Fall Rally - 2004
Three families attended the very first Northeast Outbackers Rally, held at Appalachian Campsites, in Shartlesville, PA, in August 2004.

From L to R: Hootbob and his family, camping479 and his family, and us, Hatcityhosehauler, and family.
Spring Rally - 2005
In 2005, there were two rallies. The first was  at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Crystal Lake, in Garrettsville, NY.  That is just outside of Cooperstown, NY, the home of Doubleday Field, and the Baseball Hall of Fame.  This was held over Mothers Day Weekend, in May.  We had 12 attend, and the above map shows everyone's campsite.  A great time was had by all, T-Shirts were made, and Thor made a Music CD anthology for everyone.  It was plain to see that we would be doing this all again.

In the fall of 2005, there was another rally, outside of Brockville, ON., in the Thousand Islands Region of the St Lawrence River.  Unfortunately, Tim's work schedule, a triathalon for Clare, and Timmy's school schedule conspired against us, and we were unable to attend that one.

2006 is shaping up to the year of the Rally.  There are no less then 14 rallies of Outbackers planned across the US.  We are attending three of them .  There are plans under way to try and get a National Rally together for 2007.  Time will tell.
