My trusty, coveted, 1971 Overlander headed off to other campgrounds and roads without me yesterday.
Thats right the ol' girl is someone elses pride and joy now.
I hope that the new owners have half as much fun as we did with the Overlander.
Regrettfully, we will not be able to attend the rally at Columbia. We are feverishly restoring the 1979 Sovereign in hopes of making it to the Joint Rally in March at the KOA in Mount Pleasant SC.
Hope you guys have fun!
Ken and Crissy

Joint Rally next weekend with the SCCU and the ENCU in MT Pleasant South Carolina. (March 6 - 9)
Make reservations early. You can do so at www.KOA.com tell them you are with the Airstream rally.
Lots of fun and food at this months rally, I have heard rumor that a the famous Frogmore stew is in order for Saturday night.
For those of you wondering what Frogmore Stew is.........
Long ago during the plantation days, way down south, outside of Beaufort SC, a small village named Frogmore became famous for its local fare consisting of shrimp, new potatoes, corn, onions, and smoked sausage was boiled together with some spices and Low(country) and behold... Frogmore stew. A true lowcountry tradition.
Now I dont expect you yankees to understand this concoction but if you ever get your tastebuds onto some of this stew, you just may head south to stay.
I have tried of Brunswick stew, it is good stuff but that is not even close to the splendor of Frogmore stew.
Come join us lakeside at the KOA for some good ol' WBCCI family fun. There even going to be two nights of fast paced horse racing. Bring your whip, beanie and riding boots.
I am bringing my new project.......1979 Sovereign, tours for everyone

I heartily approve of Frogmore Stew & not being a native of S.C I had to learn to eat in a totally different way. However, I'm a fast learner so in no time at all I was not only eating it--I was cooking it ---& before long I was even passing along the recipe! Now--I've heard there are certain members in SCCU (who shall remain unnamed) who refuse to even eat it unles it is more properly refered to as Beaufort Stew! One thing I am sure of is that whatever you call it David, Carolyn, Fim & Debbie know how to cook it! So come prepared to enjoy yourselves.
Who is going to the SC State Rally at Palmetto Cove?
We are going. This will be our Anniversary with the WBCCI and already we are on our third AS. Do I have the Disease??????
All of you WBCCI folks gather up your pumpkins and your brooms and come on out for a week of fun filled halloween spooks and goblins in the high country of South Carolina. The Campground is located at the base of Table Rock and Ceasars Head. A nice quiet Airstream only CG.
Candy, costumes, games, entertainment and meals for everyone.
See you there,
Boo!

Have you heard?
The WBCCI South Carolina State Rally is scheduled for October 2004 right outside of Myrtle Beach SC.
I have spoken with the sponsor of the Rally and I gotta tell ya, this rally will set a new standard for all rallies within the WBCCI.
Even the advertised 'Homecoming Rally" at Jackson Center could learn a thing or two from this rally.
This rally is being held at a brand new campground outfitted with jacuzzi's on site, lakeshore sites, full hookups.
And I dont know where to begin telling you of the entertainment and events the sponsor has lined up.
I have been told that the meals will all be catered professionally, down to the breakfast. Not just your average pancake breakfast but a full blown cooked to order omelet with chef's doing the preparation, linens on the tables and maybe even candles.
There will be professional entertainment for all ages, sponsors from Airstream dealerships, Tow vehicle dealerships, RV Suppliers, How to seminars by Home Depot and others. Airstream Decorating contest, Costume contest, a Halloween extravaganza. Live bands, A profesional DJ, Dancing, Shopping trips with shuttle to and from, Golf outings, Tours, and so much more to do.
The sponsor told me that he planned to leave an everlasting impression on the WBCCI. He furthermore told me that he intends for every attendee to receive a gift of some form or fashion.
Did I mention that Myrtle Beach is within 20 minutes from the capmground? If you know anything about Myrtle Beach then you are aware of the many things to do and see.
I will tell you this, as I listened to the sponsor speak about the Rally, found myself in awe of the fortitude that this individual conveyed. (He is also a member of this forum).
I suspect that this event will definitely sell out so you better get in quick. Last I checked they already had presold half of the tickets.
This event is open to any and all WBCCI members so if you are not a member, you better get joined up before October 2004.
Come one come all!
Rally on!

I tried the link you provided but, it took me to a "web hosting" site.
What's the total package cost?
Since I'm only up the creek from you in Va...and, since Oct is a great time to get away..
Not only are we hosting the greatest State Rally of all,
We are also hosting the Region 3 Rally for 2004.
Right here in Beautiful Historic Charleston SC.
The Region 3 Rally will be held in May 2004.
And you folks thought that the WBCCI was lacking
I guess the word is getting around, WBCCI in the South east RUUUUULES!
Can't help but think that the WBCCI is getting hip. So all of you nay sayers, Hah! I told you so
Get your tickets soon cause you know the WBCCI gang will be lined up and ready to party in Charleston SC.
