We just returned from a week on Washington Island with our Pod, and had a great week. Dar had a class at a fiber arts school on the Island, and I hung out and relaxed. I didn't hang out like another member here does, fyi. That is frowned upon on the Island.
While my mind was idle, I thought that maybe we could have a gathering of the pods on Washington Island.
Positives:
- A good, well maintained campground.
- Friendly welcoming locals.
- Historic sightseeing
- Great birdwatching
- Nature trails
- Several good restaurants
Negatives: - It is at the end of a 90 mile peninsula.
- No water parks, kids rides, or rock concerts.
- Requires a round trip ferry ride (Round trip, two adults, tow vehicle, 20' camper cost $80.00)
If there is enough interest I will contact the campground and negotiate a price. We paid $35.00 per night with electric and water hookups. So let me know what you think. I was thinking about soon after Labor Day, but am open.

No date set, but soon after Labor day would work best for me. When would work for you?

We would be game, we had to cancel our plans to attend a mini rally over the Labor Day weekend on account of our son moving into his college dorm that weekend.

Lets see if we can get a few more. I plan on one more trip to the Island either way.

Keith N Dar, Got any dates yet for the Washington Island Rally? We were going to the Soo that week but meeting with fellow R-Poders is always fun. Met a nice group at the Porkies last year. I even learned to like Hot dogs. Fall is a great time in the campgrounds...UPWILD

There was so little interest I gave up on organizing anything. At this point I doubt we will be going up, but will post here if it changes.

We will be in Door County already the weekend of Sept. 14th/15th. Let us know if it works out and if any one else will be up there, it would be nice to meet up. We are staying at Wagon Trail CG, Ellison Bay, but are planning on being on Washington Island one day.

We may be able to make it that weekend. Lots of irons in the fire right now. If we can it could be fun.

I see you did make it to the Island. We discussed it but to many things in the way. I start a new job next Monday, and have much to do. Glad you had a good time, and the pictures are great!
