2019 Schodack Island State Park, NY "Not A Rally"

[stefie19]

As the season winds down and we starting putting our camping gear away, we look to the start of next season!

The Gathering (a.k.a. Not a Rally) at Schodack Island State Park dates are ready to be voted on. Your vote counts so let me know which weekend works for you and the popular vote will win.

I'll throw my vote to anytime in April as were locked in to Memorial Day with our own Clan So much so that the 1 time we missed it we were admonished by the Clan for months and were told that we are not aloud Never Miss it Again.

Sorry Jim, I have to go with Memorial Day. It's warmer and easier to take a 3 day weekend for the girls.

Mike I got ya on the need for a 3 day weekend with the drive time involved & school schedules. This is why when I have tried and or ever actually get to your Rally I book it for 4 nights or more. I like the idea of an April Trip because it's truly the first change of the season to camp.

I might be a last miniute addition, depending on the dates. I will not vote because im unsure at this time , but hate to say memorial day would be better, no school for the kiddo, and we can continue in up to lake george from there.

Ok, I've decided to close this poll. Sites are starting to book up on Memorial Day weekend and since that's the weekend with the most votes right now, that's the one we're going will. Both loops are open that weekend so book on whichever side you like. We have reserved site 14 in the Riverside Loop from Fri-Mon 5/24-5/27.

JimmyM - 13
JunkyBurritos - 15
Strawhouse - 17

Looks like my camping seasons are book-ended by Steph's Not-a-rallies. Now my camper is in the long sleep until spring. Time to start thinking about work that needs doing on the camper. Bits and bobs, etc. Storage solutions, reorganization, mods, etc, etc, etc.

I'd say that's the best way to start and end a season...

 

[stefie19]

There are a few dry sites available on the Creekside loop if anyone is interested in joining a few of us on Memorial Day weekend.

 

[JimmyM]

Kids are excited about Fisherman's this weekend. Gotta admit I am too!
Got a great big roll of Reflectix to bring with me.

 

[stefie19]

I'm super excited for this weekend. I have a few projects that I would like to attempt. We'll see how it goes!

 

[JimmyM]

Yeah. I'm travelling for work right now so I don't even get home until midnight Thursday. Gonna be a minimal prep season opener. I JUST orders a set of SHW Gizmos. The guy I talked to, Bob, was great. I might even have them by Friday. So I'll have a couple of projects to do on Saturday. Your solar setup is probably like a 30 minute thing.

Projects at the campground ???

 

[JimmyM]

Imagine!
I'm also bringing Reflectix to cut for the windows.

I have seen a Dual Borla Catback exhaust installed in a campground (with a compressor and welder present being used) and have been told of things like awnings, brakes and 1/2 a rubber roof being installed... I also know that 2 of the culprits in all the above have also turned around and completely removed their storage dinettes in favour of free standing tables and chairs when camping in Indiana, after visiting an RV surplus store...

So nothing really surprises me ... lol

Great, now Jimmy is going to bring a welder with him every time he camps...hmmmm bumper reinforcement project might need to be added to my list...

 

[JimmyM]

I do own a welder. But let's put off that project until AFTER Fishermans.
