlier today for the week of July 19 - 26. We will be mailing our registration to Christian tomorrow, and we look forward to meeting everyone in July.


[/quote]Got your registration just a day or two ago- looking forward to seeing you guys!!

Just spoke to someone who had tried to register for the Regional Rally and apparently, the campground is completely full for the weekend that we will be there! 

We are going to have a BALL!! 

Ready for some summer weather, for sure!

Oooo good idea! I will let them know! 

[pinstriper]

Ya you can totally setup an availability alert on TA, and it will email you when something opens.

[kbob]

They are sold out currently, but there is a site about 5 miles away...

[ammobob]

So did you reserve the spot 5 miles way? That's not too far away and we'll have a blast. Come join us.

[pinstriper]

There is a KOA right outside the main gate

Got a bit of news from Sean yesterday. Christian was laid-off last Friday along with several others. The only assumption right now is it may have something to do with KZs aqusition of LivinLite but no one is sure. We have no contacts at KZ so not sure what any of this means. She did send me a list of all the attendees with names b4 she left.

I would hope this information doesn't mean anything to us as it pertains to our pending rally short of the loss of a free meal and maybe a tee shirt. We as a group elected to do this and will have a blast with or without them. I myself am more interested in meeting you and yours than anything Livinlite was going to do.

We can do some planning of our own get together (probably Saturday evening) in a couple of months.

I will continue to keep everyone informed if anything newsworthy breaks.

[peislander]

Well, best of luck to Christian! 

As Ammobob notes, don't let the potential of losing 'official' rally status deter you from gathering. Last summer three Camplites came together at Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, Canada. This year we are following up with a second gathering at Acadia National Park in Maine. More participants this year and it is likely our third East Coast gathering next year will have even more. That's because it is great fun to meet other aluminum enthusiasts in a scenic, adventurous place. So my hope is you West Coasters have your rally. A good time is guaranteed by the Aluminum Gods.

[p]Still "official" in my book     [/p][p]
[/p][p]by the way I was wrong to say KZ acquired Livin' lite. Thor owns KZ and KZ is just managing LL's operations.[/p]
