Get ready
for Travstock 2004 in Indiana
June 13-18, 2004
A team of Travstock veterans has been
working for months to find just the right place that would appeal to
everyone. Well, we found it! Plus, we've changed Travstock to a
"weekday" event and added another day of activities. Travstock
will be a Sunday evening through Thursday event. This also allows
two days on the weekend before, and three days on the weekend after, as travel
time.

How we came to pick the
place...........................

The Red Pushpins represent the home location
of each myTravco.com member.
The Yellow Circle represents a 500 mile radius from our Travstock 2004
location. As you can see,
we have chosen this location specifically because of its proximity to a large
portion of our membership.
Please look over these 5 items:
1. I
need your Travstock deposit of $65 by February 28th: That's right, we have
to move fast to plan for this event. This deposit pays your myTravco.com
rally fees and first night's stay.
Afterward, you will be responsible to pay your additional nights
at the camp site.
