We're experiencing computer malfunctions at home so I have not been able to follow airforums closely in recent days. I'm pleased to see some activity on this thread. Danielle and I are really looking forward to this rally.

Lucius,

Just FYI, I have rec'd your registration. I'll be sending out "formal" notices to everyone soon that has registered.

I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone! I think we have 4 or 5 states represented so far!

Nice to see that some folks are actually making both 50th anniversary spirit rally events. It would be really cool to see Pee Wee and Sugarfoot leading a caravan between the two events.

Who knows? There are always possibilities.

I can't wait to read about this rally and see the photos on your blog, Sugarfoot. You have a following.

Minnie's Mate, I'm flattered.

Guess I need to get serious about that Verizon broadband card for the road.

I've submitted my vacation request for this rally. If all goes as planned we should arrive at The Wilds mid-day on Friday.

Check list:
Waste tanks empty
Fresh water full
Batteries charged
Propane filled
other?

I'm almost counting the days until this rally. Can you tell I'm excited?

We're going camping this weekend (July 4th) with throngs of people at High Falls State Park in GA (just north of Macon). We may not have a chance to go on another trip until the Cape(town) Girideau to Cairo rally comes up in September and then the following weekend for The Wilds.

I've gotta figure out something for August.

Looking forward to The Wilds in September.

I'm with you! I'm hoping that this rally will be the "highlight" of my Airstream year.

I've got some nice additions in the works to be announced soon.

soldiermedic · 07-02-2009, 08:01 AM

There is a chance I may tag along on this rally. I won't have my Airstream, but I am working on a few things that may work out for attending.

Looks like we'll take half the Cape to Cairo rally over to Ohio.

Hey all:

Thought maybe I'd drop a line here to say that I'll be borrowing and bringing-along a Honda 2000 portable generator. It's one of the fancy, quiet idle up/down etc etc etc ones. NO, my plan is NOT to run it constantly. However, I do not know how long my one AGM battery will last (this will be our first true boondocking experiment) so I wanted some assurance that if the battery goes dead, I can recharge. So, if anyone else is in the same boat as me or had concerns about running out of battery, you're welcome to the generator to recharge as necessary.

Thank you Bob. We did have fun at the Perry International didn't we! The Wilds is sure to be fun for a lot of reasons. And... yes, I'll be sure to have plenty (and a variety) of beer on hand. I'll leave the wine and spirits to somebody with more experience in those departments.

This will be our first rally that requires boondocking. We've done some pseudo-boondocking where we see how long we can go on battery power knowing that electricity is available if needed. The generator offer may come in very handy.

Just wanted to publicly thank Steve for arranging PeeWee's flights.

I had the pleasure of caravanning across Ohio with PeeWee prior to the International. I can honestly tell you that if you have an Airstream, you should meet this guy.

On top of knowing and living the history, he is truly a great guy. I'm really looking forward to spending the weekend with him. He is one of those guys that within five minutes, you feel like you have been friends for years.

Don't miss the opprotunity to attend one or both of the Capetown to Cario events.

DanB · 07-07-2009, 12:17 PM

OK, now with some fun stuff.....

In order of registration, I'm assigning countries that participants will represent.

So first in line is...............

Sugerfoot! Dacia is in charge of South Africa (capetown)

I was considering having people prepare a native dish for the potluck! I'm thinking of providing a flag for the trailer instead!
