Thanks Mike, we are looking forward to some cool weather camping. Got the bugs worked out of the furnace a couple weeks ago so that will be a good time to put it to some use. Sitting around the camp fire on a nice cool night sounds wonderful also.

Can't make it to this fall Octoberfest rally. Sounds like another fun one. See you all in the spring 2015. Auf Weidersehen!

I checked out the sites that have been picked out at Lowden for our Rally.
Looks like 10 sites have been reserved around the loop.
Here's the reserved sites and who we have so far:
33 ?
35 Cale, let's play
36 Bruce
38 Ken, knunut
39 Mike and SO's, Airtandem
44 Tom and Sue, Tom Nugler
47 Robert, Robert Claus
48 Bill and Penny, featherbedder
49 ?
50 Mike and Lynn, mayco
There is one “probable” coming out and 2 possibles who might join us for the weekend.
As we've found, you can never tell who's going to drop in.
I believe Sue said Dana has sauerkraut fermenting now. I'm going to see if I can pick up some fresh Knockwurst to add to the mix.
Looks like another Feast is taking shape,
Tom

We are in sight 037. Check in Friday and leaving on Monday some time. There is a good chance that the two teenagers will be staying home. We will see. If they do it will be a vacation for me.
Most likely we will bring something edible.

German potato salad
German chocolate cake
Red cabbage
Black Forest cake
Spatzle((noodles)
Sauerkraut
Chicken schnitzel
Knock wurst
Strudel
Spanferkle(pork roast and apple sauce
These are just ideas and if you desire any of these please post which one you will be bringing any other food ideas welcome as well as German beverages.

Had a fun weekend with my tow vehicle....
Brought home the old Airstream to go camping with some "non" Airstream friends this coming weekend. Truck threw the belt on the way home. Over heated bad. The oldest and I managed to get the belt back on. Made it home, but the truck was running very warm, like 210......
Well after throwing parts at it we are back in business!! New thermostat, fan clutch and belt tensioner. The truck is running cooler than before!!
Counting down the days till the rally!

Went on a road trip out to Lowden yesterday with the family. It is a nice camp ground. I like that the Dairy Queen is not far away. We may have some friends of ours joining us. They do not have an Airstream, but love to camp and cook. Looking forward to October.

The count down has started, 4 weeks till the Fall Rally. Looks to be another great one. Most of the sites in the circle have been taken, but still don't know who is in 33 and 49. Are they Airstreamers?
C U all there.

Just about 3 weeks out from our outing. Dana and I would like to take a head count in order to know how many brat and buns need to be bought.
Also please post what you will be bringing for our Saturday night Octoberfest.

I think Tom summed it up in post #35, but to clarify, we're bringing large, soft German pretzels and cucumber salad.
