Subject: RE: [east] The rules From: Jim Kerick Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 16:42:06 -0400 >From Martyn's webpage (http://foreven.com/motorcycles/rcr.htm) The Traditional Boundaries The geographical boundaries of the RCR have been much discussed, usually on an annual basis. The boundaries are actually guidelines rather than rules -- it is up to the individual Oompah to decide where to hold the RCR. The definitive answer is, however: East of the Mississippi River West of the Atlantic Ocean North of the northern South Carolina border South of the southern Pennsylvania border There is some variance in folks' memories about whether the area includes South Carolina and / or Pennsylvania; I believe that both are excluded. >>> >1) how the Oompah is selected, and >> >> Get someone sufficiently drunk, then work on them until >> they say "Oh, What The Hell."(tm) Well I was not drunk this past year.... I did make the traditional acceptance speach. And as for rules, consult the DoD FAQ for what the rules are for all DoD events....
