Is there a Platform to Exit at the Main Chow Hall or do you have to finish the entire Zip Line Experience? Is it the same Price as Last year? Still have the requirement you must be at least 4' tall? Is the Lady who fell last year still in Rehab? Youroo!!

Tour #1. Midnight scooter ride. Bring your scooter, meet in the Cedar Creek section. Bring tomatoes and eggs. Make sure your batteries are fully charged.
This is a free tour and bail money will not be provided.

Tour #2. All Star Zip Lines. Repel from the top of the grand stands into RPod village. There are plenty of screen houses to make for a potential soft landing. This tour involves climbing several flights of stairs and you will need to be capable of running away when you land. Bring a helmet. This is a free tour and bail money or insurance copay will not be provided.

Tour #3. Wheel Barrel Rides. Bring your wheel barrel, wife and running shoes. There will be heated races around the track. Several obstacles and jumps will be included throughout the track. This event will be the only daytime event offered so bring your own lunch and beverage. Prizes will be offered for best in show, best wipe-out, fastest couple, best paint job, best decorated and of course, fastest without falling over. Bring an ogygen tank if you have one and be prepared to share it. Solo cups and cameras recommended and as always, this tour is free and does not include bail money.

Yes IGGY that is it, Please sign up my girlfriend Cheryl, she will zip line any time any where, she zipped across the Royal Gorge last summer and jumped of the Royal Gorge bridge several years ago on a bungee cord. she was really disappointed that they don't allow that any more. I will be good for the charges. If it ends at the Tiki Hut it would be better.

I think it might be better if it started at the Tiki Hut...

I guess I need to add another item to my service request. Although I have already emailed it, I guess I can send another with a note that it is an update.

What did you back into or hit? Don't think it would be Forest River's responsibility to fix that?

That separation is on the front edge of the 5th wheel. Did not hit anything, not even a power pedestal. [emoji3]

Busy, Busy, Busy!

An article in today's RVBusiness talks about the Elkhart 4H Fairgrounds and prominently mentions the FROG International rally.

some info, please

We'll be first timers at the FIR this year. Could some of you veterans share a little info on what to expect--food, exhibits, entertainment, showers, what if we don't get full hookups, etc.
Many thanks and looking forward to it.

More information should be available shortly. The Survival Tips thread should be still valid and any changes will be posted there.

It's really important to contact Bob Byrne at Forest River Owners Group (Username here - F.R.O.G.) if you have any special needs regarding to parking. Handicap parking is close to the main events and dining but most are not sewer hookups. Wheel Chair bound folks need to be identified so they can be parked near paving. ONLY Bob can approve special parking needs. WE have nothing to do with the Rally. It is a FROG event.

Order of arrival will not get you special consideration, as parking spots are pre-assigned and the Rally is FULL.

The only time order of arrival means anything is if you are parking in the "Hobo" (one after the next) areas. If you want to park with your friends, plan on meeting at a location other than the Fairgrounds, then arrive together.
