Can Opener '08 Rally

[SilverCabin]

We're still missing some folks from 2007: Moosetags, The Health Chic, Airstream Life. Anyone know their whereabouts?

[Minnie's Mate]

Rich L is not sure if he will be able to make it. His daughter may be starting a new brick-n-mortar school then and if she does, they won't make it. I'm sure Moosetags is in (he lives in the neighborhood). Others, I'm not sure.

That has to count for something.

You're right, I think is was about 1,400 miles.

We'll likely go on to the FL Keys as we did last year, so we'll be covering 3 different worlds.

The difference this year or shall I say next. No working on the Airstream like the last time.

I think you forgot to put Phil & Laura Gobie on the map for #159.

I think Devo has an email list from last year.

Perhaps a quick note to all to folks last year will get 'em signed up.

We also may have 2 or 3 more units coming from Long Island.

Sorry but I dont have the e-mails on the list.I do have the list of names though.As for Moosetags.I think he has already been setup for a while.The health chic I dont have an e-mail for.Rich L knows them very well and are great friends with them.I dont know for sure but If I remember correctly I think they travel alot like the Luhrs.I dont know for sure though.
It seems the original group is all together with maybe a few not coming.Also the ones that had things come up before the first one and had to cancel but are now coming this year and that is great.
It is going to be another great Rally.

I just got back from a ride in a former LIRR (Long Island RailRoad) railcar. #2975 was bought by the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (http://www.brscenic.com/) for use as an open air coach. The entire ceiling was covered with a print of small patterns which upon close inspection said "Great Seal of the State of New York".

Sue and I rode on one of the special trains (only 4 this year) running from Blue Ridge through the Hiwassee Loop near Farner in Tennessee.

Looking forward to Florida in January though. (After Falluminum http://www.airforums.com/forums/f288...ins-32035.htmlin October).

YEA!! Brad and I are coming. After a timely nudge from Minnie's Mate in another thread Brad decided he would like to make the Can Opener and see NorthWest Florida.

I have to catch up on this thread and see what is what and then I will add our dish(es) to the list.

We will be arriving on Thursday the 3rd and leaving Tuesday the 8th on the site I occupied last year #120.

I am sooo happy about being in Florida in January and seeing you all again and me showing Brad the sights for a change. .

Now if I can just get Tin_sista to show up I can aviod a trip to Michigan in January!

[Devoman]

It will be great to see you again.Just take your time coming back down here this time though.I dont want you to go thru what you did the last time with your Airstream when you came down.

Hello 2wired - it will be great to have you at the rally. Go to the first posting in this thread and add yourself to the list of attendies so we can keep up. Klattu will add you to the map and we will get a full picture of who alls here.

Devoman, another great showing at a Can Opener....

[Devoman]

I am really curious as to how many will attend this one.It has only been just a couple or so weeks and we are almost to the piont of what we had last year.Pretty cool stuff.

Great! It will be so good to see you again and to meet your husband. He is so lucky to have such an well traveled guide to start him on his Airstreaming retirement.



I am thinking of cocktails at our site after everything gets set up for the pot luck or maybe before everything gets set up. I guess it will be BYOB. What does everyone think? Will that work or will setting up not allow enough time before we eat? We will be at the end of the street the pot luck site is on so it would be just a short walk. We will be in site 154 if you want to look on the map and see how near it is.

The Red Bar on Friday night, cocktails at Tom's on Saturday, this is turning out to be one heck of an event.

[Minnie's Mate]

Someone said we have 12 states represented. Lets start a map of the states like the map of the camp ground. I'll start the list of states.

Just cut and paste and add the state you're from.

Georgia-Minnie's Mate AKA Tom







As the list grows, I'll add the states colored in like the one in my avatar. See example below:
