I am planning to be there, but I have a lot to do first, so I can't make a reservation yet. At my age, I don't plan that far ahead anyway.

what are the dates ???

retiredsailor · RV-Dreams Family Member

Gina and I plan on being there at least from the 7th through the 14th. Work will dictate whether or not we are there longer. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

netters · RV-Dreams Family Member

Annette some are staying the full month of March a nd some are only staying the first or second week or both weeks. I think the potluck and Icecream social are in the first week..correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

leno · RV-Dreams Family Member

We have talked about doing the ice cream social and pot luck both weeks. Why not! We can talk about it some more. We are also open for any suggestions.

debken · RV-Dreams Family Member

I called this morning because I hadn't heard anything about our reservation and I was told we are definitely confirmed so we'll be there! We're staying for the entire month of March.

Debbie

susie/jack · RV-Dreams Family Member

I will be there for the entire month of March. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and recreating late night chats - face to face.

kpoppa · RV-Dreams Community Member

Donna and I have confirmed our reservations for the first week, and we may stay for the 2nd week also.

We are currently in the 4th day of a 2 month trip. If you would like to follow along on our journey go to

We are thinking of attending. I noticed some of you have already made reservations. If we wait a bit to reserve will we risk not getting a spot? We have been to Kerrville but never stayed at Buckhorn. TIA

Speedhitch · RV-Dreams Family Member

Coleen I would not think that they will fill up that fast between now and March of next year. But you can make it and if things don't work out you can change it before they charge you. I really think the more Pot Lucks we can have the better we will all eat!!! LOL I know we will have fun.

Joe and Sherri

Guiler85 · RV-Dreams Family Member

I am so bummed! We are heading west next year and plan to be in the San Antonio area, so I checked our schedule and we'll miss the gathering by a couple of weeks! We're coming thru in February. Oh, well. I'm sure there'll be another time. I know you'll have a great time!

gypsymaus · RV-Dreams Family Member

Thanks Joe and Sherri. I will call and reserve a spot soon. smile

annette · RV-Dreams Family Member

When i call to reserve a spot is there a name to give or RV dreams rally.?? If not where is everyone staying location in the park?? We probably will bev there the weekend of March 13 or 14 and stay a few days. Who else will be there. Also the time we are there i can help organize some potlucks etc..?

netters · RV-Dreams Family Member

Annette tell them that you are with the Dortha Hall group. They will know the details and the area where our reservations are. I think most of us will be there from March 1st thru the 15th. A few may stay a little longer. No one has really talked about the potlucks yet but are thinking of having one each week and some day trips also. Maybe some geocaching too. We'll try to get a discussion on this going on chat one of these nights....

Netters biggrin

Speedhitch · RV-Dreams Family Member

Remember Dreamers...this is NOT a Rally...this is a "Gathering". Dreamers "Gather" where ever they can whenever they can for as long as they can...We only Rally when Howard and Linda sound the signal. If they can't this year we will hunt them out and "Gather" around them until they can "Rally" with us.

Speedy

susie/jack · RV-Dreams Family Member

Well said, Speedy....This is a "Gathering Of Dreamers", it is Not A Rally. There are no events - it is come when you want - leave when you want and have a great time while you are there.

As far as potlucks , ice cream socials etc i am sure those will be happening but at this time there is no schedule.

Anyone wanting to make reservations needs to call the park directly and let them know they are with the Dortha Hall Party.---At the current time there are 12 parties registered. We still need 3 more to get a group rate. Also reservations are coming in fast and furious so if you want to be a part of the "Gathering Of Dreamers" you might want to call to be assured of a spot.

If you have questions, you can ask them here and someone will be sure to answer.

FD5 · RV-Dreams Family Member

Made reservations yesterday for second week.

annette · RV-Dreams Family Member

i made reservations for March 15-18 maybe staying longer if we can.

The lady said i was number 13........

susie/jack · RV-Dreams Family Member

There has been conversation about how many reservations we have for Kerrville. There are fifteen confirmed reservations. If you are interested in joining us for Our Gathering of Dreamers during the month of March please post here and we will let you know how to make your reservations so we are guaranteed to be together. Its guarantted to be a fun time!!! Especially if Speedy brings his dress!!

Moppah · RV-Dreams Community Member

I guess since all the reservations are being made under my name, I better tell you that we are coming.

Mark and I will be arriving on March 1. We are staying for 2 weeks at least, not sure about anything past that.

