Re: Last minute notices
I posted the agenda but forgot to put up a message to let people know it's attached to the bottom of the first message in this thread.
The directions to the KOA are extremely easy for anyone coming from the south (those traveling north on I-81). You just get off at I-81 exit 257 ("Mauzy/Broadway" I think). At the bottom of the ramp, turn right onto US-11 north. Take your first right (across from the Liberty truck stop) onto Rt 608 Mauzy-Athlone Road.
If you are coming from the north (traveling south on I-81), then it is just a little bit trickier. Take I-81 exit 257 Mauzy/Broadway. At the top of the ramp, turn left, then immediately turn left again at the traffic light onto US-11 north. Cross over the interstate and when the Liberty truck stop is on your left, turn right onto 608/Mauzy-Athlone Road.
There is a KOA sign pointing you down Mauzy-Athlone Road. Follow that a few miles to where it enters the KOA. Mauzy-Athlone road is a good hard-surface/paved road, but it has some narrow spots and some sharpish turns. I took my 36' 5er on that road (twice of course) and had no problems. Just pay attention and keep a reasonable speed.
I'm arriving on Thursday and staying through Monday so I look forward to seeing everyone there.
Oh, about the pot luck (since some have asked)... Last time I did a rally I went to a great deal of trouble to make sure everything was perfect. This is the exact opposite. Heartland Owner's Club will be providing hamburgers, hot dogs, soda pop, and water (thank you to Gus for taking care of that actually). There won't be a signup sheet or anything like that. You bring what you want to bring, be that a side dish, a salad, a dessert, potato chips (because I forgot to ask Gus for chips because I just thought of them), or even a main dish (not everyone loves burgers & dogs).
