Lynn and I got home Wed. afternoon. The wind today wasn't a problem but the over night temp at Casini got down to 39 degrees!!! Thankfully the little electric ceramic heater that I just bought kept the coach at 64 during the night. It was set on medium too. Lynn and I left this morning in front of Dan and Cam. Casini is now SOB Land.

I took a ton of photos at Casini but have not figgered out the Vista whatever on our new laptop that I had at Casini. All my photos are on the 'puter but have not been able to 'launch' them. I guess I need to give in and read the instructions

. BUT I can do it from our PC at home. Gotta take Lynn in tomorrow for eye surgery first though. So don't give up on this thread....I'll get the pictures on. What a great RALLY!
Neil.

Paul and I attended the first rally that Big Dee arranged, back in Oct 2004, to Laguna Seca Raceway campground....it was our first real trip with our (at the time) brand new 2004 30' Classic! I looked through my photos and dug into my long-term memory, and it seems like the people (and families) in attendance included: Big Dee, Coastalview, Tinsel Loaf, MikeB, Condoluminum, Hit'the'Road (who was still "looking" for his first Airstream), and us. I think we were able to seat everyone at 2-3 picnic tables for the potluck....including all the food! And, a total of 6 Airstreams....

What a comparison to the rally we just attended! It certainly has grown, and it has been wonderful to meet such a great group of people.

My thanks go out to Dan....

Cheers

Yeah, now I am on my home PC. I know how to work this one to upload pictures.

I have a lot of fotos so I will present them in categories pretty much in chronical order. The first few were taken the morning of the 10th. It had rained a couple of days and the first day of the rally the weather began to show improvement.

Michael David Winery again provided their fine selection of wines from Lodi. Tim and LL hosted this gathering the first evening of our great rally. Thank you.

This group of photos are from Sat. morning. The weather continues to be sunny but a cool breeze is evident. The Casini Ranch Rally participants are emerging from their comfortable silver cocoons and welcoming the fun that this day promises.

The next bunch-o-pics will be of the POT LUCK! a little later for I got to unload the trailer, scrub the car and otherwise enjoy a nice looking day.

Yeah, the weather this weekend would have been better.

Gonna get the next bunch-o-pics ready now.

THE event that a rally thrives upon...the POT LUCK. Another great showcase of NorCal ralliers wonderfull culinary talents. I do believe we could open a restaurant and call it 'THE RALLY POT LUCK'. What a feast! I was able to sit down and have as much as I could AND take these photos. The food and fellowship was so good that the cool temperature wasn't a distraction. There are more pictures to follow if this rally hasn't slipped too far into your past now. Has it been a whole week since??!!

wow Neil, These are some awsome shots. Keep the Rally Alive. Or I guess we could say "It's Alive"

FreshAir · 04-18-2009, 10:55 AM

After the 'FEAST' we had a some fun awards presented (I don't remember what...lke oldest/newest AS shortest and farthest travel) then a Happy Birthday to KATHY of Coastalview...then music, campfireS and very friendly chatter. I'm sensing a waning of interest as the rally memories fade into your happy past. That's OK. I will post more photos after these for when you wish to wander back to this thread.

Condoluminum · 04-18-2009, 11:45 AM

Though these photo's may not be elegant as Neil's, a few more memories of Casini.. Photo's of fog over river at sunrise, and "Not Dianne" getting eady for breakfast run to Guerneville...

We had a great time as usual, and look forward to continuing get-togethers with a great group of relaxed and happy campers...
