Hi Diane! Yes we will be at McKinney and Cloudland also. I'm speaking for Offspringin' and Harrison429 too ;D Looking forward to meeting you. Have you reserved for Cloudland yet? You can't reserve a specific spot at Cloudland so we will all have to figure out a way to "hold" spots for each other so we can be close together. Cloudland is one of our favorite parks, very beautiful.

Below are our preliminarily plans. Please suggest changes, or activities you would like to see. Or if you think the timings are off we can adjust those as needed. Of course plans may change due to weather but were hoping for a good weekend.
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 9am Activity --Anyone want to do something this early? Open to ideas. Thought about doing some sort of arts and crafts.
Saturday Oct 13 12pm Trailer Tour --Like last year, tour of trailers
Saturday Oct 13 3pm Swap Meet/Campsite Sale --We would like to have a little sale, try and limit the items to Camping Gear, Vintage Anything, Camper Parts, Items used for staging trailers/decorating etc etc. Not looking to see your Danielle Steel book collection etc.
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??

Seriously considering selling our 63 Astrodome since we are chasing 19' Deluxes.
Any locals interested? We would love to see it go to a good home that doesn't believe in cutting.

Curious if anyone else has booked and not updated us yet. Less than 2 months to go. Two more spots have been booked since i last checked in late July. Smack in the middle of our group, sites 24 & 25. Took another screen shot of the map in our area for FRI-SAT- SUN. There are still sites available. Maybe people know their plans a little better now? You could still book and cancel if you had too. Still only 10 bucks to cancel. Everyone is welcome. Shastas, Airstreams, Burros. Vintage/Retro preferred but anyone wanting to share in the rally is certainly welcome. Your welcome to spread the word to other trailer forums and friends or family who camp. Maybe your considering buying a vintage trailer and just want to drop by and visit with us, take the tour? Come and tent camp. Everyone is welcome. Attachments:

It'll be cool to have matching rally shirts and a souvenir of good times.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record just wanted to bump this again. Only 6 weeks left now till the camp out. Was hoping for a turn out similar to last year but looks like its going to be a small one if nothing changes. It will still be fun i think for those of us that can make it.
I know a few people have said they may drop in to visit but not camp.
Reminding everyone that this is not a Shasta only event. Everyone is welcome. Even if you have not bought a trailer yet, maybe your on the hunt. Welcome to bring a tent and join us for the weekend.
Anyone that is a member on other forums please spread the word.

So it's done...the stencil is ready to use for printing. Thanks offspringin for your original design/art work for me to create the stencil from. Heres a sample of a quickie print on a junk t-shirt just to make sure the stencil was good (lines were thick enough etc) At the rally i'll be printing in black only. Whatever you want me to print on has to be a smooth fabric (no terry type towels), for best results prewash in hotest water you'll use later and don't use fabric softener...the fibers will take the fabric paint best with no chemicals on them which will help the stencil print last longer. Is anyone else excited? We only have about 6 weeks left!!!! (I sure hope this years will be as successful as last years) I'm so looking forward to another awesome campout! Attachments:

Looks great Robin, thanks for all your work to turn that napkin sketch into a working stencil.
If anyone else is interested i was thinking about maybe picking up some fabric markers for the rally, all the members there could sign their user name on the back or where ever anyone wanted ( if they wanted to do that).
Anyone else have any interest in the fabric marker idea? I will have to buy some before the rally and don't want to do so if nobody is interested.

If you can't get enough done but have a site reserved let me know. I might be able to loan you the Astrodome if it hasn't sold yet.

Oooo! I love astrodomes (with the domes!) I think they remind me of happy times camping as a kid in one of those campers that slide over a pick up truck (though astrodomes are much nicer and I'm sure much roomier!) I don't know how 5 of us camped in that little camper. Good times though! But you and yours should go! I was thinking about my tent if I don't get done enough...BUT ill take you up on it if you haven't sold it Jill

We will have a 5 week old baby girl and the wife said its not fair for just the boys to go. I do agree with her. And for those of you doing the math in their head... The doc told us today they plan to induce sometime tomorrow!!!
