Fantastic Rally, great weather, 31 R-Pods in the final tally from 10 states.  Many new friendships made as well as previous friendships renewed.  Many ideas exchanged and repairs made with those having issues. Many impressed with the 1/4# black angus hot dogs as well as the amount of food fellow podders prepared.  No one left hungry, either for food or friendship.

Watters has (site 191) cancelled, which allowed us to move the Schnaitman's (Mom and daughter) and Matt Esch (husband) from site 30A onto site 191.

Dotty Freathy (site 174) is now officially Dotty Nichols, having finally married Keith this past January following 18 years of dating!

Stephanie Socha (site 193) is bringing along 2 friends named Debby and Cassie.

3 days out, our number remains at 30.  WOO-HOO!

See you soon.

Our TC (Traverse City) 2023 Rpod Rally is now only 10 days away.  Current forecast temps for the 3 day Rally are low 80s and mostly sunny, with a chance of rain, mainly on Thursday.  Also, if past experience is any indication, our Rally area is also typically blessed with at least a soft breeze.  But that said, be sure to bring your sunscreen!

Assuming the attached spreadsheet info is correct, here's the breakdown:

Model 176 (1)
Model 177 (3)
Model 178 (1)
Model 179 (10)
Model 180 (3)
Model 189 (1)
Model 190 (2)
Model 192 (1)
Model 193 (1)
Model 196 (4)
Model 201 (1)
Model 202 (2)

Furthermore, this year we will have campers attending from 10 different home states, definitely a first for the TC Rally to date:

Arizona (1)
California (1)
Indiana (2)
Illinois (1)
Kentucky (1)
Michigan (17)
Mississippi (1)
Ohio (2)
Texas (2)
Wisconsin (2)

Let me know if any of the attached information is incorrect.  Please also let me know if there are other individuals in your family attending.

Extending safe travel best wishes and blessings to all.  Again, please let ne know if you need to cancel before doing so.  See you all in TC in 10 days!


Regarding the Chinese auction gift exchange, please feel free to bring just 1 gift, which is what most of us (but not all of us) typically choose to do.  But if you bring 2 gifts to exchange, know that you'll be walking away from the Rally with 2 gifts as well.



Sincerest best regards,

Jack and Gail Kelly

Holiday Campground let me know that we have another podder for the rally.  That makes 31.  They are not located with us but in a different part of the part, not too far away, maybe 0.2-0.25 miles away.  Apparently there are a couple sites left, but in a more remote part of the park.

As of a couple hours ago the 1 last open spot has been filled by a couple who are traveling to Michigan from Arizona.  They still will not get the award for furthest away as we have a pod coming from California who will get that prize.
