RE: Ohio Rally O.S.U./Penn.S.U. Tailgate Rally - 10/24-10/26

Hi All,
We have decided to join everyone at Evergreen. We are at site 19. Being a Michigan Fan, I am leaning towards Penn State to win against OSU. Sorry Buckeye Fans. We had a great time at Maumee and look forward to seeing everyone again. Not sure about what to bring for food, so any ideas would be good. Eventually we will get the hang of things. Also how does the auction work?
JA
Tony & I are thrilled that you guys are coming! Should be a blast! Too bad we won't have Sam with us but I think Sara will have fun anyway! See you soon!

RE: Ohio Rallies 2008

Todd - how was the Novi show? Were people buying or maybe more importantly, were banks financing?
Since we're on the subject of economics, I thought I'd share a bit of info. I called my friend who still works at the mortgage company where I used to work. She said while the guidelines keep changing on investment property & condos, the average home buyer is not experiencing any difference despite what the media would like you to believe! The sky is not falling quite yet! Your investments may be taking a beating but you can still buy a house with little to no money down, at a great rate, and with slightly imperfect credit!

RE: Ohio Rallies 2008

Hey, has anyone been to Lake Lanier in Georgia? Greg and I saw some pictures of the lake and campground so we looked it up. It looks beautiful. We were thinking about maybe taking our boat there next summer and camping and were wondering if anyone has been there?
Tonya
Been fishing there as a child but I don't know what it's like now. We would love to go! I think I saw it from the plane when we flew down there a couple weeks ago.
Is this the beginning of a rally? :h
Ya'll would get to meet my Momma & 'em if we went all the way down there!

RE: MI- Family Camping rally, Memorial Day '09

Just found out about this from a link on one of the 3 Ohio rally sites. We always go to Holland state park for the holiday but this looks like a good alternative. I plan to check out the campground on the weekend of 10/17 and don't usually plan the next year campimg until after Thanksgiving. Randy
Hi Randy, we'll be looking for your post after you check it out! It's kind of far but I like that area.

RE: 1st Annual Bike ‘n Hike OH Rally Maumee Bay SP Sept 26-28

I wonder if we shouldn't start a thread so everyone who is interested in hosting a Rally can bring it to the table ahead of time and this gives people the opportunity to feel it out and see which ones will be sanctioned & wich will be unsactioned.
I myself have 2 in mind for next year.
I think making suggestions ahead of time is a great idea! Then we can research the locations and discuss with family members.

RE: Ohio Rallies 2008

You'll be seeing us in the winter, too. Manny and I have a goal for 2009: camp in every month. January will be easy because we'll already be in Florida, but February and March, we'll have to see hwo that goes! We aren't wimping out!
Hope for Global Warming... camp all year!
I have a suggestion for March!
Dublin, OH St. Patrick's Day
But we have to find an open campground near there...
Dublin, OH Area Campgrounds
And we could do groundhog day in Feb. but again, finding an open CG may be a challenge!

RE: Ohio Rally O.S.U./Penn.S.U. Tailgate Rally - 10/24-10/26

Anyone interested in bringing a few electric skillets to make grilled cheese sandwiches for the potluck Saturday night? I have one and can probably scrape up another one. Grilled cheeses go quickly once they get rolling. Anyone willing to help out?
I can provide the bread/butter (we'll use spray butter for efficiency purposes) and cheese. Just need a few extra skillets and a few extra hands. :)
We have 2 electric skillets and 1 Foreman grill that makes yummy SAMICHES!!!

RE: 1st Annual Bike ‘n Hike OH Rally Maumee Bay SP Sept 26-28

Tony wanted me to ask if anyone else is sore from the biking? He is! Guess we should stick to the paved trails and stay off the grass ones!

Good morning from beautiful Maumee Bay State Park!!
A good time has been had by all and we're getting ready for some egg bag omelets! The weather has cooperated and we had some great surprise guests! So good to see Linda and her pocket full of Tom.
We are looking forward to the OSU/PSU rally, see ya'll then!

RE: Ohio Rally O.S.U./Penn.S.U. Tailgate Rally - 10/24-10/26

How about a corn-bean bag toss contest Sat. afternoon for kids and adults? Does anybody in our group already have the equipment for this?
Hi Dee! We have at least 1 set of boards & 2 sets of bags and may possibly have another set of boards by then.

RE: 1st Annual Bike ‘n Hike OH Rally Maumee Bay SP Sept 26-28

without going back thru all the posts - what is the scoop for Friday evening food - are we supoosed to be thinking of something for that as well - better half is asking so she can be prepared if need be.
We may try to come in on thurs night if we can get away and into park.
Here's the most current version as of last Friday...
1st Annual Bike ‘n Hike OH Rally - Maumee Bay State Park - Sept. 26-28, 2008 (Officially un-sanctioned)
Maumee Bay State Park
1400 State Park Road
Oregon, OH 43618
Campground reservations: 866-644-6727 or online at:
Maumee Bay State Park
About Maumee Bay SP:
The campsites are open and spacious and border natural meadows and ponds which are open to fishing. Five miles of asphalt “bicycle/pedestrian” trails. Bike rental available. See website for additional information as we have never been there and that’s where I copied this stuff from!
About the Rally:
In honor of Tony’s birthday, we decided to go somewhere we’ve been meaning to go but haven’t yet. So we chose Maumee Bay as we have heard it is nice for biking and hiking. We posted where we were going and before we knew it, it was turning into a mini-rally!
We will be arriving Friday evening, hopefully in time for dinner!
The dinner menus for the weekend will have the “Mason Dixon” theme as we will be bringing pierogies on Friday for Northern night. And we will be providing fried chicken on Saturday evening for Southern night! Sides to be determined at a later date. We will also be enjoying Ziploc omelets on Sunday!
As far as what to bring each night, we’ll eat most anything so if you’re not comfortable with the theme, just bring something!
Saturday’s activities will include biking & hiking (weather permitting) with optional euchre games (you professionals have to take it easy on us beginners!).
Sites:
Mel, Tony & Helen – 114
BlueMax – 81
Todd & Bonnie – 115
Dandy Dan - 116
Ralph & Betsy - 80
Jim & Carol - 82
Randy & Shereen - 78
Bagpeople - 117
Tyoungs - 77
YukonMick - 112
RPaszko - 76
Food:
Mel & Tony – Friday = pierogies & side; Saturday = fried chicken & side
Helen – (hopefully her awesome dip)
BlueMax – brats/chips & pasta salad
Todd & Bonnie - coleslaw/rum pouncake & spoon cornbread/key lime pie
Ralph & Besty - taters/dessert
Jim & Carol - fruitbowl & big pot of soup

RE: 1st Annual Bike ‘n Hike OH Rally Maumee Bay SP Sept 26-28

My grandmother passed away last night. We are flying down to Georgia today. I'm still planning on making the rally but that could change. I'm sure everyone will understand. I will try to keep everyone updated.
