C205 would not be one of the sites reserved for the rally.. (in fact, it's as about as far as you can be from it) You can call back, following the instructions given, and move to the rally area if you want, the only way you would be in C205 is if you used Reserve America, which we are NOT using for the rally. ------------- |

Bugout, Just my 2 cents worth, but have you looked at a campground map? Below is a link to a map. Site 40 does not get you much closer to the Rally sites. The sites reserved for the rally were 1 - 10; 42 - 51; 77 - 86; 108 - 117. When I made my reservation, the man I spoke with said there was only one of the rally sites left. If you can not get that site, maybe you can get another site a little closer to the Rally group. http://www.kyhorsepark.com/sites/default/files/images/campmap_color_20091.pdf - http://www.kyhorsepark.com/sites/default/files/images/campmap_color_20091.pdf

| Bugout -there was a clerical at the park. If you call now, you may get one of the closer sites. |

This is correct, they forgot to turn the page to see the last 10 sites we had reserved/held. Call the number I posted, they have been good at getting it sorted out. ------------- |

No site is to far away.. LOL.. you just won't be sleeping in the main group area.. By the time you walk through, make 75 new friends, you will just be hanging with some of them in the rally area.. or siteseeing, etc. If you do reserve, since you are outside the 40 reserved sites PLEASE post your site number and dates here, so we can keep track of attendee numbers, names, etc... ------------- |

OK.. there are a couple events set up.. The hosts this year are not making a lot of big plans and setting up tours many may not want to do.. so.. It's going to be a mostly "do your own thing" rally.. which to me, is the best kind.. Rally hosts are on sights 2 and 3, the activities area will be behind them.. If you have a spare easy up, you might bring it along, shade may be sparse back there.. But on Thursday evening there will be a hot dog roast. Hot dogs, buns, plates and flatware will be provided. Bringing a favorite side of you own to share is appreciated, but not required in any way. On Saturday evening we will have the traditional "pod luck".. bring a favorite dish.. I know at least 3 attendees will be smoking pork butts all day for it.. so I know there will be "some" pulled pork..  ------------- |

Thanks Furpod. I just realized that I made a huge boneheaded mistake. Seems when I made my reservations for ERU, I only reserved until 6/24, not 6/25. So, if anyone cancels their reservation PLEASE let me know! I'll never hear the end of it from my wife  We were so looking forward to Saturday nite. ------------- 2019 Coachman RBS192 2014 178 (sold) 2018 Silverado 1500 4X4 |

Hate that.. no luck calling or going onto Reserve America (whichever you used) and trying to add that date? If nothing else, when you check in, ask at the desk if they will have anything open up.. people cancel/no show every day.. ------------- |

Yea, I tried everything. The nice person at KHP, suggested if there are no cancellations that we might consider the primitive electric sites. Can't believe I did that! ------------- 2019 Coachman RBS192 2014 178 (sold) 2018 Silverado 1500 4X4 |

It happens.. But yeah, if they would let you move to prims for one night.. non issue, except for breaking and setting up camp 5 minutes later.. LOL. The last time I hosted the ERU, we had two cancellations on Thursday. it may very well happen this year. as of last count we have 48 rigs attending, that's a lot of people that may have an issue.. ------------- |

Thanks for posting Mark. Looks like you had good weather and great friends all around. Hmmm, where will the ERU be in 2018? I suppose between furpod, pepperpod, and Huron Sailor, some ideas are coming forth.
