Hey Leon, I’ve spent some time in Chicago in the winter too and you are right, the wind is impressive.
We had snow last night (5 inches) and the Hawk is about this afternoon with wind chill at 0F.
The Pikes Peak Rally At McGregor Iowa was organized by Corky and Darlene. It’s at Pikes Peak State Park high up in the hills. This campground will not
Flood. Heck, the glaciers didn’t even get up there. It’s in the driftless area. This next year it
Will be called the Pink Elephant Rally because of a long time landmark (a Pink Elephant) located nearby. The shelter is close and walkable. It’s already reserved next May 7-10. Price of camping was $16.00 a night last spring, electric and showers, water fill sites in the CG and a dump station. No daily Park entry fee at this time. Some great birds, nearby trout fishing opportunities, fire rings at every site and finally good people.

So this means we will need to leave on Wednesday. 5/5 to get there Thursday 5/6....I'll pencil it in on the camping calendar- 18 hour trip, leave at 10 pm to arrive at 4 pm Thursday, hate to waste a pavilion night with Iowa Dave...

Open to everybody Jim. Hope to see you and Noelia there. I understand that if Steve D can make it he’ll
show us how to cook up some jaternice (E Thur Nit See) Czech delicacy. I will provide them. From Polishek locker in Protivin.

This may not be the right place to post for visibility. Maybe the admins could help pin or repost accordingly.

Rally is set for May 21 to May 24 2020. We have put 180 sites on hold for Escape and wine tours etc are already prepared.

I know a bunch of folks are really keen to book their sites. Nk'mip are upgrading their booking system and will not accept bookings for a few weeks. We will make an announcement when they are up and running.

We will do things a little differently this year.

A. First, you book your site and pay Nk'mip.
B. Second, you come to the Escape website, enter your confirmation number from Nk'mip (we will have another process for visitors/customers not staying at Nk'mip who still want to attend) and proceed to make your selections for wine tours, golf, yoga, walking, volunteering, pot luck, servicing etc. You will also be able to pay online in your local currency for the Escape activites (except golf which you pay on the day at the course).
