Well thats great dr. dan! I look forward to meeting you and Debbie. Looking at the list, I see 7 out of 13 ralliers are new. So cool! This NorCal group just keeps growing. It is such a great bunch of people. I wonder if all RVers are as a great as Airstreamers? I predict the next rally will be huge. Anyway, it will be great to meet everyone.
Remember the NorCal Rally group motto- "There are never newbies to NorCal Rallies, just old friends who haven't met yet." Welcome.

I don't think there will be a shortage of spaces in the full hookup spaces, and I hope they make it too. See everyone soon, Jeff

Actually, Jeff, I think with 13 ralliers we have a good size group. And I can't wait to to be relaxing with a beer watching Colin ride thru mud puddles all day. Can't think of anything I'd rather do more. And hopefully you can find some firewood thats not totally waterlogged. The dinner and campfire is, of course, the highlight of the weekend. Can't wait. Besides the weather, I am just plain burned out and a little camping is just what the doctor ordered! See you, Kathy and Colin as my old neighbor in just 2 weeks. Wow, it's here!

[Big Dee]

Unfortunately, FattRatt can not make the rally. We will miss his geocaching stories around the campfire. Ray also had to miss the Pismo Rally at the last moment so I really hope he makes this fall's rally because he is missed. Bummer.

The list has been finalized at 10 sites so there is an extra one available if anybody wants to take FattRatt's place. We are coming down to it.

I am camping rite now and online. Love it! That's the best of both worlds!

Can't wait to be set up in Casini with Jeff, Kathy, and Colin as my neighbors, sipping one of Cam's special drinks, smelling my steak on the bbq and watching the eagles fly over the redwoods. Sweet, huh?

See you guys soon!

[Big Dee]

Hey look guys- this list is going the wrong way. I am sorry to say that mugbob and ironfem 200 had to cancel. Oh well, I see a lot of people on the list that will make it an awesome time. Can't wait to see you all. Soon.

There is an open spot for some latecomer. Anybody want that open spot? It's going to be fun!

Sorry to have to cancel, but we did not get our Airstream put back together in time for the Casini Rally. With all of the rain we've had here in NorCal, it's been impossible to get any work done. I'm sure you'll all have a great time and we hope it's rain-free! When it's sunny out the days are simply stellar, aren't they?

Hopefully we'll be complete for the next rally.
Gleam on!

[pinkflamingoes]

I'm still shooting for a visit on Saturday! And Luminati has verified my excuse for still not being done with windows. I will be driving my hubby's truck. Do you need me to bring a box of firewood?

[TallZach]

Hi all,
Haven't been on-line much since our x-country move in January, but thought I'd check in to see what was happening in Norcal. Looks like good timing since you are headed to Casini this weekend. What a great place.

Our move to Indiana went well and we are safely installed in our new abode. Sadly the Bambi had to go into storage for 3 winter months (talk about withdrawal), but it came out 2 weeks ago and we've taken two trips so far. Got to keep the streak alive. We're making arangements for in/out priveledges next winter so that we can do some fun snow camping.

We'd love to come to the rally, but sadly 2300 miles is a rough weekend commute. We are very jealous, and sending good thoughts for a fun rally! We've certainly enjoyed the last ones.

We'll be checking in, but are best reached by private post. Let us know if you are cutting accross the country. It would be nice to see you, and we have a nice stopover spot.

Zach and Michele

Big Dee,

Do we have assigned spaces? The reason I ask is because I called Casini to book Thursday as well. Rather than move from one spot to another, I'd like to take the assigned one on Thursday. The person at reception said that she didn't know the spots and that I should check with you.

Thanks...

[Kevbo10]

good question. i was going to come in on thursday also, but haven't got off my rear end to call yet. kevin

[Big Dee]

Zach and Michele,

Hey I am so glad you checked in. I often wonder how the move went and think of my stay in Middlebury and how you guys are liking it. Boy, what a different world from San Fran. One extreme to another. If you get a chance write us again. We all are curious. All will remember your cute Bambi and how much you guys used it. No one will beat your record of weekends. I will sure let you know if I ever come east on I80. Proally in a couple years. Take care and we will miss you two at Casini.

[Big Dee]

Mike and Kevbo-

Since I have cancelled 10 sites, I am not sure which sites those were out of the 20. So I will call tomorrow. I will go ahead and get your sites assigned. Both of you are arriving on Thursday, right? Also I need your full name Kevbo. You can just PM me. I am jealous that you guys get an extra day.

I'll see everyone around 1 PM Friday as I am taking the day off.

[Kevbo10]

ok, so like i revealed my true name behind curtain number three... for the pot luck, i'll be doing sea food lasagna and bringing some firewood from the ranch. kevin

[Coastalview]

Any site for us is fine. I'll be packing some firewood too. We should be arriving around 1:00 pm on friday as well.
Big Dee, we may catch up with you if your traveling up 280 to 101 over the Golden Gate. This direction is free, as we will travel the San Rafael bridge when we head home, for the other free direction. See you all soon, Jeff

[Big Dee]

I will call Casini tomorrow and will post site assignments.

Jeff- maybe I will see you on the road as I am taking that same route. That would be fun to caravan. And no any site will not do for you. The only site that is good is the one next to mine, old neighbor.

Can't believe we are in count down mode. See you all soon!

[Coastalview]

Big Dee, If your cell number hasn't changed, I'll call you when we're on the road northbound. Jeff

[Big Dee]

Mike and Kevbo- I called Casini and they are expecting you two to arrive on Thursday. I think it was site 126 and 127 but they have your names so all should be good.

Jeff- I don't know if you have my latest cell number since I changed carriers in the last year. It is 408-564-3667. It would be totally fun if it worked out and we caravaned up together.

And thanks to Kevbo and Jeff for bringing firewood. Sitting around the fire after a great potluck dinner is the highlight of every rally!
See you guys in 48 hours or so. YES!!!

There is an open spot for some latecomer. Anybody want that open spot? It's going to be fun! Join us.

Karin- Wow, i missed your post. Sorry you can't make it. We will miss you. Hope to see you in October.

Jeff- Call me when you leave your house and on the road. What is your estimated departure time? I am coming from Santa Cruz KOA and will be taking Hwy 129 over to 101. I can meet you somewhere along 101. Like Garlic Farm truck stop. That'll be cool.

[Safari Tim]

Can I take spot 4?

I have no idea what I'll bring to the potluck, but I'm sure it will be edible.

Now I have to see if my boss will give me time off tomorrow.

Talk about last minute planning!

BTW- We'll be bringing our newest airstreamer with us Last time he went he was -6 months.... Now he's +6 months

She will be if we can verify a spot!

I called Dan's cell and left a voicemail for him.

These are all full-hook up if I remember. Is that right?

Nice Sunny days too. We lucked out.
