It was a pleasure meeting you as well! The Cadillac made for an interesting trip -- evidently, the pre-trip inspections and preparation paid-off as the only problem with the 33-year old car was the burned out alternator on the first day of the journey. The plan is to tow the Overlander to Madison next summer (only 500 miles) with the Cadillac.
The elk was posing specially for us. We observed him from about 100 yards (telescopic lense on camera) for nearly 15 minutes. I have a series of six photos of him as he opened his mouth and when played back-to-back in order as an animated gif -- it makes him look like he is either laughing or talking.

Hi, we actually only went to two Rallies this year; The first one was at San Clemente, Ca. State Beach. And the second one was the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque N.M. and this one is well worth five. Thus six. This is based on the time spent, fun factor, entertainment, great group of Streamer's and a Special Thanks to Ken J. and the famous F.C.U.

Right you are about that Robert! Too cool. Wish I was there. I'm loving the bonus pictures here. Great shots. Thank you. Everybody keep the pictures coming. I'm having a ball, or should I say a cow? No... you had the cow, Lucky duck.

Hey dig those crazy flamingos!!!!
Roger, we were so glad that you and Marylou got to join our crazy crew, and you even came back again. Roger's right Laura, your rallies rocked!
And Rog, Marylou was a doll to part with her special shirt. I love that shirt from you two. Thank you so much! It has such a touching sentiment...don't you all agree?

One. It was a FCU rally near Leadville, Colo. We enjoyed meeting other Airstreamers. It was our first rally and was informal like we prefer.
We'll try to find Forum rallies for 2009.

So far this year we've been to one Forums rally, Central Texas Rally and one HoTCU WBCCI rally. We have scheduled two more Forums rallies this year.
Texas Piney Woods Rally
Blanco, Texas Christmas Rally
Looks like we'll have four on the books at the close of the year.

Only one this year.
Hi, we only went to one Rally this year, and we are still here. This is the Nor-Cal Jackson Rancheria Rally. This is a really nice place, with all great Airstreamers here, and the only rules are, that there are no rules. [Unless having fun is a rule] About 40 + units here. There was a potluck with so much great food, that everyone here gained a few pounds. Well, maybe I'm the only one who will admit gaining some weight while here.
