Most everybody has gathered at the Georgia Veterans Park and the good times are underway. We had a rousing happy hour Wednesday - actually it was SEVERAL hours and we all got VERY happy! [VBG] We finished up with late dinner at a Mexican restaurant and by the time we got back to the campground all were ready for bed.

Today (Thursday) we are expecting Ian & Doreen Hall to arrive to join our happy crew. The Halls are from the UK and are touring the US in their new Revolution, so this will be their first Roaming Friends-RV Forum rally.

Most of us are grouped along the lakeshore in the vicinity of site #7. One unusual aspect of this gathering: trailers outnumber motorhomes for a change!

Gary:

Wish we were there, but it will have to wait till the fall. Hi to everyone and hope you have great weather.

Today started out cold (50's) but eventually warmed up around 4 pm for social hour. Ian & Doreen arrived and met everyone, a splendid addition to our usual crew that brightened up the conversation considerably. Dave Reavis & Joe Myers bought ribs and Brunswick stew from a little joint on the back streets of Cordele, providing us all with a wonderful dinner. Earlier in the day the guys went out and bought some firewood so we could have the traditional even campfire, which all enjoyed depsite a late night chill.

A big breakfast, cooked by the men, is on the agenda for Friday brunch. Some folks may take a train ride which leaves right from the park and visits places like Americus and Plains (Jimmy Carter family home). I think I'll nap instead...

Don't forget to have someone snap some pics and upload them here Gary! Thanks.

Good decision, Gary - If you've seen one peanut, you've seen them all

Gary RV_Wizard · « **Reply #6 on:** April 16, 2005, 10:01:28 AM »

I haven't got the camera out of the bag but Jeannine & Joel have snapped some pics. Hope they post some.

Hi Gary,

Sounds like a typical SE rally.

Sorry we're missing it. We hope to make the fall rally if it's in early November. Still don't know when our son will get his ship in October.

Ian & Doreen...
We are really glad you two came to the rally - new faces always add a bit of spark to a gethering and you & Doreen added a lot more than a mere spark. We really enjoyed your company and are hoping to see you again next spring.

Likely I won't make either the Spring SE rally nor the Moab rally next year. We will be in Fla in Mar-Apr though Gary.

Post some pics!!

Gary RV_Wizard · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2005, 03:16:39 PM »

Who's that fat guy watching the dulcimers? You'd think he could at least crack a smile!

Smoky: The 2006 Spring Rally will be the last week in April, just in time for your exit from Florida. I have a location near Augusta, GA in mind.

Smoky · « **Reply #16 on:** May 06, 2005, 05:29:36 PM »

We will try to drag our feet. And Georgia is a lot closer in case the grandaughter drags us north too soon.

Thanks Jeannine.

Smoky · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2005, 03:52:06 PM »

Great shot Jeaninie!

I like people and rig shots much better than scenery with no one in it.

Jeannine · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2005, 11:11:45 PM »

There were supposed to be 3 photos. Here is another one...

Delayed thanks for the photos. Who's getting the paraglider lessons?

BTW I've started adding the photos to our photo albums. You can always find the albums by going to our web site at: www.rvforum.net and clicking on Photo Albums in the Main Menu.
