Go ahead and make it bigger
Guys, it's February. You're planning the rally in June. Why can't you enlarge it? If it won't fit on Rob's farm, then move it. It's five months away. No need to wait for 2011. If you want it bigger, do it now!
Heck, if you do that, I might even bring my spawn-of-the-devil AVION to it (said it was open to anyone with a shiny silver trailer...). I appreciate Wally too, ya know!
see ya 'round,

Name ???
How about ROZO Caravan Club ?? Maybe even "International" added.
Most of us would agree to the "KISS" principle.

Jim, If you were ever to come to Bakers Acres you would understand why we want to have it there. The three hundred mile view makes it so worth the sacrifice. The real issue in increasing the numbers is being able to deliver what we promise. If all goes well, 2011 will be much larger. Avions are very welcome by the way.
all the positive PMs and "thanks" have been very uplifting. Thank you all for your support.

If there is any interest, I will be guiding a fishing trip on the Chenango River. No canoes needed, we'll be driving to within 100 yards of the river at about 5 different fishing holes. These are good spots, too. I've spent 30 years fishing this river and I can (almost) guarantee success. Pike, walleye, and trout will be the targeted species but we may get into the carp as well. While I don't eat carp, there is nothing like fighting a 15 pound carp on a light trout rig!

Rats I'd like to have been able to attend ESPECIALLY if it offends someone at IBT that I do go to outside rallies. I am definitely going to sign up for Alumaplaoosa - and refrain from contributing to any financial success of the International.
You've asked that this thread not turn into a bashing of the WBCCI so I'll try to stay helpful
HOWEVER....
Is it possible that there might be a "misunderstanding" by current WBCCI leadership due to cerebral fossilization of decades long term exposure to IBT politics - and that the owners of AIRSTREAM INC. might have just as much a claim to use Wally's name, image, etc. as the WBCCI says it has?
A mere assertion that "we own Wally's name" doesn't mean that the WBCCI actually DOES own it... it means that they have paid someone with a law degree to write a letter. The WBCCI may have some right to the name and image, but clearly it's not exclusive. Airstream DOES use Wally's image, name and likeness in it's website, advertising, etc. Every book about Airstreams or silver trailers mentions Wally - and I'll have to check, but I don't think any of those authors got PERMISSION to use it from the WBCCI. I'd also say that PeeWee could equally well assert the right to use his relative's name in any rally he wanted to attend or support. I know PeeWee wants to see the WBCCI continue, and I sympathize. I even say I yearn to see leadership which wants to serve the MEMBERS rather than just suck every last dollar out of the treasury before they go for the long dirt nap. The letter, while too small to be read easily, is presumptuous on more than one level and shows the IBT's usual care and concern for it's membership's welfare and rights.
You know what, tomorrow I'm going to Hancock Fabrics and I'm going to buy some silver lame cloth, and make a six section silver beret (sectioned like a baseball cap). I'll use round silver sequins as decorative rivets to draw attention to the seams on the sections. Once I get a model I like I'll GIVE away the pattern, the directions and the "right" to make a riveted beret. Argosy owners could do one in cream and bronze without rivets.

From my 'warped' point of view, I'd consider that 'letter' as being a 'Badge of Honor'...
Your great idea for a 'Birthday Bash' to invite like minded friends to get together doesn't sound like commercial, for profit enterprise to me...and just a mention on your web site that the event isn't connected with Wally's Wags in any way, should have been sufficient to disassociate your event from any such event they might hold, IMHO...I'm not an attorney, but I've been inside a courthouse...
Maybe they're just miffed they didn't think of it first!
Your 'Bash' sounds like a real blast - hope you have a good 'chuckle' around the campfire about the whole routine...
I would frame the letter and hang it up there on the mantle for all to see...
Have lots of fun - wish we could be there...

Dennis, It sound like you found a mission. I say go for it. We hold no claims to the title Birthday Bash. Maybe we could simacast it on the CBS morning show. Seriously, I think you should get three friends and make it happen. Really the only hard part is going to be find a venue with a 400 mile view

I'm sure there's some cool place up in the Sierra Nevada's that has a 300 mile views, or heck, up there on the Big Sur coastline at some State Park...
What a concept, little Birthday Bashes popping up all over the place that weekend!! I love it.
I'll get Tim to dial us all into a BASH VAP

Well Rob you sure know how to get the word out.
When I Google Wally Baym trademark I could not find any mention of his name as a trademark, but rather only the Beret. What is even more interesting is the fact that the Birthday Bash is right up there at third in line on a Google search. At that rate you should overtake the WBCCI in no time.
Maybe the WBCCI would be better off having Ms. Kimberly go after Google and there deeper pockets. Because they sure can ask you to have history removed from Google

Fly or spin casting?
Fly I'm in! I will need the name of a local shop so I can get some local flys.

Sounds good!
Frank, thanks for the kind words. Sounds like a really nice place and a great idea.
Maybe I can check you guys next year then. Don't worry...I'll park in the back
take care,

Page and I are pretty much individual campers - this will be the second rally (actually the third, since we plan to attend the Nation's Capital rally on the way there). Our only other rally was the 4CU Balloon Fest. That was certainly a 10 out ot 10 rally. What a bunch of nice folks, too.
We chose to come to this one for a couple of reasons; first was time and place. Next was the confidence we felt that this would be a fun thing to do and a great chance to meet other Airstream enthusiasts.
Rob's farm looks to us to be a great jumping off point too - we've never been to the Finger Lakes. So we'll be looking for advice on where to spend a week or so camping/touring that area before we have to head for home. We'll be bringing our kayaks, and would love to be able to set up next to some lake and just be overwhelmed with the sights and sounds.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. Anyone else have any ideas?

Reminder for all New Englanders that I will be arranging a psuedo-caravan over to the Birthday Bash. Rob has advised me that the route to go is NY-23 which begins at the Mass/NY border goes over the Rip Van Winkle Bridge and meanders through the Catskills. One or two stops at older Diners. There is one right over the bridge that I have my eye on.
It will be a casual drive. Me heading up to 23 is a bit out of the way for me, but it sounds like it should be fun.
So again, pm me where you'll be coming from and your emails and mobile phone number, if you haven't already, and I'll send you my email address and mobile phone number. I haven't settled on a meet up location yet. I might go for a ride in early spring to check out the bridge and the diner near it. So far it's 4 of us.
I look forward to hearing from you.
one last thing, I have a portable CB so if you have one too it could make communication easier.
