And one more thing we are coming from Nebraska taking Interstate 80.does anyone know about road conditions
Regarding your question about power cord length: I've been to the Rally 4x and I've never needed more power cord than my standard 50a 5th wheel cord. My power boxes have been within 5-8 feet off the back end of my trailer.

Power cords have not really been an issue, but water has and most likely will be your biggest obstacle. I carry 2 25' hoses and that has always been plenty. This will be my 6th Goshen rally.

Maybe I should dust off my old, full-auto paintball gun and let you see how well you do against ground-based anti-aircraft fire...

Word on the street is the Phrog Pond may not be happening, as the CEO may be a no show.

No Phrog Pond???


Will the Tiki hut be able to fill the void?


Why bother attending the rally at all???


I'm now expecting a rash of cancellations - we may have little more than the rally volunteers showing up!!!!

Thank you all I have 2 25' and a 50' of water hoses so maybe I will be good there. As for the power cord I have a 35' and a 15'. If we are one of the lucky ones we have 40' of sewer hose hope that is good

Since Lowbubba is coming - don't forget your swampers or at least calf high boots (aka Wellies). He isn't called Chief Black Cloud for nothing...
