Fall Rally in Northern Illinois

[Tom Nugler]

Another Rally is over and it’s time for the Recap.
With nearly perfect weather and a great group of Airstreamers this one won’t be forgotten.
Mike had tipped off the Camp Host, Roger that we were coming so we didn’t get the usual greeting of “How many Airheads this time”
We picked the lower loop among the trees and decorated the site for the weekend.

No Meet is complete without a road trip or two. The runs to the Apple Orchards are becoming the norm; the trip to the Turkey Testicle Festival in Byron is a first.
With “Security” considering the Festival an extension of the bar they wouldn’t let 6 month old Paden in. With the exception of Ina, the women, who were not at all too thrilled with the thought of sampling the main dish, found a couple of stores to browse.
We Manly Men, set up with a beer and a cup of the deep fried delicacy, came to the consensus that it tastes somewhat like mild liver. IMHO a touch of garlic would have helped.

We have been described as an Eating Group with a Camping Disorder.
From Friday night to Sunday morning there was always plenty to gorge or nibble on depending on your mood. The unseasonably warm weather prompted some menu changes but as always there was a wide array of dishes to indulge in.

The camp hosts Roger and De came down to Potluck on Saturday for a farewell dinner. After 5 years they have decided not to be tied down and want to travel next summer. We can all agree they are the most gracious and hospitable couple and we will miss them.
From young to old I hope you all had a great time.
Thanks to everyone for making this another memorable Fall Rally.

See everybody soon,
Tom and Sue
