As a lot of the folks on GS Forum know, GS has stopped supporting the state rallies.  If fact most if not all of the state organizations have shut down and no longer exist. What this means is there are no more GS State Rallies. Well folks, the great folks in Iowa are attempting to keep the friendships that you form at rallies alive. They have rebranded them as Iowa Camping Friends. They are having a" open to everyone" rally June 20-23 at the Amana RV Park in Amana Iowa. If you have never been to the Amana Colonies, it should be on your bucket list.  If you folks are planning on passing through Iowa towards the end of June and would like to attend a rally  Please think about the Iowa Camping Friends. Their link is  Iowa Good Sam. Once there go to the rally download information.   Hope to see you   ... View more

Looking forward to your suggestions, we need to make reservations soon!   TIA! ... View more
