TCT’s 8th Annual Shadow Of The Bear Rally
Orchard Beach State Park, Manistee, Michigan
September 19 to 22, 2024

We are very excited for TCT’s 8th Annual Shadow Of The Bear Rally at beautiful Orchard Beach State Park in Manistee, Michigan.  Last year was wonderful!  The weather was Pure Michigan Autumn perfect!  Orchard Beach is a wonderful state park and perfect to be the home of Shadow Of The Bear.  The campground is located on the top of a sand dune; many of our campsites have a view of Lake Michigan. We sit at our campsites enjoying each other’s company, we watch the eagles soar while riding on the thermals over the lake.  It is so cool!  We enjoy taking our meals in the moved and refreshed Pavilion.  The size of the Pavilion will accommodate all of us – as many of us as are in attendance can enjoy our meals together. 

TCT’s Shadow Of The Bear is a unique rally.  Because the local area is so beautiful, our agenda allows for lots of “touristing” time. Orchard Beach State Park is a beautiful destination on its own for a vacation.  There are wineries & craft breweries nearby, cute small towns to visit, and beauty all around.  Our agenda is simple.  We gather together for breakfast and share our plans for the day.  Most of the day is free for what we call “touristing.”  We come back together for dinner and share our adventures of the day.  Each evening we gather round campfires.  Perfect Fall camping in one of the most beautiful parts of Michigan.

A couple housekeeping reminders: 
1)  To reserve a site: log into your account in the State’s reservation system https://midnrreservations.com/ and use the Group Hold function.

The Group Hold Code is:  Shadow2024
The hold is for sites in the “A-H, 28-77, 108-136, Cabins” section of the campground map.

The group hold will remain in place until April 16, 2024.  The open sites will be available to the public.

The campsites at Orchard Beach are large and feel spread out.  Last year, we discussed getting our group closer together.  We thought clustering around the Hostess/Host site would be best.  Please reserve your site as near to the host site #120 as possible.

TCT’s Shadow Of The Bear is September 19 to 22.  You are invited to come early and stay late.  See you there!!!!!

2)  Rally fee:  $45:  
you can pay by PayPal. Our PayPal user name is ContactUs@BrookRode.com  

You may also send a check.  If you use the USPS, please mail the check sooner rather than later. 

Address is:  Rebecca Shrode, 19019 Waite Blvd. South Bend, IN  46637. 

Please note:  rally fees are due before the event happens because most of the expenses for the rally happen before the gathering begins.

The first 7 Shadow Of The Bear rallies were so much fun.  We relaxed, made new friends, grew existing friendships, enjoyed lively conversation, and generally had a really good time.  We are looking forward to the 8th Annual TCT Shadow Of The Bear Rally being the best yet!

Safe travels & happy camping!
