This year the Kentucky MiniMini™ joins forces with Forest River to host the 10th Anniversary of the R-Pod via this official Anniversary Rally. This will be the biggest MiniMini™ and there should be no shortage of sites this year. Dates are 10/10/2018 - 10/14/2018 Just so you can mark that down if you're interested to set aside the time off. This Rally ends 3 days before the first R-Pod travel trailer ever rolled off the assembly line 10 years ago! Location: Green River Lake State Park: Campbellsville, Kentucky Reserve: www.reserveamerica.com MoosePod is hosting from site 84. Book where you like but I would suggest staring at the left side of the campground and working your way towards the right as the spots fill up. You must let me know you are attending, your site number, days you're attending, and how many people so that I may account for you for planned activities.

Great! we couldn't attend the one this past year. Hopefully, we will be able to attend this year's Rally.

Keep in mind it's not just the MiniMini™ this year. This is the 10th Anniversary of R-Pod Rally. It will be the biggest MiniMini for sure, and if we're lucky the biggest R-Pod Rally ever also! We'll need all the Pods we can get! ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Details will be announced tomorrow probably around this time so about 24 hours from now. To celebrate the R-Pod's 10th Anniversary Forest River will be attending as will hopefully some other vendors and suppliers. Forest River will provide a catered dinner for us along with some other perks to those attending. Help us and Forest River make this the biggest R-Pod Rally ever!

I'll do my best for us to be there. Would it be okay for me to send the information to the dealer where we purchased our R-Pod? They may be able to send it on to their customers who purchased R-Pods from them.

Probably not initially, I do owe it to all our existing community members to get some of the first chances at sites. As it progresses that might certainly be a possibility but I'd need to be in touch with anyone they send it out to. I have to track all the members and attendees this year to the letter so that I can plan and set up catering and other things. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Okay. That is why I asked. If it becomes okay, then I would certainly ask them to refer R-Pod owners to this forum and/or the Facebook group for tracking.

That would be fine then so long as they know to make contact me me via one of the community locations or my email. Again this year is just a "Super" year for it being the 10th Anniversary and all. Give it a week maybe to let some of our current community Owners get all settled and by all means find us some more Podders to join. I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't have at least 100 show up. :) ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

We're in!! By coincidence we were planning on taking the RPOD from NJ to FL in mid October for next winter. So we can take a small detour through Kentucky. Will have to map out a trip and what sights to see. We are in 129, Rich and Cindy. We are spoiled though with sewer hookups. Will have to really ration our water use so as not to fill the tanks for so many nights ------------- OLD 2017.5 RPOD 180 + 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk NEW: 2018 Passport Elite 23RB + 2017 Ram 1500 Diesel |

Okay Podders, we are hitting records here. There are only about 33 sites left his morning, we booked about 70 sites from noon yesterday until about 5PM and then during the evening hours we've had about another 7 or so booked that I'm tracking down this morning. We'll never celebrate the 10th Anniversary of R-Pods again, so this is your chance to join us. Maybe I'll do the 20th Anniversary in the future if everyone has fun. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

Yes. This annual rally usually fills in just a couple hours, this year it did take a couple days, but we have about 4x's as many sites as usual. Contact Travis and get on the wait list, and keep the dates open. IME, there will be about a 10% cancellation rate for any rally, some of them coming the day before the rally starts... ------------- |

The rally has ended and most of the 'Pods are pulling out. We are staying an extra night. It has been a great week and it has been great meeting so many of the people from here and the Facebook group. The rains held off during the week until after dark. However, today the sky weeps that the 10th Anniversary Rally and Kentucky MiniMini is over.

Just a bit of record keeping, but our final tally was 114 Pods, 1 was a wild Pod and of course we had a few "former owners" in that list. Including the 7 RVs Forest River stayed in 5 being R-Pods, 1 NoBo, and 1 Surveyor, we brought in 121 RVs to the park during the Rally, possibly one or two higher as a few members never officially checked in with us. So there you have it, an amazingly successful Rally and wonderful celebration of 10 years for the R-Pod. We'll see a lot of you at next year's Kentucky MiniMini™ and maybe we'll try to beat this record for the R-Pod 20th Anniversary someday. Thank you all for joining us.
