We'd like to get the ball rolling on a regional rally and would like to know what locations other MOC members in the Northeast might be interested in. Here's a couple of ideas to get the ball rolling...
Location:
Lake George area - Beautiful location with a lot of attractions and relatively central for New England states.
Niagara Falls area - Another area of NYS with a few attractions.
Time Frame:
We'd like to aim for June. Jen will definitely be home from work and it will allow those people who want to attend our regional event to also be able to attend the national event in September.
Length:
3 day or 4 day, encompassing a weekend.
Campground Amenities:
- We prefer full hookup, but don't mind a site without sewer. But, we'd like to see what everyone else would be interested in.
- Pet Friendly. A very large majority of MOC members at the national rally had pets, many had large dogs (including us), so this is a must.
Rally Structure:
Which would everybody prefer?
- Free Form - Nothing more than one or two pot luck meals and a campfire or games.
- Some events planned - Pre-planned schedule for tours of local attractions
Now, these are only recommendations from us to get the ball rolling, please feel free to throw out other ideas! I know we had several NY, PA, and Canadian members interested in a regional event, which is why we focused more on NY, but we'd like to hear from others from further up New England also.
