Solomons Island Rally


Anchors Away!  A Dogwood Rally will be held the weekend of June 1 - 3 at the Navy Recreation Area of Solomon's Island, Maryland.  Hosts for the rally are Richard & Elle Bonewitz, Steve & Mary Hall and David & Jackie Gilbert.  There is a lot to see and do in the area.  Bring your bikes, as there are lots of places to ride on the base. 

Campground: Campsites are $35 per night and include electric and water.  RIchard Bonewitz is responsible for making the campground reservations for the group and he must pay all the fees to the facility before May 1.  Let Richard know if you want to arrive early or stay later than the official rally dates.  

Click here to link to the Navy Recreation's web site for more information about the facility, things to do in the area and directions.  Richard will give the base a list of attendees, so when you check in tell them you are with Dogwood.  Since this is a military installation, there are some special requirements / restrictions.  Each person must present a picture ID for entry into the facility.  Vehicle registration and proof of insurance are also required.  No firearms are allowed.  Bicycle riders must wear helmets, so don't forget your helmet if you plan to ride a bike.
