Liking this idea, will get with you closer to date about planning for that for sure! Will probably have to make Carrie some plain chilli of my own for her odd tastes! Great seeing you all this past weekend, was awesome for you to stop by! I think we're going to drive to O'bannon this weekend maybe just to see the sites and stuff. Gotta see if Carrie is working or not first.

This is addressed to the un-leader. Having jumped into the fray of calling for a rendezvous of R-Podders here in the west, I was wondering what a leader or un-leaders duties are? We are still in the gathering phase of podders, so not sure how many are coming, but we aren't scheduled till mid Sept. in Astoria, Oregon. Any suggestions as to what is entailed to being the Big Cahuna?
Safe Travels.

In our experience over the years with several different groups and clubs.. I see the leader/un-leader as a person who will make a few casual plans for "events", and be a bit of a central coordinator for such. Also a central contact for people, in many cases, you will have people there who have never met in person, and if the leader/un-leader breaks the ice, it will help the group meld a bit. You already have a mutual interest.. camping in pods.. so should be easy, but sometimes it isn't. And sometimes, someone, HAS to decide what time a group event will be. Or what restaurant the main group will go to.. etc. (Thanks to Tink for finding an awesome breakfast spot in Georgetown at the Eastern) In Astoria is a great maritime museum, fort Clatsop, the fur traders fort, great architecture.. most will want to see all/some of them, and will be glad to convoy or whatever, but as always, no one will want to take charge or make a decision as to order/time etc.. that's where the leader/un-leader steps in and helps get the wagon out of the mire. Good luck. I sure wouldn't want to be an leader/un-leader.. lol |

Well, thanks for the quick reply. I guess my instincts were correct for a leader. Wasn't sure what an un-leader was, but seem to be one and the same. In any event, we are looking forward to a great time. The Geklunds have just returned from a 6,000 mile journey to Alaska and back from their Washington home. They are going to regale us all at the campfire on their trip, the fun things that happened, and the unexpected. Should be extremely educational and entertaining. I have been able to secure a number of "The Official Oregon Coast 2012-2013 Visitor Guides, for each of the attendees. It contains all you need to see and do to explore and enjoy the Oregon Coast. Of course for those who are interested, there is also crabbing to be done with the proper Oregeon fishing license. Looking forward to a great time for all. Possibly you could join us too. Safe Travels.

Long way for us.. we will be in northern Cali again in Oct. We talked about taking dad's camper up that way earlier, because we were there (Astoria) with a cruise, and know we could spend a week or two there easy.
BUT.. "Car's Land" just opened up at Disneyland..

Camper Bob, there were three of us who shared the responsibilities at the first Eastern US Roundup. We did a lot of planning for it that we did not do for later ones. I think it helps to have someone who lives near the campground to be the contact person. We had name tags because there were so many who attended and none of us knew each other. We also invited the Forest River people to attend. They sent three pods with reps from their Indiana plant. You can make it as difficult or as easy as you want. For the rallies during the last two years, we have just posted the dates for the roundup, chose a campground, and people came. We have a potluck on Friday or Saturday night. The days are spent doing touristy things and at night we usually meet at the leaders site for a campfire and good company.
The term UNLEADER came about this year as a way of teasing Tink. Btw, she did a great job. |

Wish we could have been there. East Coast is a bit far for us yet. Maybe someday. Have a lot of territory to explore here in the West. Just came back from a trip to Big Sur, Moneterey, Carmel area. Still magnificent. Maybe you might see your way clear to visit the Pacific Northwest sometime. Thanks for all the info. Think I'm on the right track with preliminary planning. Hope we have a big crowd. Should be lots of fun. The Geklunds will regale us of their recent trip from their home in Washington State to Alaska and back. Looking forward to hearing about that. Also, I'm told there is a large herd of Elk that visit the park. Gonna take some pics. Safe Travels.
