Hopefully Oct 7,8,9 .
I managed to get a spot for our Fifth wheel then.
Any other get together’s that aren’t listed on MGNOC ?

I hope so...she was very remorseful.  After a couple months of paperwork, all got taken care of thru the Oklahoma State Parks claim fund, so all's good.  Driving lights have been fixed and bar ends restored reasonably well.  I should know better by now not to park near the Pavilion anymore, will just leave it in the middle of the grass where the pickup trucks with their trailers and 4x4's can't get close to it!

If it gets knocked over again, someone is going for a Missourah boat Ride - Josey Wales style!

My brother-in-law's cousin says the Hoe-Noe-Bee Bigfoot is real.

A couple of years ago Darren and I went to the Honobia Bigfoot Fest during the campout.  Dusty would've been proud since no one there believed the beast was real.

OK, so (typically) this one goes on the second weekend in October.  That would be 13, 14, 15 October - but the first weekend (6, 7, 8) would be just as well.

Thoughts ?

I rented the pavilion last year. 

Who wants to do it for this year?

OK, so (typically) this one goes on the second weekend in October.  That would be 13, 14, 15 October - but the first weekend (6, 7, 8) would be just as well.

Thoughts ?

I'm good either way, I do have a room @ the rockin H for the 6,7,8 but I can change it.

If it were all up to me, I'd keep it on the second weekend as it always has been. I'll look into the pavilion early next week, otherwise we will have to appoint a general gathering place elsewhere. Question..... How was the hotel??

Nope, it's usually on Columbus Day weekend which is Monday 9 Oct.  So 5-8 Oct covers it. 

Since all the RVs slots are gone and a couple of tent slots left, I wouldn't take bets on the Pavilion.  I'm not here to post bad news, just to get everyone on the same page.   BTW- there are lots of bigger campgrounds in the area off the highway too.  But that would even be more confusing. 

carry on.

In that case, as I now remember that it was indeed the weekend before European Occupation Day, The first weekend is good with me. If all agree, we can spread the word... Still think that I will camp somewhere though no matter.

I called the park. New guy there, real nice dude. Said he was pretty good with the way we had been doing things as far as using the pavilion and pitching tents around it. Of course there is the "added tent" rate of $16 per night. The pavilion is open for the first weekend of October which is the 7th and 8th. Post a reply if this weekend works for everyone and if it would be worth reserving the pavilion or not and I will call back. If we all agree, just know that this year will be like last year as there will be no meals and whatnot provided. There simply isn't time to put together a proper rally/campout.

OK, so (typically) this one goes on the second weekend in October.  That would be 13, 14, 15 October - but the first weekend (6, 7, 8) would be just as well.

Thoughts ?

The GRIT Rally is always the weekend with the 1st Sunday in October.  The OK Rally is the following weekend.  Some long distance out of staters come to the GRIT Rally and then head up to OK on their way home. So this year, GRIT is Sept 29, 30, and Oct 1st, so OK should be Oct 6, 7, 8. 
The Norton Rally is the same weekend as GRIT so some GRIT goers head to the Norton Rally on Saturday for the day.  It has changed locations this year and is now about 1 1/2 hr southeast of Lindale.   https://www.ntnoa.org/23rallye.htm

Does that help clear up the confusion?

I was just looking at the weather for next weekend and it doesn't look too bad. There is a chance of some rain in the AM on Saturday and a smaller chance of an isolated rain shower in the afternoon. The temps are golden however as its supposed to be very very pleasant (compared to the 100's of the last several months). Looking forward to seeing who all can make it.

Yep, Dave is correct.   Weather shows a steady 72 degrees.  No rain. 

I’m already imagining the scent of the blooming eucalyptus trees, wafted towards us by that gentle ocean breeze in Oklahoma.

No rain.  Weather is “crisp.”  Great to see old friends.

I think I need to thank Sickbay Dave, aka North Louisiana Dave, (who is not Swamp Louisiana Dave) for being the head honcho who got this event going.

The Misses and I had a great time. Weather was perfect and there were no sightings of Bigfeets or Hessian"s (that can be confirmed). The roads down toward Honobia were fantastic. The food hit the spot all weekend as we first stopped in Mena at the Chopping Block and then on Saturday were ate at Outlaw BBQ in Talihena and ate with Rudy. We absolutely enjoyed visiting with all of our riding friends. Just as an FYI, there is the Gulf Coast BMW club's rally in Lafayette, La on November 9-11 at the Bayou Wilderness RV park. Looking forward to next year to see what that will hold.

Good day Gents, off  to Vote!!
