We are getting to the Bash on 7-3. See you there

Tom ,you might have company at the blue grass fest...

Great news!

Not that anyone participating in this thread needs the info, but the Bash 4 is now up on the TAC blog: The Airstreamers Club

[Frank's Trailer Works]

Okay folks, I am getting excited and I intend to bump this thread daily.
We still have room for more trailers. Hope more of you attend. We are happy with the current number, but more are always welcome to come.

[tkowalyk]

T -30 and counting!

Good to see someone else is excited!

[WineStream]

There's lots of us excited...last I read, around 20+ excited campers which by Bash averages means about 40 adults and 20 kids. The Bash is the next rally for our family so the kids are counting down. I just did the annual maintenance on the motorhome last weekend, so we should be good for a trouble-free trip to Slippery Rock and Cooper's Lake. We discovered last year that 2 boxes of wine is just not enough for 4 days at the Bash. So this year we're bringing three. We're doing some other vacationing just prior to the Bash, so I have all Wednesday (July 3) to get the moho ready and stocked. Then, July 4 we head to Cooper's Lake. If the kids get up at their usual time, that means we should be at Cooper's Lake shortly after lunchtime. I think we'll stop for lunch before arriving because I know the last thing I want to do after arriving into a group of friends is to have to worry about cooking. I want to park, fill a wine glass, and head around to say hello to everyone.

Hey Frank & Ace: Do you have a rough list of the days' events? I know Andrea will be asking me how many potlucks we need to be prepared for and the kids will want to know what's going on for them each day and night. I don't want to miss cake or BBQ, either!

Hey I can use my phone to post....Jason....throw in one more box for good measure. We are going to be making this another high mileage trip, we will be heading to Florida the weekend before to attend a SE regonal roller derby tourny. Gabbi may me alittle battered and bruised upon arival but she will be bringing a big rocket....cant wait to see ole friends and make new ones.

I know I have forgotten some things in that schedule. If you want to add something, just let us know...

[mistral blue]

I see that the Rocket Launch is scheduled for before the BBQ. My rocket, however, will not be ready until after Don C smokes his big butt. (Can I even say that on these forums?) I now have a specially made, 3XL, full Reflectix suit and one of Wally's pith helmets just for this occasion ... and the supply of liquid oxygen arrived last week.
Test flights are getting better but I'm quickly running out of grills.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Is it to late to join in for the rally? Vaction scheduled and no plans as of yet. Details on registration,reservations,rally fee. Have not read all the pages of the thread yet. Just got back from vacation and catching up on everything else.

There will be at least 2 of the Grendahl family lining up for that.

I have my fingers crossed that your tacos will show up again this year at a potluck, Frank.

I think you guys would like this rally, although your palace might need one of the electric sites

Shinim's cooking I'm sure would be very welcome at the potluck, too

I promise that my potluck contribution will be a taco stand....

[Frank's Trailer Works]

I made a major omission in the schedule...

Thur July 4... We are not serving hot dogs, we are serving RIPPARZ. What is a ripper? It's a Jersey thing and you will love it!


I also should have linked the BIG BUTLER FAIR. Unfortunately the bus demolition derby does not over lap our dates, but Rusted Root plays the 3rd. There is also horse pulls, tractor pulls, and pedal cart pulls during the rally dates. The BIG BUTLER FAIR is always a good time.

24 rocket kits ordered! Two different types! CHECK!

Medium motors, BIG BAD MOTORS! CHECK!
