So excited!! Now to work on my rig and pop-up camper! What time does the wheeling start in the mornings? I'd likely show up late Wednesday or early Thursday, need to figure out checking in at Twin Grove and setting up camp.

Pop up tent? If you’re planning to camp I’d stay at AOAA on Wednesday night so you could wake up and wheel on Thursday without traveling. Thursday and Friday set up at Rausch for the same reason. Then stay at Twin Grove on Saturday night so you could stumble to you tent after the BBQ. Whatever you plan to do I believe you need to reserve a spot for a tent at any of the venues.

Pop up camper. I'll have to see if I can leave early enough on Wednesday, if not I'll just plan on showing up Thursday and doing Rausch Friday and Saturday.

Cool. Just a heads up; AOAA and Rausch camping is “primitive”...no showers. Twin Grove has common bathrooms with plumbing (showers and flush toilets).
