So self employed doesn't me I don't have a mean boss. I still have a wife that likes the paycheck. Not to mention we are now paying for the kid in college. No worries I will be there if I have to park in the road. Looking forward to another great weekend.

Allison,

Will you please let Jonathan have a weekend off and you two come on out and we'll all play campers for a few days?

Us guys need a kitchen pass once in a while.

You shouldn't have to park in the road since Palmetto Cove has agreed to experiment once again with dry camping in an overflow area. In the early days when this once Airstream only park was started, that was the norm for the hardy souls who spent treasure, broke sweat and probably shed a little blood to build the park starting with a corn field.

Great point, Jake, thanks.

Friends,

be sure to take a look at the old pictures and newspaper clips posted on the wall behind the stage in the meeting hall. They tell the story of the Palmetto Cove and it's founding as an Airstream only park.

The pictures are priceless...big 'ole Buick's, Chrysler's, and Road Master station wagons as TV's.

Airstreams are still among the very best equipped for dry camping.

[sandlapper]

We have a lot of good stuff planned and will be posting details soon. Plus, everyone will receive a rally bag that will include all the info along with some other goodies.

A quick look ahead....

Many meals will be provided

Open mic night

Seminars

Flea Market/craft sale

Open House

Entertainment

Games and Pumpkin decorating for the kiddos

lots of paroozing

and of course a visit from Rita.

plus, the most fun you've had since the last time.

[stang2002]

please cancel Stang2002 will not be able to make trip. Have a great rally

[Chillpoints]

Looking forward to another wonderful rally.
Wondering if there may be anyone in attendance that is able to write an appraisal (for a fee of course) or has information on how to get one done. Trying to do the dance with insurance company again. They keep wanting to only insure for actual cash value based on NADA which is not the best.

Just thought I would ask.

Thanks for the note Stang, sorry you can't join us but maybe next time, we'll be back.

[Firedog1]

Regarding the flea market, I have a Parkit360 that I purchased and used once, then we put in a new driveway so I no longer need it, if anyone is interested i can bring with me. send me a PM.

Anything planned for Halloween, paint the A/S orange? My wife's most favorite day.

[Barretta2]

Really looking forward to my first Alumalina this Fall. No idea what to expect. Although I've tried to read all the relevant posts, I may have missed a few, so please forgive any redundancy.

1) Will there be any sort of "tutoring demo for newbies" on things like basic maintenance (like how DO you clean out the tanks? and: What do I really need to understand about how the converter works). Hate to admit that even after more than a year of ownership, there is SO MUCH I still don't understand.
2) In the random thoughts category....Might some attendee have a camera-mounted drone that could take some aerial pix of our gathering? I think it would be way cool to see all that shiny from above.
3) Are there suggestions on what to bring (foodstuffs, serving items, etc) to be able to contribute to any group food events?

Thanks!!
Barrett

[HowieE]

This is not official but if you walk by 12156, 34 fter, I will try and answer your questions.

Take a ride up to Ceasers Head park about 6 miles and you can take an overlook picture. Expect to enjoy good old fashion southern hospitality and eat and eat and eat some more.

[Phil and/or Sue]

A newbie, eh? Cleaning the tanks? A sponge in your hand reaching up through the dump valve might clean it. But maybe not. Last year (or maybe it was Spring), there was a "seminar" on taking care of the tanks. Maybe someone will do a similar talk this visit.

Phil

[HowieE]

Since attempting to clean the tanks is about like Pissing into the wind there is no reason for a seminar.

When was the last time you cleaned the sewer pipes at home?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfTd0Slt_cU

[sandlapper]

Yep, we will have seminars of interest to most folks. It is my favorite part of any rally. Wait.....food might come first.

Very likely our friend Chuck will be there again with his drone for the overhead shots. Look back several pages in the thread, you will see his drone shots as part of Florida55's movie.

We will furnish many meals, including our hot dog feast, the Possum bog, and of course the famous fish fry. With such a large crowd we will solicit help with some of it.

Experience shows that it is best not to post too many details too far in advance, it gets lost in the thread. BUT...rest assured we will be posting the nitty gritty very soon.

Keep an eye on the thread.....details are coming.

Just two weeks ago. Was getting slow drains and backups. Had the county come out and rotorooter the pipes. Roots from neighbors popcorn trees were clogging them up. Much better draining now.

[Native143]

I'm also another newbie Barrett. And I'll have lots of little questions too. Making my list! Really am looking forward to sharing with all the other folks.

[sandlapper]

.... so don't sweat it one bit. All the veterans were in your place once.

No better place to pick brains and take notes than at a rally and no better rally than Alumalina.

There is no gauntlet to pass through, test to take, no newbie initiations or special parking. Everyone is equal, and you will be among friends.

I can assure you that there will be plenty of help available, just speak up.

We will have seminars that will hopefully answer many questions.

Glad you're coming....you will like it.
