Many thanks to Nuisance and the others involved for the great job they did during the rally. I don't remember the name of the catering service but the catered dinner (thank you FROG and Forest River) was awesome and the mashed potatoes were to die for. I would love to have that recipe.

Here’s a photo of the two cakes (one chocolate and one white) and the “where are you from map.” Most of the green pins are in the central states but if you look hard you can see one pin in Washington State and one pin down in Florida.

I want to add our thanks to Debbie and crew for putting on a great rally. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest, we all had fun . Got to meet a bunch of new friends and renew friendships with people we hadn't seen in a while. We even had campfires every night helping a friend burn their old deck steps. One campfire did get cut short by rain, but there was fire every night.

We are looking forward to the next Frog-tober fest in Amana.

Matt and I add our thanks, as well. Our first rally, first camping alone, except for our dog Mercy... It was a good, good time. I need to practice the Corn hole toss or as we say bean bag toss. I admired the talent! Missed the pet contest, got hung up in town, but looked like a great time. Met some nice people. Thanks, again!

Nope. As a matter of fact the Amana Rally & Goshen were one of the main reasons we tried to stay in an FR product. Amana solidified our decision to move back to a towed unit.

As I expected, trading the Berk to a fifth wheel wasn't easy & we planned to sell it privately in the spring. But we fell in love with this floor plan and the dealer in Des Moines made us an offer on a new order that I couldn't refuse.

Best wishes on a successful rally in 2015. Perhaps we'll be seeing you down the road!

That's harsh! Not quite accurate though. I've never found an RV dealer as responsive and customer focused as the John Deere dealer network!

Hey look at it this way. At least I'm not a HOG!
