Many thanks to all of you who have welcomed us in this forum and at the New Year's Eve party. We sure enjoyed finally meeting so many of you. (Sure wish I'd written down names or had captioned photos, though, to properly thank you personally!)

Happy New Year to all and thank you again for all your help.
 
The rally photos are in our photo gallery - click the Photos button and scroll down to the Oro Valley album. I'll add any more that show up here.
 
You people all look like you're having way too much fun!  I guess you know how much Fred and I have missed not being there this year.  But we are looking forward to making it to QZ.  We are certainly loving the pictures and write-up about the goings on so keep them coming.

Today we went on a hike on the Canyon Loop Trail.  It was great.  We had to ford several Small streams and there were some of the best Saguaros I have ever seen as evidenced by the attached photos.

The New Year's eve ball dropping party at Mahoney's coach was a success, but with only 3 of the 12 bottles of champagne consumed!

Looks like the drinkers didn't do any better than last year. Sorry we couldn't make it this time. Hopefully, next year.
 
Here are a couple snapshots from the Catalina State Park nonrally.

Here are photos of all the rally participants at the un official 09  New Years Rally held in Catalina State Park in Oro Valley,AZ.

A big thanks to Ken and Shiela for organizing it.  We sure missed those who were not able to attend, maybe next year!

Love seeing the pictures of those who attended the rally. Any chance of assigning some names to those pictures? It's always nice to have a face to go with the framily members we read about.

Jim,

Why don't you and Pat plan on next years rally.

Economy!! We would love to head west but won't know if we can until we see what happens this year. Work was very spotty this summer which doesn't help. I hope we can do it soon.
