Keep on keepin on...!

Jerry -

Firstly, a HUGE thanks to you for organizing the rally. 3 or 300, a rally it still is! I often think that the smaller groups allow for MUCH more interpersonal exchange, and that this broadens and deepens the attendees experiences of the event, in ways that words can seldom capture. Doing this right is why the organization continues

I think that the rally was likely a great event inspite of a 'low' turnout. Do the right thing here - continue to work this event for abour 3 or 4 years running..... by then the 'kink" will be managable..... who knows what tomorrow brings,,,,,,, but there better be a oppotunity

These rally events are for the primary purpose for showing how we did "This" and how we did - That" and how we do it. All of course, one on one!!!!!! Camping allows a terrific clasroom for that,

Seeing the sights had to be one of the BEST trip features - hope they get posted somwhere so they can be shown, at least! There certainly is enough to keep everyone busy , visiting, gathering, Happy Hour, Trailer Tour, Maintenance upgrades, There is the pot-luck!, and what about a new, whole host of other ideas that are still yet to be tried?

In my opinion, this AS a rally that can be build into one of the A list campouts with Four Corners Unit... Keep at it - They WILL COME!

Hey Axel

We missed you guys there. Plenty of room for your behemoth!

You bet we'll do it again next year. We had a great impromptu STEAK dinner the first evening provided by Pacerized, Charlie and his family. Our "official" pot luck on Sat. eve was spearheaded by Carol and Jerry. My goodness the food just kept on coming out of her airstream. Absolutely marvelous! Poached salmon pasta and more much more. You haven't lived until you've enjoyed Carol's hospitality.

Although I have been to Lizard Head a number of times, I have never stayed overnight. It is not to be missed.

Here are a couple of photos...

Lizard Head photos

Airstreamgypsy,
Thanks for getting some photos up so quickly. You captured the scenery very well, but the people were bending over, looking down, had their mouths full of food, etc.

Thanks for the good tip about the free dump and $.25 water fill up at the town park in Cortez.

We are boondocking one more night in NW NM on the way home. We have the fragrent smell of sagebrush all around and we are camped almost on the Continental Divide.

Sounds like you all had a great time! I’m sorry we couldn’t come. Our guests ended up leaving before the weekend, but we didn’t anticipate that they would, so we had the motorhome torn apart (we’re on a mission to reduce our carrying weight). “So near, and yet so far”. We live in Silverton. If anyone is in town, stop by and say “Hi”.

Ok, We weren't able to make it. Surely there are more photos?? Looks like a lovely area that I would like to see more of.

Only a Tech. class

Ralph,
Nope, no 10 meters. I am only a Tech. class. I use 2 meters & 70 cm alot. My ticket is also good for 6 meters but I don't have a transceiver for that band.

3 Airstreams, 7 mtn. bikes & one Lab.

Here is a view of our camp area on top of Lizard Head Pass. As you can see, there was plenty of elbow room. The black Lab is almost hidden in the shade. Click on image for a larger view.

Mtn. snow remnants

Doing a bit of 4 wheeling above the snow remnants. I was at about 11,000' where this picture was taken.

The fresh, cool mtn. air was a pleasant relief from the mid 90's temps back home.
