Berkshires invade Goshen!! Film at 11

Registration complete!! Goshen 2016 HERE WE COME!!!! Who else is going?
We also signed up for the Brown Bag Tour of Amish Country! (Something tells me I better diet hard before that.......) I never was able to convince Rick that "yes, feeding a Bison WILL be fun". He wasn't believing me...... so we skipped that one
Now, to start the count down till August!!

Karen, Herk tells me that even more fun than feeding the bison is having the bison feed you! He wants to go through the Bar-B-Q twice, but I'm going to have Laura watch and slap his hand if he tries.

Finally got registered. I normally use Google Chrome, but after spending 20 minutes of being told an error occurred and I should refresh the page, I switched to FireFox and got in right away.. Not sure what I have in Chrome that might have been blocking it, but all is well that ends well.


Now the wait for August ...... tick tock tick tock.....

LOL! I didn't think of it that way....... maybe if I tell Rick "you don't have to touch them until it is with a fork" he will agree......

Ken,
I keep having issues with Chrome also. Keep getting a message that flash plugin in has crashed. Any hints as to how to keep that from happening?
Thanks,
Tom

No hints.
I kept getting two different errors. One said it couldn't process the credit card and the other simply said there was an error. Both told me to refresh and try again.
After doing that for ab out 20 minutes, (thinking it may be due to server over load), I gave up and submitted using Fire Fox.

I simply loaded the same url in FF and then searched for rally and re-selected my choices and it went thru immediately.

We went to the RV museum while we were there in 2014 so that is why we didn't pick that tour, although I hear that Das Essenhaus restaurant is fabulous!

It is Karen -- and you and Rick can always go on Tuesday or Thursday when there aren't any scheduled evening meals!

I think there is also going to be a Georgetown Epidemic also!
Registered Today!!! Doing the brown bag tour on Thursday, the Tuesday was already sold out! We are going to drive to the RV museum on Tuesday (Seen it on Flipping RV), been dying to see it.
Is there anyone else going up from Florida?

We "caught" that epidemic once. We loved our Georgetown! It had a faux brick wall in the bedroom and a green glass vessel sink in the bathroom! It was really a beautiful coach!
You will really enjoy the RV Museum! I had no idea people were RVing that far back in history until we went to that museum! They even had some camping inspired toys that will bring back memories of Sears Catalog lists for Santa!
Have a great time!
Karen

While I won't be in a Berkshire, I will be attending my first FROG rally with my Salem CruiseLite. Got into the second Brown Bag tour but the Bison one was sold out as was the Prime Rib Dinner and Cruise. Oh well, got to be quick to get in I guess. Looking forward to this event.

Welcome Aboard! This will be our first FR rally too!
Do they have some kind of waiting list for the tours in case someone cancels?

Karen, looking forward to meeting you guys as well, but Denise can't get off work. She may come down and visit for a day, though.

"Maybe"

No promises but in the past *IF* FROG Bob can finagle more slots he will try - my advice is stand by and see what happens. SO many moving parts!

Just to give y'all a sense of the madness, on any given rally day, Bob & Cindy are up at the crack 'o dawn coordinating 2-4 factory tours (free), the paid tour de jour, and all the little nit-noids that involve the care, feeding, and problem-solving that goes along with a 1,600+ person Rally

After answering email when they get back to their rig, they usually get to bed at @ 10PM...MAYBE!

So when you see them say THANK YOU!

BamaBob,
I am reposting your rally info over here too. Thank you for the info.


Tuesday and Thursday are the "On your own days for supper/dinner" In the past FROG groups have gotten together for Pot Luck dinners on those nights. Some people use those days to go to dinner at the very popular Das Essenhaus (google it!)

Lunch is on your own every day (assuming you WANT lunch after the huge buffet breakfasts they serve!)

Supper/Dinner every night except Tue/Thur, with Monday being a over the top "Pete's Meal" in honor of Pete Liegl (CEO of Forest River) Last year it was Filet Mignon!)

Obviously, if you arrive early, you need to plan for all meals for each day you arrive early.

Several people caravanned last year - it might not hurt to start a FROG International '16 caravan thread in the F.R.O.G. Events area of the Forum.
