So I was flipping through the channels (trying to get up the motivation to go do some more painting in our currently-being-finished basement), and I went through a show about the Harley gathering in Sturgis. The show description called it "...one of the world's longest running motorcycle rallies."
And it hit me: How cool would it be if there was an annual RV rally that became a part of American lore (perhaps not for all the same reasons Sturgis is so infamous)?
Sure, there's Oshkosh. And the various other regional EAA fly-ins. But those aren't RV-specific. There are a few RV-specific fly-ins, but those seem to be more local in nature. We need a Sturgis for RVers.
I nominate Newton, Kansas. It's a big airport; lots of room for aircraft parking. But not too busy. Plus, all the conveniences and attractions of Wichita are close, but not so close as to inconvenience the fly-in.
Plus, I'd be able to easily go in the years until I can finish a plane.
