        We were going but lodging rates got ridiculous, just like Redmond did. Will you be there Wednesday evening?

        We have a reservation for Wed but thought about changing it to arriving on Thu.
        Undecided at this time.

        I'll be tenting again. Won't be the same without Chuck though.

        Nearest Green Distillery is in Shelbyville, about an hour from Lebanon.

        I think Feb 1st is the date dealing with possible tariffs. I have not been following it.

        You are right Lee , Canadians are not very happy the way their neighbours are treating them , their president that is ...
        That and the fact that our dollar ain't worth much makes a lots of us reconsidering travelling to the US in the near future .
        Sorry if that comment is too political , but I though it was important that some people that I consider as friends knew how we feel ...

        Thought about RVing but the ride there and back will be the best part.

      Are you on a RV site or the Overland area?

        As time gets closer I’m on the fence but getting prepared.
        I tore my repaired (2020) rotator cuff in March and have been doing PT.
        I had to cancel going to Nova Scotia with Eric and his friend a couple of weeks ago because I didn’t feel I would be up to it.
        My plan it to arrive early and volunteer for the Gopher team again like I used to do with Chuck.
        I will ship my camping gear there to save weight.

          Yes, it was hard work and long days, but I was able to get time to see things at the rally. I will have to set some boundaries.
          I didn’t use the cart except for large deliveries and was logging 18,000 steps a day.

          Many years ago, we volunteered at a couple of MOA national rallies. At the last one, after quite a few things that kept building up, we said never, ever again. I am no longer a member of "the family" and have zero desire to renew that membership.

          What bugged us was the couple in charge were rarely around.
          The work was not hard because we had the carts.

        Looks like the Gophers is no longer a full time rally position, plus Cory and Becky are not the Gofer chairs.
        You volunteer for short shifts like all the other positions.
        I should have looked at this sooner. With different Gofer Chairs we would have signed up.
        Looks like all the Gopher time slots are filled except Sunday morning.

          I asked and they were happy to have someone with some experience.
          Get hold of Greg Feeler.
          I can give you his contact info if you can’t find him.

          Maybe we'll do a half day.
          His email shows on the rally site but just in case, send me a PM with what you have.

        He said that you spoke with him already.
        im in Altoona , PA now. On my way!

            Yes, 90 degree except the transition at the base.

            Camping wasn’t bad actually. Setup and takedown is a chore when you’re alone. I avoided the rain during both.

            I was with Mani and his friend Ed some of the evening on Friday. We kept looking for you.
            I packed up yesterday (Saturday) and am in Abingdon, VA now for a few days.

            Mike, good place to be! Go to the Barter Theater. And the Mid-Atlantic BDR starts (or ends, depending on your orientation) in Damascus, maybe 10 miles away.

            I figured Mani canceled since his last post on the subject was February.
