R-Pods are welcome from far and wide to one of Michigan's premier destinations, Traverse City, Thursday June 18 to Sunday noon June 21. We will set up at the Holiday Park Campground. Please visit their website for site locations and reservations (www.HolidayParktc.com). We have reserved site 160. Other sites to consider are 159, 161-178 and 186-224. Campground phone number is (231) 943-4410. Sites will be released on a first come basis so the sooner you call in your reservation, the better. FYI, it took me 2 hours to get through today as this was their first day for taking reservations for 2020. Most of the callers this week are reserving for Cherry Festival Week in July. I was told next week will be much easier to get through. However, once you get your site reserved please let me know so we can keep an active list on those attending. Thank you! This event is also cross-posted on the R-Pod FB page as well. Questions? Ask away here or PM me.

Visited this campground a few years back. It was our first trip with our pod and was an organized rpod get together. Had a great time visiting with other owners. Will be at site 164. Looking forward to meeting others again. Thanks for organizing this. ------------- Marv-N-Kathy 2015 179 RPod 2016 Chevy Tahoe |

Just spoke to the folks at Holiday Park Campground. The following sites are still available for our ralley: 159, 167, 168, 169, 170, 175, 176, 177, 178 and most of the sites between 213-220. Also a few others further away inside the campground haven't been spoken for as well. Now is the time to register. Thanks

Was wondering if this event will still take place. Many June events in IL and IN are being cancelled (Perogi fest in Whiting, IN.)  Just checking ------------- Marv-N-Kathy 2015 179 RPod 2016 Chevy Tahoe |

Just got off the phone with the fine folks at Holiday Campground. They are hopeful and plan on opening their campground by mid-May so at this point we will continue to plan on holding our R-Pod round-up in Traverse City on the same days. Thank you for asking.

Spoke with the owner of Holiday Campground in Traverse City yesterday. Their plan is to open, unless the governor plans to keep all campgrounds closed. Also note, IF they are open there will be NO BATHHOUSE facilities. However each campsite in the campground has full hookups including electricity, water, and sewer. Planned open day is June 12, when the governor's stay at home order terminates.

After some careful and I hope thoughtful deliberation, my wife and I have cancelled our reservation at Holiday Park and will not be attending the June 18-21 Traverse City R-Pod Roundup. We loved the park and enjoyed visiting w/ other Pod owners the last time everyone gathered there but are just not ready yet. Strictly a personal decision. Thanks for organizing the event. We were scheduled to be at site 164. ------------- Marv-N-Kathy 2015 179 RPod 2016 Chevy Tahoe |

Marv and Kathy, thanks for letting us know. We don't know at this point whether or not it will be a go; much depends on the directives out of Lansing. We are still planning that it will be a go, rather be ready and cancel verses not planning on having it and then finding out at the last minute we can have the event. Regardless, you will be missed. Have a great summer, enjoy your family, each other, and your friends during these uncertain times. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

Many thanks to all of you who attended. Great friendships were either started or renewed. Much information was passed on as we toured each others pods and observing and taking notes of modifications made. The campfire chats each evening made us all feel like 'family.' And to top it all, the weather in northern Michigan during our stay was absolutely perfect. We were all blessed.

| Reference Jato's June 23rd posting: Ditto on the Traverse City, MI R-pod Rally. The Rally hosted by Jato was much fun. As the only "out of state" people (Cincinnati, Ohio), my wife and I truly enjoyed meeting the other podders and found the travel most worthwhile. Much knowledge was gained about our trailers and RVing. There was plenty of time for day trips to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Swinging toward home, Holland and Saugatuck were enjoyable visits as well. Thanks again for Jato's effort and the friendliness, goodwill and familiarity shared by our group. "Dengle" (Dennis & Maryellen) |
