Ooops for some reason I missed this one - thanks Richard.

I need to know quick - I'm calling the Balloon Folks today and giving them our final numbers - looks like 22 units - one more than last year.

Ken when you get settled could you list those that are attending and where from so we can start planning whether to have a caravan from CA with pickup points in AZ and NM like last year?

Don - will do - I'm out of town at the moment - I'll send you a list when I get back - if I forget, let me know....

Brad - cool! You are in I'll assume you will deposit a check when I make the BIG deposit for all these checks I'm holding.

I just made our reservation at the Grants, NM KOA for Thursday night. We had eight Airstreams stay there last year and the place was very nice. BTW, they do home cooked meals and will even deliver them to your trailer. Grants is about 1 hour west of Albuquerque and a perfect place to spend the night before we meet to enter the rally. Don't plan on making last minute reservations anywhere near this area, every RV park will booked solid as the Fiesta nears. Last year there was a line of RVs leaving the campground that were turned away when we arrived. Book early!

Last year we had a group caravan from the West coast. We joined the group in Flagstaff. Let's do it again!

Marge and I have made reservations at Grants for the 2nd of October. They guessed that we were Airstreamers and have us grouped together. Sounds like fun.

I talked to the balloon folks - they have extended our deadline for reservations till 4/1 - so we have a little more time.

Max number of spots left is 6 - that would bring us to the 30 units that I have reserved.

Last year we got 21 units to show up at the grounds all at once - and we made it look easy - so will try for 30 this year.

I don't see any problem with 30. It will just be a longer silver snake traveling down the interstate headed for a great time.

Ken - Are you going to make arrangements with Camping World again? That worked out very well for us and they made a few bucks in last minute purchases from us as well.

Ken, is there any option for a couple of us to stay one or two days longer if we pay for the extra days.

Richard - thats the plan to meet at Camping World again - yes that did work well with the exception of the person who was leading us to the fiesta grounds was in the wrong lane to get on to I-25 - will fix that this year...

Don - Yes that should be ok, but you will need to let me know. Remember there is no elec so bring your generator.

Caryl - I don't think I have you on my list as attending - are you camping with us or just visiting....

The reason for the question is if you are camping with us, I want to make sure you have a spot - if are visiting - you are more than very welcome....

Hi ken,

We exchanged a couple of private e-mails last week--at least I hope that was you that I was communicating with. I did send a check to:

Four Corners Unit
C/O Ken Johansen
P.O. Box 1554
Tijeras, NM 87059

Let me know if you got it. Jerry and I do want to join the group.

Cheers,

Caryl

Wow - thats really weird - I just looked back at my PM's and I don't see you there - do you perhaps have another name?

Anyway, I have your check and you are good to go - if you could please PM me and let me know what your e-mail address is, I'll keep you posted as to plans as we make them.

So sorry for the mix up, but I've got you on my list now -

Ken J.

Yes and yes - I didn't know we had set up a sign up page - I've been keeping track of everyone off the forums since we have folks on and off the forums signed up.

We have a few more spaces left.

Ken,

Are you still taking people for the Balloon Rally? If so please let me know and I will have a check in the mail. Thank you. If not do you have a wait list?
