RATS rally reservations
I'm not out to ruffle any feathers but here goes. On this one I have to agree
with Bob Loomas. You have some poor joker sitting on the waiting list for RATS since last year. Now comes a cancellation and a fellow that decided yesterday that he wants to go is able to jump the line. I know life is not fair but I will not be a party to stacking the deck. I started to call Leroy the other day about his spot but just felt it was not the right thing for "me to do". I think the ones organizing the RATS should have it understood with the campground management to allocate cancellations to the next person on the waiting list. FWIW. This is my thoughts and you have a right to yours.

There are spots being held for birder and there is a standby waiting list and the campground has the list. so what I am saying is why should people be a loud to jump the line . Bob Loomas 1985 PT 36 Bob, Is the waiting list specifically for Birders???? We don't know. That is why we posted on the forum because we wanted to make sure that our spot would go to a Birder that wanted to attend the RATS Rally rather than whoever happened to call in to the campground "just looking for a spot for the weekend." PLEASE let us know. If the waiting list is specifically for those Birders wanting to attend RATS then we'll just cancel and let it go to the next Birder on the list. Thanx..... didn't mean to step on anyone's toes. Just trying to make sure a Birder gets the spot as opposed to "Joe Schmo just passin' thru on vacation" with no interest or knowledge of RATS.

RATS rally reservations
Hi Everyone:
Please note that Twin Oaks Campground is not keeping a waiting list for this year's RATS. I called them a couple of weeks ago, and again today after reading the previous posts but they told me that they decided not to keep a waiting list. I was advised by John Finn to stay at Fair Harbor where last year's RATS was held and I have made reservations there. I would prefer to stay with everyone at Twin Oaks if a spot is available. Best wishes. Brian Johnson 1982 FC Rear Bath Bailieboro, Ontario, Canada "Howard O. Truitt" I'm not out to ruffle any feathers but here goes. On this one I have to agree with Bob Loomas. You have some poor joker sitting on the waiting list for RATS since last year. Now comes a cancellation and a fellow that decided yesterday that he wants to go is able to jump the line.

RATS rally reservations
Randy, since Twin Oaks is not keeping a list perhaps we should make one up?
