I believe at last count before the ice cream social, there were 27 buses onsite... and more expected tomorrow!  I'll try to snap some more photos of tomorrow's festivities and post them.

There is quite the line up tomorrow of breakfast, seminars all day, followed by dinner and then live music. No time for resting here!

And others attending.. please feel free to add photos to this thread!

Rally volunteers raising the banner for the backdrop to the stage.  Nobody injured in the process, so all is good. 

;D

On the shuttle to the food pavilion.  e.g., taking a bus from the bus rally area to eat lunch & talk about buses. 
Shuttles are running 1x per hour from bus rally to pavilion to the amphitheatre.  Activities in all 3 areas.

;D

Kind Regards, Phil

Thx Bob.  I don't know of any other busnuts here in Lexington.  Used to be one in Somerset that I talked to a few times back in 04'ish but he had a GM.  U guys are so lucky to be there.  Sounds like great weather too.

Enjoy and stay safe.

TWO TV crews showed up from channels 12 and 24.  Both were sending footage to the Travel Channel for a future segment on self converted camping vehicles.  Segments may also appear on local newscasts tonight.    They even interviewed "yours truly".  Though, even with my handsome profile I suspect my comments may end up on the cutting room floor.   :D

Technomadia  (Chris, Cherie) gave a fascinating talk on battery technology outside their bus.   Plenty of Q & A.


Later - it's FOOD TIME!!!

We'll try to let everyone know when the Bus Rally segment will air on the Travel Channel.   Someone needs to have a DVR/VCR/DVD ready to go!
