We will be following this thread closely as we are very interested in attending something in the fall as we aren't planning on going to Reno. We are also watching the other happening in the Virginia area and northeast in the spring or summer.

Ditto to Bill and Ann's post.
As we are heading for Reno from the northeast somewhere by the end of August early September, a mid September rally in the Great Lakes Region would work out nicely.
We have attended numerous "rallys" and few had the extras that the Goshen rally had. It is still called a "rally" with just the big family campout, food, campfires, talk, and visiting for 3 or 4 nights. During that time you could have a pot luck breakfast one of the mornings and a pot luck dinner one evening and maybe a campfire each evening. The rest of the time the individuals are on their own to do their thing. Maybe go visit the local attractions or just hang out at the campground.
Having a full blown formal rally is a lot of fun but it is also a lot of work done by a few energetic individuals who really never get to totally enjoy what is going on around them. You don't need scheduled events such as seminars, plant tours, Amish dinners and the like. You also don't need to get vendors involved and door prizes are not needed either. Sure these full blown rallys are nice but they are a bear to put together. Save all that kind of stuff for the BIG National Rally in Reno.
Anyway, With the exception of the California rally we are making every effort to attend every MOC rally in 2005. Quite possibly we could make this a yearly thing.
