That's great! I will let you know once your form shows up and is entered. As of late the mailman has been showing up in the very late afternoons after I have locked up. It was mentioned locally that they are having trouble retaining help so the other employees are getting over loaded.

Site #32 AF 29-5K. Ford 350 dually

[Jerry and Kathie]

Is there still room for another reservation? Both of us have gotten our first vaccine and will get the second dose in Feb so we are able to travel and mingle once again.

[BruceH]

Is it known yet if there will be any participation by the Northwoods factory and if so what are their plans?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Have no plans to bring it up with them before March and please don't anyone else. Its better to let things start heading in the right direction before laying this in their lap.

Adam -

Have you considered making it a requirement that all attendees have their Covid vaccinations prior to attending the Rally?

And if not vaccinated having a negative Covid test the day before attending?

No - its unknown if getting the shot will prevent you from being a carrier at this time and a negative test does not always mean you are and even if you are it requires you to quarantine which you can not completely do on the way to your destination. So imho it would be more of a feel good requirement. I trust all my attending members to be responsible adults and follow all the known/required safety procedures in place during the time together.

The other way to look at it is IF everyone is vaccinated then there is less than a 3% chance you will get it. And perhaps even lower chance if everyone follows safety protocols.

I read an interesting article the other day and the author suggested why the Covid throat swab tests are not always accurate.

He reported that in Germany they performed autopsy on 12 Covid patients. All died from Covid in the lungs, only 9 had Covid in their throats.

Let's just hope the Governor opens up the state. Looks like Union county is currently in the extreme risk category.

Thanks Bill for your input and I understand what you are saying but I am going to stick with my original thought of "you have covid concerns then please wait another year before attending". With that being said we will be following and requiring all attending members to follow all local/state requirements in place during the time together.

With the above in mind I have posted some of my thoughts I have been working on since last fall.
Activities will depend on what is possible depending on where the area is on the Covid 19 situation at the time of the rally. So no schedule will be posted before the rally like in the past

Here are my thoughts so far. Feel free to critique them, this include my spelling.....

Some of the activities will be held at the currently being restored "The lodge at Hot Lakes Springs"
What the locals know as Hot Lakes Hotel! Link

Pre-Rally dinner @ Bud Jackson Eatery
- Depending on restriction in place at the time of the rally for building compacity - divide into proper sized groups and send at different times.

Morning Coffee
-May have to nix the morning coffee but if can be done go with - Morning coffee to be served by volunteer with ppe - individual creamer/sugar provided.

-Bingo
- Pass out with gloves all markers that have been pre-sanitized as well as bingo sheets
- Weather allowing hold bingo outside - set up tables for two with 6' spacing
- Maybe forgo markers and purchase scratch off bingo cards and forgo projector and purchase manual ball cage type.
- Prizes will be brought to winners by volunteer who is properly outfitted or maybe allow the person to approach the prize table but ask them to only touch the item they are taking.

Sanitizer opportunities
-Put together alcohol-based and alcohol free hand sanitizer stations to be placed at the different areas during events

Golf cart event
- Spectators to maintain themselves at proper spacing from each other
- Have a volunteer wipe down cart between each contestant

Seminars
- in person if restrictions allow
- Use zoom for presentations (best if you download and learn to use prior to arriving at park) - each member can join via their own mobile device with those who have decent data plans using their own data and those who do not using the parks wifi as it has limited capacity.

Factory tour
- If factory is unable to provide this year set up virtual factory tour?

Evening Campfire
- Members to maintain themselves at proper spacing from each other
- In past years Smore fixens were provided but maybe a bring your own if desired again depending on requirements at time of rally. Also had the idea of pre-made in plastic bags laid out on table so only touching the ones being taken.

White Elephant
-Place sign up sheet to know how to arrange seating based on attendance
- Do social distance seating outside for number who sign up
- Instead of each person getting up and choosing a gift off the table. The member will choose from their seat and a volunteer wearing the proper ppe will bring the gift to the member and open it for them. Placing it on the table where it is to remain untouched until the game is over. When a gift is stolen it will be moved to the new owner by the volunteer where it is to remain untouched until the game is over.

-SkyMed has been serving the traveling public since 1989.

If a member sustains a critical illness or injury while traveling in one of the 32 countries that make up the SkyMed UNIVERSE, they will be repatriated back to their home hospital of choice.

Things to still figure out/waiting to hear back from
-Moryde
-Lippert slide outs
-Mini golf set up
-Scavenger hunt
