17th Annual Dogwood Trail Rally
A group will leave from 29 Dreams on April 3 at 8:00 am. BMW Rallys are very laid back and relaxing events. This event is an all camping Rally. I have attended this rally in the past and I do enjoy it. If you are looking for a Faunsdale type rally, this is not it. The location is just outside of Vicksburg, MS adjacent to Vicksburg National Military Park and very close to the Natchez Trace Parkway.
We will leave on Friday morning April 3 at 8:00 am and will return on Sunday April 5, 2008. This place has good bathrooms, hot showers and the last few years a huge bonfire with a live local band of some type.
