Had a very nice time in Williston, host and hostess could not have been better. Things went well till last two miles, then the big bang. Blew the tire on left rear. We liked seeing the new models so much, went out and bought a new Cedar Creek. Well see you in Jan and/or Mar.

Wow, I am sure that was not a fun experience. I am sure Bob and the truck handled it great. How exciting getting a new rig and I am sure you have the itch to get out there with it. Reading some of the posts today about many folks winterizing makes being in Florida for the next 7 months a great place to get out there. Looking forward to getting a tour of your new Cedar Creek.

I'm so glad you two were safe though! I'm looking forward to seeing both of you again. We have reservations at Lazydays in March and we plan to go to the RV Show in January. I enjoyed meeting both of you at the rally!

We went to the Tampa Rally in the spring and loved it! We're also interested in a Florida group. We live in Parkland, FL, near Coral Springs.

Headed north to Pa for early Thanksgiving with kids. On I79 in WV the left rear trailer tire threw the tread, did not go flat. But it sure did make a mess of the trailer skirting as well as making a 10X12 hole in camper floor. Looks like the tire manuf may pick up the repair cost. Time will tell. Since the tire did not blow I have a chance of proving it was a material defect. Was able to go off an exit to a parking lot. Good Sam emergency road service was great. DW and I as well as puppy enjoyed a couple of hours in the WV sunshine.

I did not know there was a FROG rally in Kissimmee. Do you have the link to that?

I saw it on a FROG newsletter that came to my email. It is Jan 18 - 24 at Sherwood Forest RV Park in Kissimmee. I signed up and did not hear anything back for a few days so I contacted Bob Byrne and he confirmed.

There has not been much publicity other than the FROG newsletter and the FROG website. You can check it out here

FROG - Forest River Owners Group

We will be camping at the Tampa RV show them move over to Kissimmee.

We can add more spots for the Kissimmee rally. Because we're not doing any organized bus tours, which is sometimes the limiting factor, we can handle more units.

Thank you for the information on the Kissimmee Rally. We are unable to attend due to work. We do plan to make it for the Sunday dinner prior the Tampa RV show and again at Lazy Days in March.
