That sounds like it will be a very good and enlightening trip.

Brad, Ron (PizzaChop) and I got together and tried out some musical arrangements (sound reinforcement ideas) as well as some musical arrangements (songs).

Ron thinks that maybe a half-dozen songs will drive away the crowd after the Pot-luck Saturday evening. I am not sure I can stop playing that quickly. He also wants to have more time socially, and family-wise.

We are curious about the BASS player for Friday evening that Alan was talking about (since Ron will NOT be there Friday). Will that same bass player be available Saturday? Ron is seriously thinking about not bringing his bass, because he wants to play more guitar, especially while he is singing (and he heard my bass playing).

Since Mario (ColdEspresso) will not be there, it looks like musically, Saturday will be mostly the three of us (Brad on drums, and Ron and I on guitar & vocals). I am hoping that Ron's daughter has the violin too. We have some rythym instruments that the crowd can also utilize to participate, but we could use another bass/guitar player (or keyboards). Any interest?

And by the way, I want to say a big thank-you to Ron for the great pizza while I was visiting. Better, fresher ingredients really do make better pizza! Danielsville GA has been blessed for 14 years now.

It looks like I will be attending my first rally and would like to contribute to the give away but not sure what to bring? I can also bring something for the pot luck but please do not ask that it be cooked as that would limit my invitation for a return to any rally (I can do Pop Tarts).


My site is A44 which appears to be in another area, will that be a problem? I will also bring the World Traveler so that I might learn more about it from all the experts.

[kposey]

Hey Bobwire, I remember you! You were riding a bike the last time we talked! Anyway, glad you will be joining us for the rally. You will meet some great folks and learn a lot at the same time. Desidou had to cancel last week, so his spot (F5) may still be open. You might want to PM him as I think he was going to hold on to it for a while in case someone wanted to move.

As for the pot luck, chips and dips as well as softdrinks are always good. No cooking there either.

Looking forward to actually meeting you next week!

[bobwire]

Likewise Kathy, I will bring something just not sure what!?!? Any tips on what else I should bring or not.

I have been working on our Excella as weather permits. It is very nice inside and will be fun to stay in.
. ....But ....the big monster blue stripe has been attacked by many chemicals and yet it is still hanging on!!
Just a warning- to all who view this trailer, look at your own risk! The combination of colors, aluminum, stripper residue and more can be harmful to your vision!

Hopefully at least a portion of it will be harmless.

Hey folks,

Due to several unfortunate circumstances I am now unable to attend this years Springstream in Hiawassee. I am currently confirmed for site D-13, so it will be availible as soon as I can contact the office staff. I'm sorry that I am going to miss this rally, but will look forward to future ones.

On Air

[empresley]

Terry,
Sorry you can’t be there. We always hate to lose a participant.

There is always the fall event and the CanOpener in Jan. is a shorter drive from S. AL.

ps
Hopefully the rain this weekend will continue to help the lake level.

[ALANSD]

I am sorry too...we seem to be shrinking this time around....but so it goes. Hope all is well with those that cannot make it. We will enjoy it for you and share photos afterwards.

On an up note, the lake is looking full, and the weather is forcast to be terrific...

looks like maybe 25 or so trailers ??

[klattu]

Y'all that can see the lake...how about some photos.
Us Feathercrafters would like to see.

We have to make a stop on the way to Springstream so we are leaving Monday.

Almost have all of the AS washed-just have to do the back, but right now it is too hot and sunny so will do it later tonight or early tomorrow.

Haven't decided what we will bring to the activities other than plactic cups for sodas and wine. And, some wine . We have only gotten our oven to work once, so when we leave GA, we are going to JC and having the oven looked at and one other little problem. Anyway, there is a nice market in Hiawassi so will pick up what someone says is missing.

I am having a discussion on another forum about washing the AS. Didn't AS change from putting on a clear coat on to embeding the protection in the aluminum as it is manufactured? If so, what year did they make the change?

Looking forward to seeing and remeeting (is that a word) or meeting everyone.

[BigAl]

Pat,
My understanding is that the newer Airstreams are assembled with aluminum panels that are precoated with clearcoat at the Alcoa plant. That means that the rivets are not coated.
I would treat the trailer as though it is clearcoated. Wash with lots of water till all abrasive dirt is flushed off and then wax.

We are leaving on Tuesday for Georgia and hope to arrive on Thursday. Going to take a scenic drive down. Maybe do a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Al

[starflyte1]

Al, Thanks for the info about the aluminum. You have quite a drive ahead of you. Looking forward to Thursday!

[klattu]

BigAl...
The first part of Blue Ridge is called Skyline Drive and most consider it the same, as we do.
I recommend it for a sample section based on the amount of bears we have seen in the mornings driving along.
All of BRP is great, the last 50+/- miles has lots of tunnels and ends in the mountians at Cherokee, NC

[ALANSD]

that is one of my favorite drives. We did part of it in our Classic 280 MOhO and had a great drive.
I hear the lake is full! Plus its been raining here for 24 hours now.
Sun in Bonita Springs huh.
Made a new dinette table for the trailer and put it in today, now if I could get some weather to let me work on the outside some more..maybe tomorrow.

Unfortunately, my TV sheared it's driveshaft joint/rear axle joint this morning at 6am. We'll see if my wrenching skills are up to the task this week. I need to fix the root cause as well, which is a driveline vibrtation. Thinking either the transmission mount, motor mounts, or both.

Fortunately, I was able to roll downhill from the stoplight into an empty bank parking lot. If I had been on an incline, I'd've been in deep do.
