Bill,

Terry and Betty & Linda and I are the only ones left in the campground. The rest have left for dinner and we are leaving at 5:30. I can not see any pull thoughs in Campground B where we are located. There is a back in spot right across the street next to the restrooms which is essentially with our group. That is probably your best bet until some leaves tomorrow. It has W&E.

I tried calling you but the number is a non-working number.

Richard

Pictured here are some of the activites of this very low key un-official rally.  Can you guess how many computers will work in one motorhome?  It is a beautiful day and  Jerry and I just did as short hike up to the Romero Ruins.  Happy hour is at  3pm with a Potluck to follow.  Russ is hosting us in his rig this evening to celebrate the New Year 2009!

Sun is setting, pot luck is done and cleaned up, we are all getting changed into formal wear for Russ's party.  Debating between my desert gold, or the festive plaid bow tie for my tuxedo. 

Here are some of the feeding frenzy pictures. 

Update.  Guess I ate too much at Pot Luck, can't get into my tux.  Guess it will be jeans and flannel.

Thanks for the pictures and it looks like everyone is having a great time.  We sure miss being there but are enjoying being on the lot and we were able to spend this afternoon and evening with my brother and SIL.  They are on there way to a condo near Corpus Christi for two months, so it was great to have them stop by.  HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.

I second the thanks to Russ for hosting our New Year's Eve celebration.

Also want to add that we're missing our framily who couldn't join us.  Maybe next year!

To all, have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009.

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!

14 is a tight squeeze but we were all fairly comfortable. NBC supplied the TV feed and I showed pics from the Maritimes trip.

Let me add our thanks as well.  We like this time zone thing, watch the ball drop and still get to bed at a reasonable hour. 

Sadly, we will be leaving early, but look forward to seeing all at Quartzsite. 

Ken & Shiela, thanks again for hosting.  Great place to be back to.
