I'll be in Torrington, CT sometime this summer on a trip. I'll come by assuming the timing/location work out.
I'll be in Bristol,TN/VA the last week of August. There's a certain NASCAR event there I'm going to. Anyone else going? It'd be a good place/time to feast our squinties on each other's trucks, brag, & stuff....

Its looking like I won't be able to make the VA rally. But if there was one closer, I would probably be able to attend. VA is just to far away for me with my present work load.
So, count me in if we have one closer.

Sounds like a good plan to me. PA or New England would be great. Don't need much to convince me to leave NJ for a while.

News on summer rally....
I'm looking into the Bethlehem Fair Grounds in CT.
They have horse and bath facilities, may have to pay for weekend and ins. but, they have plenty of parking and room for food.
Truck pulls, horses, parking and overnight parking for campers. This is not set yet but working on it and an idea.
Please respond.
Note this is 1 3/4 hrs. from NYC in the country. Plenty of antique shopping for the wives and short ride from amusement park in Woodbury CT. or 1 hr. from Casinos.
Steadytv, any other ideas? or anyother guys from CT.?

Thought i would mention of two top rated camp grounds in the northeast ideal for a rally.Baleys camping resort[
www.bayleys-camping.com]located in the south coastal part of Maine, just off exit 5 on Maine Turnpike&Lake George RV Park[
www.lakegeorgervpark.com,just of exit 20 on rte. 87 in New YORK State.Both have between 350-400 sites,have intertainment&activities for kids 7adults as well.Plus motels for non -campers as well.Plenty to do for the women&children,they can take only so much power stroking.Check them out.I myself will be at Bayleys Aug.5TH-13TH

I think it's a great idea... I don't know weather I'll make it as I won't be around much this summer. If I'm here I'll attend. I think the Bethlehem fair grounds is a neat idea.

Yes, The Gypsy and I will be in the North East some time late this summer. We will be coming across the Trans-Canada, and could detour just about anywhere.
We'll keep up with the Forum while on the Road for a Date, Place and time.

Bethlehem sounds good my friends father is the VP. there maybe he could help. I was also thinking of Black Rock State Park in Thomaston or The Camp over in Watertown on Smith Pond Road. Give me time to think of more.

I can vouch for the Lake George RV Park, since it is only about 7 minutes from my house. The Lake george area is very nice offering everything from horseback riding, rodeos, the Great Escape Amusement Park (part of Six Flags) boat rentals, parasailing, hiking, etc. etc. etc.
There is also a vast expanse of State and Private campgrounds available, with the one in Lake Luzerne having horse facilities. There is literally so much to do, you could never cover it all in a summer.
The downside is that is extremely busy from July 01 to Labor day. You will HAVE to call about availability, since most events are booked at least a year in advance and most weekends have something going on from Memorial day tup to almost October to include Americade, Car shows, Firemen conventions, etc.
Personally, I wouldn't mind a trip to Maine, myself.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Just talked to Bethlehem Fair people and its do-able.
Need #'s of people and needs...buildings, garbage and food.
I've e-mailed a few past Rally holders and am waiting for some replies.
Best time for the fair people is June till mid Aug. They said camp hookups are being put in now and may be ready soon.
I'm looking into sponsors now, we have a bunch of people around...Jannetti....Litchfield Ford....how big should we go....is there enough people interested?

Tupper Lake in northern NY right in the heart of the Adrondack Mountains. Its not far from Canada. The town has a large park that is avilabile for events like this and is right on the water with camping avilable there and in surronding areas. There are some good mountain road miles to be had getting there. I'm sure my old 88 7.3 could make it that far.

in New Hampshire is nice too. Lake George is quite a haul for me. I don't know the area well but somewhere in the Berkshires of Mass might be more centrally located.
) shall we look for?
and I have not as of yet noticed the stateline DOT stop I-84 in Danbury open in a year! ) and we must act quick to set up a weekend and location as our options are dwindling.
