Can Opener '08 Rally

[SilverCabin]

My GPS software, Garmin's MapSource, says 502 miles and 8:29:15 driving time. I have it set at 63mph for Interstate highways. Your speed may be different. The suggested route is up I-75 to I-10, then west to US-331, then south to the park. There are more scenic routes that would let you see more of old Florida, but that would take longer.

Thanks Randy for the info... will check with hubby about the trip...

We are signed on the the second annual with great anticipation. I think our site will be #118. Looking forward to seeing friends made last year and new friends to meet this year. I hope we'll be having the name tags--hand made ones at a station would be fine, but with so many streamers, it sure does help. One request: Dacia, did you make that divine bread pudding with JD sauce? Please, please make it again! All the seafood dishes are great. We'll be glad to join in on a team to made/contribute ingredients or come up with something on our own. If seafood is wanted, just pm us. I'd vote for a return to the Red Bar(???) for a group dinner out--maybe Fri nite? . Is anyone else interested? January can't come soon enough! ~G

Thanks Klattu for the recognition of my Key Lime Pies. They are my favorite and my specialty. Key Lime Pie is also the only pastry/baked good that I know how to make. I will bring a couple for this rally and will print out the recipe for any one who'd like a copy.

Swampbillies, we will have our 7 year old and our 10 year old sons with us. They had a great time last year with the other kids that came. I had touched base with Rich Lhur a couple of months ago and he said he was planning on coming at that time, but I think they will be winding down their full-timing by then so they may or may not be able to attend. If they do, they have a sweet daughter that is about 7 or 8.

We are going back to Top Sail Hill for Labor Day and I can't wait for either this rally or Labor Day Weekend...and that's just 2 days away!

Look forward to seeing some of you guys at the Falluminum and the rest at the Can Opener.

Ok...I will do the name badges and stuff this year.I have a lot of left over name badge holders and if anyone would like to use there old ones that is fine by me also.I will just print out a new design for you to put in the holder.What should the new design look like for this or should we make a new one?

I assume the red bar is a local restaurant....we will be coming in on mon or tue so a dinner out sounds great to us....keep me informed

May I offer a suggestion that will help me find the bread pudding. Could each individual "Title" their dish and maybe even offer receipes.

All to often I have been to a pot luck and could not go back and find the contributer.

At this stage in life I am looking to make it easy.

[rebel beck]

This is just killing me, but we can't make it. You see we opened our Music store in April and we are booked solid for 2008 going to supplier shows. My husband just will not budge on taking a few more days off. In a way I understand we have to make this business work but the greedy side comes out and wants to go play with the Airstream friends.

I will miss the Red Bar, the key lime pies, and the bread pudding with JD sauce. Herb I wanted to show the trailer off sooooo bad since you started the polish work.

For all the newbie's you will have a blast!!!!!

Devoman, with my request, I surely did not intend to put off the work of the name tags stuff on you this year. You took on so much last year. How can you spread some of the work around this year? I know your tags were great, but took time before and during the rally for you to do. We really can make handmade ones if we have supplies at a central site (I'd offer ours, set up outdoors), or maybe someone else is coming who is into graphics who would volunteer to make them? I'll offer us to make simple print outs of the final map with id's of who is in which site if someone will update the map to the day we take off, probably New Years Day or Jan 2--just off the computer, like in post 64? ~G

[maxandgeorgia]

Becky, I am so sorry you can't come play at the second Can Opener, and we wanted to see the sparkle and shine on your polished baby after all your work. However, reality does kick us in the head once in a while, and your family business has to come first. . .BUT, if you decide you can sneak away for a couple days, we could swing by and you could caravan on down and back with us, protection of a sort while on the road. Just an offer of a little temptation! ~G

[thecatsandi]

I agree. I like the idea of name tags. maps are not necessary. Whe can ask or provide our own.
Even purchased pre-made tags where we fill in our username and site would be just fine. I can get them while I am in Boise if necessary.
I still have mine from last January.
