New Rally Map

Since the old rally map at the Fiberglass RV forum no longer exists, I am trying to put something together.

This is a start - if you have a rally or see something wrong with those listed or have suggestions, please let me know.

My regular email is currently toast, so if you wish to contact me use jonvermilye@gmail.com.

Wow, thank you for sharing this! A great focal point for a rally hopping road trip! I'm hopeful we can take a trip like that at some point and this will really be a helpful planning tool. Thanks again!

Thanks for doing this, Jon.

The Mississippi River Rendezvous at Thomson causeway needs to be added. Kinda shocked that I caught it before Iowa Dave or any of the other regulars. lol.

Edit, spelling

I don't have the dates. I'll add it as soon as I know when.

On Edit - I checked this year's posts and it looks like next years dates are September 27-29. I added with those dates - I'm sure Dave will let me know if I'm wrong!

Speaking of dates…

I know it means extra regular maintenance, but it would be useful to see the dates of the next rally as part of the name (unless you can dynamically control what fields are displayed) on the map rather than drilling into the map pin. Then you can plan your route to hit the rallies.

This will be very useful. Thank you.

Thank you Jon. I'll let escapeboulder (Greg) weigh in on the "Colorado Fiberglass Rendezvous". It changes location every two years and is now the Rocky Mountain Fiberglass Rendezvous. Greg and Ilse hosted it last year at Camp Hale, CO in July and last word from them is that it will take place again same place and about the same time as last year. Greg?

That is an excellent map Jon! really helpful.

Just wanted to mention that the map shows the Quartzite Rally dates from February 9-11 and it should read February 5-11.

Cheers

I'll make the change, although most of the rallies have additional days before & after the designated weekend. Since Gene is as close to a host as the rally has, I'll go by his posted dates.

This is great, Jon. Thanks a bunch. Jeanine did a great job on FGRV setting one up for a while now, and at FGRV we had been wondering how this could possibly carry on after she ended doing it recently.
