The last time I looked, Georgia was one of the "Original Colonies".

Are we camping down south any time soon?

Tim you are welcome to set up at trip to Georgia.  There isn't much interest from people in the south.  When we went to North Carolina two years ago, no one from the south came.  Everyone was from up north.  You are always welcome to join us on a trip.  It has been a while since you camped with us.:)

At the time, I think that was a fluke. We had intended on coming, and our work schedules just didn't work out. I think similar things may have happened for others down south. We have wanted to come to some of your other more northern trips, but we just couldn't with Holly in school. We also have a very strong group at TPUC.com (now TennesseeKampers.com).

Now, Holly has to draw her vacation dates for the next year, in September. So, it is almost impossible for us to pick the right date.

Speaking of work schedules, I have to tell this story. In requesting time off for the BIG 2002 Eastern Rally in Townsend, I was granted the week off. Holly already had that week off, so it wasn't a problem for her. However, just a few weeks before the rally, I had a supervisor come to me and tell me that "Julie" needed to take my week of vacation, and I would have to pick another.

The reason? Julie had plane reservations, and (this is verbatim), "You are only going on a camping trip." I went ballistic.

Needless to say, I got the week off.

Larry I know how it is to pick vacation time early.  I normally pick in October for the following year.  My best guess for the 2008 rally is the week of July 13th (I think that is Sunday).  We usually go the week after the 4th of July, but with the 4th being on a Friday we talked about moving it back to the following week.  Hope to see you there.:)
