Calendar Event: 2016 Eastern Roundup Posted: 08 Aug 2015 at 11:30am |
The next Eastern Roundup will be held in Traverse City, MI, at the Timber Ridge Resort and Campground. The owner has agreed to set aside a block of water/electric and full hookup sites for us to reserve for a designated time period. After that it's a first come/first serve basis. Their computer can start taking reservations for our event this coming September, so they'll be contacting me sometime that month with details on the reservation period, site numbers, deposit info, etc. They can accommodate early arrivals and late stays too.
There's so much to to in Traverse City that campground activities will be kept to a minimum. We'll probably have the traditional meet and greet campfire and a campfire hot dog night, but otherwise go out and explore this fabulous area. One event we do have planned is a vineyard tour/wine tasting. Traverse City has more vineyards than Napa valley. We've chosen a tour company that will come to the campground and take us on a tour. The owner used to sell Forest River products and is excited about taking part in our event. Details on prices and how to reserve a spot will come later. Look for the event in the rpod owners Facebook page. There's some links to things to do and see, and more info will be posted in the future. Hope to see you there! |

We have a couple more events in the works that are being planned by a couple of our attendees. One is a tour of the Great Lakes Maritime Academy and training ship , and the other is a tour of nearby Interlochen Center for the Arts.
In town you can golf at one of the 17 courses, ride miles of bike trails, charter a salmon boat, sail on a tall ship, rent kayaks, visit wineries, check out microbreweries, dine in gourmet restaurants, shop till you drop, or visit a lighthouse. With a little travel time you can climb sand dunes, visit a historic fishing village, see the fifth longest suspension bridge in the world, or see an internationally recognized art and music school. With a little drive time you can take a ferry to an island where only bicycles and horses are allowed. Take your own bike, or rent one. Rent a horse drawn carriage and drive it yourself, or hire a driver.

We have 15 pods that plan to attend so far, according to the Facebook page. If you haven't yet, check the rpod owner's Facebook page and look for the 2016 Eastern Roundup under events.

Later this month the park should be able to take reservations for our upcoming rally. We hope to block off some sites for a limited time for our group to reserve from. As soon as they give us the go, I'll make an announcement on both forums and on the Facebook page.
