1. Name tags can be worn at anytime under any conditions. Or you may choose to leave them hidden in the secret compartment of your trailer.
2. Some may choose to have a hide-the-tag contest spin off, In this case I will not be judging the contest because I wish to remain married.
3. Size is limited to ones imagination. You may use any standard name tag size or shape, Also trailing, flying, body art, etc. "Remember children are present". If you have had some type of surgery and are filled with metal parts, you may choose to use the magnetic refrigerator type material. Attaching with sharp objects are only recommended if you are waring garments.
4. Persons who choose to wander around for a while to see who attends these groups before wearing their name tag will not be penalized.
5. You may choose to have a flip type name tag, Computerized, electric activated, lighted, engraved, catchup or mustard designed on napkins. etc.
6. Remember creative is the "TAG".
7. Also if your tag is made of some hard material like plastic, metal, or glass . The Judge will not take any responsibility for injuries occurring at night.
8. Can I make a tag that says "NorCalBambi in 2008" and expect to curry judges favors? Is bribery allowed/encouraged?
Besides International recognition. A reward of $5 dollars will be given to someone.

This thing is starting to take on a life of its own. It keeps getting bigger. Looks like a bunch of nOObs from the PDX metro area are going to bum rush the event as well. Should be fun. Lots of new people. Welcome to all.

Thought I was having an area 33 moment......

**Janet H** · 08-20-2007, 09:46 PM

We have a site open on the G loop! Any takers?

Kapn Karrot · 08-21-2007, 05:15 PM

Hi all! This is my first post to the forum and I'm here to say that my wife and I are looking forward to attending this event. We are completely new to all this and we are jumping in feet first! It is good to see that there will be other noobs like us. We just got our trailer a few weeks ago and this will be our first rally. We grabbed site F14. I hope it works; sites on both sides of us were taken but not this one and at this late date. Low branches? Land mines? We'll see. We are looking forward to meeting everyone!

krikles · 08-21-2007, 05:19 PM

Hey neighbor - I'm F13 and also a newbie - looking forward to meeting you...

aeichen · 08-21-2007, 05:25 PM

Hi Kapn Karrot,

It's nice to know that my wife and I won't be alone as the only noobs in the F loop. We're in F-16 (neighbors to F-14 I think). This rally sounds like it is going to be a great time. Looking forward to meeting you there. Congrats on your new coach. You'll have to tell us the story behind you're acquisition of the Airstream.

HI Aeichen! Just confirmed the axle is original and not replaced as PO said

But some good forum guys are taking care of me and are coming out to measure the original so I can order a Dexter replacement. I'm hoping to get it ordered, received and put on before rally time! I'm sure it'll work out. Reasonably sure

I'm wondering if I should bring my dog - will you guys be bringing yours?

**Stefrobrts** · 08-21-2007, 05:46 PM

A couple years ago I put a new Dexter under my Caravel, then immediately headed on a trip to OK and back! It's been smoooooth sailing ever since!

We're usually a pretty dog-friendly group. Bring them along if they're well behaved. I'm bringing ours

krikles · 08-21-2007, 05:55 PM

Stephanie - so glad you'll be bringing yours - I've been following her story in another thread and hoping for the best for you guys. She's a real trooper!

Koocheekoo · 08-21-2007, 06:11 PM

Hi!

This is the Kapn's wife - Lisa. I am very excited to meet all of you. Pity it is a month and a half away.

I've enjoyed this thread so far and will be thinking of food ideas to contribute to the party. I am happy to help out in any way. Now, to come up with something for the name tag contest...

See all of you soon! Anyone else traveling from Eugene/Springfield?

Cheers,
~Lisa

Is this a forums record 60 trailers?Thats incredable. With 1 1/2 months to go, lets fill the campground with silver beauties.

CaddyGrn · 08-21-2007, 08:58 PM

Hello to all the new folks who have posted recently! We have a lot of brave new souls coming for the first time! Couldn't have chosen a better rally to try for the first time! Remember, we will all be there rain or shine! (Last year it snowed on us on the way home...)

Mrs. NorCal Bambi (traveling in S Tardis)

Janets Husband · 08-21-2007, 09:38 PM

OK folks

We have had 2 cancellations. Sites G12 and G23 are now available. Please PM Janet if you would like one.

I know that there are many fascinating stories of Airstream acquisition.

Adventures which led to other adventures.

Stories of doggedly bringing these silver beauties back from the grave with copious amounts of pure elbow-grease, sacrifice, and love.

There are many of these wonderful stories and I always enjoy reading them.

But mine is not one of them.

I just went down to George Sutton and bought the thing.
Since I live in Eugene, it was at least a short trip.
I spent a lot of money doing it.
But I am still glad that I did.

Lest you think that I am completely boring, I do wish to assert that I probably still have some interesting stories to tell (one or two).

2airishuman · 08-21-2007, 11:47 PM

not 2 worry 'karrot...

this rally is an ecumenical all-luminum assembly...

so we join together in basher harmony 2 make fun of...

the new ones and the old ones...

the finished ones and the over done ones...

the shiny ones and the dull ones

the smooth ones and the lumpy ones...

the short ones and the long ones...

the loose ones and the tight ones...

the flat ones and the over inflated ones...

those that are draggin and those that are braggin...

of course we also make fun of the trailers...

just don't make fun of the raccoons...

without reinforcements.

from the university of california guidelines on raccoon management...

making fun of or insulting raccoons...
A variety of materials, gadgets, and devices designed to make fun of. or insult raccoons and other wildlife are on the market. These include flashing lights, sound-producing devices, and water-squirting units, all of which can be activated by silly humans. in addition mace, radios, scarecrows, and flags and windmills that spin or flutter in the wind and pink flamingos have been used. Unfortunately, none of these are very effective and, at best, may only serve to tick them off, recruit nearby raccoons, or make human eyes water. after a while the raccoons seem to ignore all insults, having learned that they present no real threat.

cheers

I am also a newbie in the F loop, and I will be camping with my two boys for the first time (without their mother, that is). It will be interesting to see how it goes. I used the camper for the first time two nights ago, and things went great. I'm hoping for another good trip next week, and then I'll have to wait for the end of September. Looking forward to it.

Lisa,

You'll have a good time at the rally. BB II was our first rally 2 years ago. We are also in Eugene and have a 2004 19' CCD.

I have several concerts that week with the Eugene Symphony, so we may come out Saturday just to visit!
