Unfortunately...I'm not going to be able to make it after all, so you guys have a wonderful rally and enjoy the time together.

Hopefully next year (if the dates can be shifted a bit)...tough time to get away from work here at the end of the fiscal quarter...too much to get done in a short period of time...

JJ...someone else might have a smartphone with Skype...so you can still do the NAR to NAR Skype connection.

I am getting the travel trailer set up and cleaned.   Bev and I will have the EV.

Mike from Austin is heading up for a stopover. 

I'll pay up when I get there, Dusty.

The end of the storm just passed my house. A little wind and a wonderful 2/3 inch of rain, all clear behind.  :thumb:
My road out should be passable by mid-day tomorrow. Hope to be there no later than 4pm.

Have fun this weekend boys & girls!   :thumb: :cool: :1:

I spoke with "Smith Swede" (Prescott?) from your group last night.  We exchanged mobile phone numbers.  Will try and call to say "Hello from Arizona" Friday night. :cool: :1: :thumb:  This is what we will be doing... :shocked: :shocked:

Cedar Vale rally attendees ..........

How about a rally report?  Like, what's going on? I think a bunch of us would like to know.  Dusty, you probably have your hands full.  Can you dump this project on some other member who could update us on the rally happenings?

Best wishes to all,

Lots or rain, lightning, high winds, tornado reports, more lightning, so that I couldn't head to Cedar Vale today.  The storm was right on top of my route from early morning until mid afternoon.  I'm hoping that the weather will be good enough to make the run to Cedar Vale tomorrow.
