Again we start taking ideas for the 2014 NE Roundup scheduled for sometime between May to October 2014 Smile 

To see how much fun we had in previous roundups:
NE Roundup 2013 didn't happen Cry
NE Winter Camp 2012-2013 <= Planned for January 2013

Our 2014 NE Roundup suggestions are:
Quechee VT
Finger Lakes NY
Lake George NY
Cape Cod, MA
Bar Harbor, ME
Portland/Boothbay ME 

The following 2 posts (posts #2 and #3) will be reserved for future easy reference on where & when we decide, who's attending and links to other Roundup relevant info such as activities & restaurants.

A facebook event will be created as we get closer to the date for crossposting.

Just wondering if this is happening- is it the Finger Lake Rally posted on the FROG page?

It's not the FROG Fingerlake rally.

Sorry about the delay, we got sent out of town on biz for the month of June.  We are contacting a few campgrounds now to see if they have decent sites available for at least a handful of us!.

If you have suggestions as to where to go, please share!

Just wanted to add that we did the Fingerlakes Wine Festival 2 years ago on our own and it was stressful at best. There were long lines to wait for a tasting, long lines for the porta-potty's and an extremely long line to wait for a ride in a stock car at the track.

However, we highly recommend the area. The wineries themselves were very nice and relaxing and the Watkin's Glen state park was very pretty.  We would definitely go back but not to the the festival (which also seemed to be 80% tailgating college kids).  Taking shifts staying up to make sure that a Chinese floating lantern does not land on your r-pod or dome is not fun. (There's a reason those things are illegal in most Asian countries now and highly regulated during festivals when they are permitted.) However that's another rant for another day.

I'm going to suggest October 11 & 12 in Quechee, VT to coincide with the Harpoon Brewery's oktoberfest.  It should be approximately at Peak Foliage depending on the weather.

Things to do nearby are hikes in the Quechee Gorge, the Simon Pearce glass blowing studio and boutique, Maple Syrup tasting, part of the VT beer trail and of course riding.

Let me know if the time and place work out, then I'll contact the campground and start booking.

The campground we have in mind is the Quechee KOA.  They currently have 5-6 sites (Water & Electric) adjacent to each other available right now for that weekend (Columbus Day weekend), plus one or 2 opposite.   As it is a long weekend, there is typically a 3 day minimum stay, so let me know if that works out or not or we should look for another campground or another destination. 

The campground can't hold the sits for us unless they have names, so it you are interested, please PM me with your name and your rpod-owners handle and I'll pass that information along to the campground.  You'll have to call and pay for your site directly at a later date.
