OUR FALL RALLY

The Granite Staters Chapter of the Family RV Association held its annual Fall Rally the first weekend of September.  The rally was held at the Twin Tamarack Family Campground in New Hampton, NH.  We occupied fifteen (15) sites, with a number of guests from the Green Mountain Chapter.  Bill Newton, the Northeast Area President was also present.  Rally participants began arriving on Thursday afternoon.  Friday afternoon a number of members went over to Lake Winnipesaukee for a ride around the lake aboard the Sophie C.  It is the boat that delivers US Mail to the islands around the lake.  Pizza and a bonfire finished off the evening.   Saturday morning was our Chapter business meeting where our existing slate of officers were reelected.  About half the crowd then headed to the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad for an excursion aboard old rail cars pulled by a steam locomotive.  As the skies opened up, we were in Hart’s Turkey Farm for a large group dinner.  Again, we finished the night around the bonfire.  Thank you to Rally Master Rich Morgan for an exciting time.

Aboard the Sophie C.
