Airstreams in The Wilds

[loudruff]

Parker, Nice shirt! He looks very dapper in that "wilds" tee shirt!
Hope you will all have lots of fun down there. Wish we were able to join you!

Yes, I am armed and hunting for mountain oysters!

As for the Sunset Tour, it sounds like fun, but is probably too pricey for us.

If exotic cuisine is not a requirement, we are "in". Guess I should go officially sign up.

And we might just take in the Sunset Safari after all (but need to talk that one over a little more).

I hate to go back and read the whole thread. When can we arrive? Thursday evening? Friday morning? Friday afternoon?

When is the pot luck (I assume not Saturday evening)?

And are those shirts I see able to be purchased?

Thanks.

All the endowed swine are running for the hills now, squeeling as they go. I've heard mountain oysters are standard fare here in the south.

Glad you folks can join us! No exotic dish required. In fact, I think Dan said in an earlier post, to heck with exotic food assignments. Some of us are just poking around to see if we really could do some authentic dishes.

I don't remember where, but I think it was mentioned that a Thursday arrival would be possible. Check with DanB.

I really don't remember which night is potluck, but Friday stands to reason.

Tee's are at Airstream Camping

Pee Wee - you are a fine looking gentleman all decked out in your Airsteams in The Wilds shirt. But, Parker has the cute lady killer factor all over you partner....

[Shacksman]

Dan, Dacia, Pee Wee and all, we got clearance to join you on this rally. We'll be bring the newly renovated 60 Ambassador. Looking forward to seeing Mr. Wee for the 3rd time this year. Dacia we may have some good ideas you can use on the soverign.
Dan we were with you on the WDCU trip to Madison, with the 67 Safari. Will send in money asap.
Polishing as fast as I can.

It will be so good to see you two again! I was afraid I'd have to wait until next year's CBR. Can't wait to see the Ambassador.

Just a few weeks away. We're excited about this rally. I printed out the portion of the road maps we need to travel from GA to OH and we're beginning to accumulate (pack?) for this rally as well as the Cape (town) Giradeau (MO) to Cairo (IL) rally the weekend prior to The Wilds.

We've come across another special dish from Southern Rhodesia - it's so unusual that only native-born people know about it. We're keeping it a secret for now. You all will be the guinea pigs (OOPS! I hope I didn't give anything away...)

Just kidding about all that guinea pig stuff. You didn't really think...

OK Folks,

First off, I'd like to provide an apology. I was on vacation last week, and my work load and several personal issues prevented me from keeping up with things! I apologize for being untimely.

I'll be reviewing this thread and will try to answer some quuestions.

- First off: The food and exotic dishes are completely optional. It is only intended for fun, so please don't get stressed out about it.

- I will be continuing the country assingments! Again, I'm sorry I'm late!

- I will be arriving Thursday night LATE (ask anybody that knows me....) Please realize the wilds will be closed until Saturday.

- Please be aware that if you are on the fence about coming, please fall on the "yes" side. Without giving away any surprises, if you are a history buff or a Airstream buff, you will want to be here. Thats all I can say.

- The Monday morning following the rally, you will wish you were there. fair warning.

More answers & info coming soon.

... sorry, once last thing. Those shirts rock!

[66Overlander]

Dan,
I emailed you over a week ago (probably after you left on vacation) indicating that Lorrie and I were a "yes" to attend, but haven't heard back yet. How/when do we pay? And when is the cutoff for the Sunset Safari? I ask because we'll probably sign up after all. When can we arrive at the Wilds and when do we need to depart?

I ask, because we are trying to plan some other stops into our trip either before or after "The Wilds".

Thanks in advance!

We are looking forward to the adventure!

[66Overlander]

P.S. And When is the Pot Luck? Friday evening?

Thanks.

The pot luck will probably be scheduled for Saturday Lunch.

[Sugarfoot]

What's the word again on camping Thursday? For some reason I thought several were do so, but I can't find it in the thread.

I finally fanagled getting Monday the 21st off so I don't have to blow out there on Saturday. Life is good!
