I organized the rally a few years running till Covid killed it off. It got so hard trying to find a hotel with a bar/restaurant on site though we did manage in Palatka for a few years until the management messed us around with room allocation and contractors.
There was also less and less interest.
As a side note I sold my bike last week. Started to feel nervous about the drivers and felt like I was losing interest. I am still around but not as much on the forums. Though if somebody put a rally together I can always drive there (or get another bike some day!).
Wait a minute, I don't remember that being proposed before the membership for approval, that being the case, there is the small matter of the removal of the clubs tattoo...
I like Cheyenne near Palatka. The venue is large enough to accommodate a large crowd.
Depends on what you consider a large crowd? I think they had about 20 or so at the height of interest a few years back. My MC Chapter is hosting our National Convention next year near Altamonte Springs, FL. To date we've booked up all our blocks at three hotels and have just over 700 coming so far. That's a "large crowd."

I almost moved up to that area when I was on the job and offered a position with the state there but I chose Daytona instead.
After that, we always wondered what it was like living in that part of Florida, now... we have contemplated moving up that way and buying a place with a few acres but it's so desolate and no stores or medical facilities around except for in Jacksonville which is some distance from Lake City...
Just to stray off topic a bit, Gainesville ( 40 Miles from Lake City ) Has some of the finest Medical Facilities in Florida .. Is where I go for anything critical ..
Since you are located in the Daytona Area, why not put something together over this side of the peninsula. It would be a short trip for me but a good destination for some of the long haulers that need an excuse to ride somewhere. You are probably aware that The Florida Crew Rally use to meet in Palaka in November, but Covid did that in.
I'm a neighbor a little to your North in OB. Want to dicuss this Idea more, PM me.
Something everyone interested can manage distance wise I would think...
Is 22 right now and may drop to 18 at Daybreak In Lake City.. Will be that way all weekend but next weekend back in the 70's .. But won't be riding this weekend ...
