Anything you want to bring will work out just fine, just DON'T plan to make enough for everyone to make a meal out of your dish because that's what happened last year and everyone ended up throwing food away. Good; the corn hole game will be great on the beach Friday afternoon and we'll bring our paddle ball game in case we want to chase balls! haha We'll be there Wednesday night (#22) so I have to get organized...I have so little time left to food shop, food prep etc

There has been some cancellations (and that's ok... we still love you all) so i wanted to summarize what has been posted over the weekend.
Current known member list
#17 Kristi - Thursday #18 58 Airstream - Thursday #22 Harrison - Wednesday #27 Offspringin - Thursday #28 Diane - Thursday
Friday Desert Social Kristi- Brownies Harrison - Apple Crisp Offspringin - Shasta Cake Dianemayes - Banana Pudding (famous im told)
Saturday Potluck Kristi - Meatballs Harrison - Loaded Potato Soup Offspringin - Deviled Eggs, Crock-pot Mac & Cheese (recipe from last year) and probably a desert Dianemayes - Brunswick Stew
Sunday Brunch Kristi - Waffles and/or Pancake makings Harrison - Orange Blossom Sweet Rolls
I don't recall the site layouts but I think our site (27) or Dianes site (28) may have a larger area to gather in. Then again we have very few people so may not be that big of a deal.
Not sure if we will need folding tables this year for the potluck dinner. May can just use the picnic table for the food. Ill have a small metal folding table. Everyone should bring their own chairs, as well as their own drinks. Ill bring trash bags, paper towels etc. If your dish requires serving spoons or if your bringing something that could use bowls/spoons (stew/soup) may want to bring those. I think everyone travels with paper plates (at least we do) so between us all there should be enough of those.
Don't forget to bring a shirt/bag etc to be stenciled if you want to do that. With such a small group i think that will go easier as well.
If anyone has anything to add (or i just missed something) either post here or feel free to PM me.

think your about as excited as we are... maybe a little bit more being as your already packed up. I was hoping for a larger turn out but i think even with just a few folks its going to be a fun weekend. I'm excited either way!

well i'm not completely packed up but i am very excited...i finally have a finished trailer and its finally cold enough to have a fire while camping...does it get any better than that?! A lot of people was fun last year but a few people just means we actually get to become more acquainted than we had the opportunity to last year. what i do wish is that we were all next to each other and not so spread out

Chill could you be ready by spring?
I've been thinking about trying to put something together in Hiawassee, GA in the spring. Any of our McKinney friends interested? If so I'll start a thread.
We are very excited just to make our day trip visit this year. Look forward to seeing y'all!
Anything you want us to bring food, etc. Sorry we can't bring our camper and stay. We did talk about it, but we are trying to be reasonable parents. That's funny!

Is anyone going to McKinney interested in the swap meet idea? We had talked about it but with only 5 members going..... i don't want to bring stuff if nobody is interested.

I figured there weren't enough people to bother hauling the stuff I have to sell.
kto17 I say go ahead and start a new thread...we're all interested.
I know several people have mentioned joining us for the potluck but we have no idea how many people might actually show up so if you're joining us for the potluck and expect to eat then yes, bring some food along.

ok.. no swap meet this time.
kto17 i agree, start a feeler thread. perhaps with a few date options? I know a couple of us have some spring stuff booked already. We (wife and I) can only camp every other weekend because of her work schedule but would be interested in what you have in mind.

I'm not sure when we will be out that way, might make the potluck. If so we will bring something. I'll start a thread for a spring trip. I don't think we all need to haul all our junk out, but if anyone needs something speak up now! If anyone has a Veritas gas lamp for an early 60's they might sell, please PM me, even if its missing parts. I have a newer lamp, I think its a humphery but its missing parts, if anyone is interested. I also need two cot brackets.

In the process of printing the schedule of events, I swapped out the painting of shirts/cloth for the swap meet time.
Revised list below, obviously we can fit in more game time etc etc if anyone wishes to do so.
Friday Oct 12 3pm Mixer/Activity --We're looking at some sort of activity, a little mixer style event, something like horseshoes, bolo toss, bean bag toss etc etc.
Friday Oct 12 7pm Campfire/Drinks/Social Hour? -- Bring your own drinks and maybe a desert of some sort to share
Saturday Oct 13 12pm Trailer Tour --Like last year, tour of trailers
Saturday Oct 13 3pm Activity --Print Rally T-shirts (or other smooth cotton items)
Saturday Oct 13 6 pm Pot-Luck Dinner --This was a big success last year, we have more than enough food. Like to see that response again this year. So get practicing with your crock pots (don't forget the liners), fire up the grill, or just bring something yummy. (as time gets closer and we have a better list of folks going ill try and organize folks to different food categories (so we don't have 1 entree and 27 deserts)
Sunday Oct 14 1030am Brunch/Goodbyes --A morning group brunch??

Does anyone have a yellow, golden interior that would like, for free, 4 vintage plastic dinner plates, 4 bowls, coffee cup and yellow/orange ScotTowel papertowel holder? The only thing that matches are 2 floral plates and 3 white bowls, the rest coordinates but doesn't match.

April 5-7, 2013 is when the Airstream Springstream is at The North Georgia Mountains Fairground campground in Hiawassee, GA. If you plan a Shasta Rally there in a different part of the campground that would be great. If I remember correctly, starting in January reservations can be made. Also, The Airstream Club Rally is April 18-21,2013 at Stone Mountain Park again. I reserved a shaded spot way in advance! Sometimes knowing when other trailer groups are gathering helps plan for better attendance at your own.

Here's some photos I took from this weekends little rally. We had a lot of fun despite my wife's little spraining of both her ankles within an hour of parking the trailer Thursday. It was so nice to see everyone and meet some new folks too. Glad everyone was able to make it out and hope you all made it home safe. Since our good friend 65callie wasn't there to decline the nomination we all elected her the 2013 fall rally organizer. Hopefully she will come up with something closer than Pismo Beach as was her original idea. There has been talk of a rally just across the GA/SC line in SC. Only about a year left now.... lets start planning! kto17 made it out with his family for the potluck dinner and 65callie made it to the trailer tour (in their old beetle) heres a link to my photos smg.beta.photobucket.com/user/offspringin/library/mckinney%202012%20rallypassword:1970shasta Attachments:
