Yoly, I hope it'll work out that you can make it wherever we end up!

We once drove from north Georgia to Long Beach, CA and back just to attend a birthday party so if the Gods are willing we just might make it. Obviously timing and available finances at the time will be a factor but we'll try. We've been retired for over 13 years so we're well adjusted :)

So good to hear from everyone and your ideas on a location. Unlike billyg, I will still be working next spring so I'm inclined to pick a place within a half day drive from Nashville. I've found a campground near Crossville TN that might work, Spring Lake RV Resort. It looks like a nice place, has good facilities including two club houses, and their rates and cancelation policy are reasonable. I'll try to get by there to check it out and talk with the owner. Yoly, I hope it'll work out that you can make it wherever we end up!

Just give us a date and address, we have missed out on a lot the past year, so we would not want to miss this it os time for some fun thanks.

We're ready to go. Looking forward to getting together again.

Hi Nice to see next year will have new things to do starting with I will be RETIRED!!!!! I will be watching. Bill

If it's not too large of a group, this is a picturesque campground that we found above average. It had been purchased and renovated about 2 years ago with the new owners replacing all the inground plumbing and electrical (all new pedestal boxes). And if you need to be connected, the fiber-optic wireless download speeds will amaze you !

Mountain View Campground

This is a conventional RV park but the setting and surroundings make it feel like a National Forest. Kayaking and waterfalls nearby.

We've been at the Smokies three times already. Not to say we couldn't go back but want to look around some before deciding. Thanks for the info though and will keep it on the list of possibilities.

There are many nice places I'm sure. The hard part (for me) is picking one. I always try to go to places that we haven't been to. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with ... I'm sure it will be awesome.

My suggestion was half rooted in selfish practicality. Of course I entertained the idea of attending the event but our travel budget was somewhat exhausted by our Colorado trip this summer. Mountain View CG is only 58 miles from our house.

sorry got you confused with the old southern comfort get together

No problem. Figured that was the case. I don't remember a southern comfort rally. I do remember donlu held a some SE TC rallies down at Cedar Key FL. I PM'd with him when I was planning one of my gatherings and he said he wouldn't be able to do another for some time, if ever, and to go ahead and use the SE TC monicker.

I think it was the one and only " JPONDER" I think :h
he introduced me to cradads(sp) there
