Couple of reminders....
This is a GREAT rally for families, family reunions, units traveling together, friends traveling together and..... Anniversaries - - - - we will do our best to make sure groups/families and friends are parked together - two things are required for this rally - - - - - - - - lots of smiles and a camera! The organizing committees loves to see all young and young at heart faces the first time they see 750+ balloons go up at one time - it is a real treat for us!
Let us know how we can make this happen for you!
Ken J.

Ken:
as posted by, "lewster", "The proverbial check is in the mail" as of today! We are so excited, can't wait. Thanks for what you have done so far. We're trying to talk some friends from Oakland, CA to join us, if space permits.
Terry & Natalie!

Terry - very cool - tis no problem, just don't try this at home.....
The famous Lewster is actually on the organizaing committee and has been there with us since the begginning - he is also an amazingly talanted RV master mechanic - so if ya'll need any work done, he is available.
This is a full service rally......

I sent out confirmations via e-mail today - if you did not get one you either sent your check in the last few days or your e-mail rejected - the hardest part of this job is reading figuring e-mail addresses - so please please please print VERY clearly your e-mail. If you did not get notice, please e-mail me your e-mail address
Thanks

Lew - if CW doesn't have it - I'm sure Harbour Freight has a "one use" one....
Susan - that sounds great! Cool another 50's trailer - are you coming to our Vintage Restoration Rally too? We have a lot of your 57's brothers and sisters there - would make him/her happy to see them again - ya know its been a long time since they were together....

Ken, for those of us with vintage rigs, is it ok for us to bring along a blue boy (in lieu of a gray tank)?

I've often wondered about following the instructions in the book and opening the slide valve with the cap on the outlet (backflowing gray into the black tank). Somehow it just seems to me that dumping might get kind of interesting.

I have read about that as well and it paints a very disturbing image to me. I have used a tote at the Fiesta in the past since my grey tank is very small.

It turns out there is a concrete flood control diversion channel right in front of where we park (about 60 yards across grooomed gravel). If you are even a little bit discrete, you can pour your gray water there (don't tell anyone I told you) when the lights go down.
As Adm Grace Hopper said, "tis better to ask forgiveness than permission." You do know why she carried an 18" length of wire with her to all her briefings, right?

* we have promised not to compromise other Streamers by dumping under their trailers this year...

I thought it was an 11.8" piece of wire which represented one nanosecond.