Fun is the only plan that has been made! smile

Speedhitch · RV-Dreams Family Member

Don't count on Speedy being in a dress...but you can count on us having fun. I think this year Mac is dressing up and Mark and Jim are doing "Croaky" (inside joke) It should be one heck of a good time for us Dreamers.

sirwinston21 · RV-Dreams Family Member

We, Jesse n Ginger, are reserved for Mar. 1 to Mar. 15. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

JATexas · RV-Dreams Community Member

We made our reservation for Buckhorn at last and will arrive March 12 departing around the 20th depending on who we may miss leaving on that date. Our plan is to meet as many of the "Dreamers" as we can at this gathering. We are in a back in spot and will have our little flag with our TX Logo on it that reads "JA-Texas". If I forget to put it out...we drive a 2001 Newmar Kountry Star MH, Tan/White and tow a 2001 GMC Sonoma also tan.

See ya' there.

phyllen · RV-Dreams Family Member

First time I saw this.

We retire 1/30 and head for Louisiana and Texas from NJ in mid February. We have Granddaughter in Austin area that we plan on seeing sometime in March. Had planned on spending some time in this area.

Is this some type of special rally?

netters · RV-Dreams Family Member

phyllen, this is just a bunch of us Dreamers meeting at Buckhorn for however amount of time each of us can make it. Some will be there March 1st for 2 weeks or a month and some will come in the middle of the month. Feel free to join us!! We are just playing it by ear and will have a great time together. If you call to make a reservation, let them know that you are with the Dortha Hall group and I think we will get a better rate.

phyllen · RV-Dreams Family Member

We sure will keep this in mind.

There is the possibility Len might be working some while we are in SW Louisiana area. As he is retiring some NJ Dept of Corrections, he is not eligible for Unemployment benefits. UNLESS he becomes reemployed and earns 6 times his benefit rate and then gets laid off.

There are several possibilities for short term employment back in his home area. As he has two more years before his SS kicks in, a combination of short term jobs and UI, sure would help the finances.

But, if he is not working, we will surely be headed that way.

Thanks.

phyllen · RV-Dreams Family Member

Make that retiring FROM NJ Dept....... I need to proof read better!

netters · RV-Dreams Family Member

Ok, curiouisty got the best of me...I called Buckhorn RV Resort to find out for sure how many reservations are made as of today. As of today there are 16 reservations made for the gathering. Not all for the same days, but all in March. If you want a current list, let me know. I have a spreadsheet made up in excel and I can email it to you.

LakeConroePenny · RV-Dreams Family Member

Hi Y'all.
Just for any folks who may not know who, or where to contact, the rates etc., would someone please post all the info ?
We know it is any time in March, at Buckhorn, under Dortha Hall's Group, but some may not know the rest of the story....
It might spark an interest to others of the Community Forum.
More the merrier.
I am still working on my plans to get there.

Ya'll have fun now, ya hear?

dreamjosie · RV-Dreams Family Member

A big "Thank You" to all the RV-Dreamers at the Gathering yesterday. We were not part of the gathering, but staying nearby. We took the opportunity to visit the gathering to see old friends we had not seen in a while, and also meet new friends.

Joining in the potluck, we were made to feel so welcome. Many introduced themselves to us and we were happy to meet so many people we only knew on the forum and blogs.

Prior to the potluck, we came to visit Joe and Sherri Pitman, long time readers of our blog, who have corresponded with us often. We were happy to finally meet them.

So thanks all you dreamers for making us feel like part of the group. We enjoyed meeting you all.

For those of our Dreamer number that were unable to join us here for the "Gathering of Dreamers" we would like to say that we missed all of you and spoke of you often. Now as soon as you can you must make plans for the next "Gathering of Dreamers". The fun and excitement has been unbelievable! Never before have Sherri and I experienced such friendship...There was even a party in the laundry mat!!! I know how often do you see that? Be sure you do not miss the next "Gathering of Dreamers". and bring your stories to share with us all....

SoonToTravel · RV-Dreams Family Member

Hi Sherri & Speedy, We sure wish we were there too. Maybe next yr. We are thinking about attending the rally in Oct. since we won't be able to tour the New England states ( one of Don's dreams after he retires ) because we have a new grandchild on the way the first week of Sept., of course that comes first. Well, think of us while in that warmer Tx. weather. We had 3 inches of snow last night & it is 34 degrees at the moment in southern Va.

Be safe in your travels.

Lois

Doncat · RV-Dreams Family Member

Lois,
Don't be too envious of the weather here in Kerrville, we are down to 36 here and raining most of the time!! It is the warmth of the company of good friends that keep it bearable... biggrin
