Sorry if I missed it, I know it was posted the dates were set in stone. What might they be, As a single dad as much notice as possible would be nice. Also is KC winning the vote. Lets hope. Robert

Hey Bertro

We set the weekend for Aug 15-17.

I am staying out of the voting, because August is going to be a very busy month for Lorrie and I, so chances are we will finally miss one. Given that, it wouldn't be fair to cast a vote. Hope you all have a good time.

My only serious idea is that you all come up with an idea.

Rally needs a name...? And who is guest hosting? Laura just had one, Ralph has one in July, Lou is taking a break, variety is a good thing, yes?

Hi Carol!
The avatar is of my favorite "happy" place - the Teton Mountain Range at Grand Teton National Park. No bug damage, thankfully -- we're just determined to grow more than moss in our backyard!!

Beautiful picture Renee with the snowcapped mountain range and wonderful lighting and water reflection. Have you got it posted larger? Can I see? Hey let's rally at your happy place.

All you lucky ducks going to Bozeman, will have a treat seeing that area.

Hi guys, thought it was about time I posted, I am on everyday during my lunch half-hour. As you know from Renee's posts we have been busy with yard work, work to Felix has taken a back seat so far this year, except for our trip to Kentucky that forced me to finish the new gas lines. I also have a furnace to install as soon as I get the time.

Not going to be much help with the voting, I do not care where the rally will be held. We've been to Walnut Hills but not KC, I like to go different places at least once and for me the Ben Franklin store is no better than the Wal-Mart clearance isles. I'll be happy were ever we go, just glad the dates are set because now I can go and be Camp Host at Road America three times this year, so glad they pay for my fuel. Any way can not wait till Thursday when the results are posted and we can fill this thread with more meaningless crap just to raise the post count

My computer just told me it's 1 o'clock, end of lunch (I have a MAC Pro that talks to me)

Grace and I will try to make it to either campground. We don't have a preference, though we have never been to KC. The only thing that scares me a little is the condition of the road. I don,t want to sound like a prima dona, but if I don't have to take the blue noodles off roading I'd rather not. Just replaced steering axle tires at $525 each.

Well, folks it is time to tally the votes for our weekend rendevous that we refer to as the Metro Detroit Rally.

Hold on to your hats, I will tally the votes and be right back with the result.

drag'nwagon · 05-14-2008, 08:10 PM

DON'T forget the dates for this Rally are August 15th thru the 17th.

And the Winner is.....????!!!!!

drag'nwagon · 05-14-2008, 08:11 PM

Hey Look I made it to Rivet Master.

wheel interested · 05-14-2008, 08:18 PM

Oh yes Master.

Do tell the winner is... Drum roll.....

(Congrats on becoming rivet master!!!)

drag'nwagon · 05-14-2008, 08:23 PM

It was a very close vote this year. But the people have spoken, and the "general concensus" is.....

KC Campground in Milan Michigan

So, I hope that all of you have great and safe travels between now and Rally time, and that all of you can make it again this year! I also encourage any newbies out there to attend this one especially if it is your first. Don't forget that this is a Buddy rally and that ALL are welcome to come whether your camping unit comes with wheels or not.

bfred · 05-14-2008, 08:28 PM

The first trailer in give me a call. If you did not pop any rivets, we are on our way. If the blue noodles blows a tire, somebody is going to be p*ssed.
