What are you trying to say, BK?

Well, we just got home from the gathering in Moose Lake, and as usual, it was incredible! What a fine bunch of people we have in this ridiculous hobby. We had 7 buses show up, a small sticks and staples motorhome that the owner had done an incredible frame up restoration on and one small camper trailer. Some arrived later than expected, but in time for dinner. We could not have asked for better weather on Saturday, and spent the day recovering from Friday night (well, some of us did) and playing show and tell all day. We ended the day with a wonderful potluck dinner which we capped off with some wine and music. This morning was pancakes and bacon and everyone eventually packed up and headed their separate ways.

Sorry, the only photos I took were of some ideas I got from Sam and Charlet's new MC8 conversion. I'm sure some of the others will post some of their photos (be nice Debbie!

)

Can't wait till next year!

There was some talk going around on Sat that a couple folks may have come down with B1R1 virus (bus rally virus, induced by home made wine) on Friday night, but there was no concrete evidence to support the claims!

That's right! It was all talk by some of those pumpkins from last year!

That's our story and we're sticking to it!! Ain't that right, John?

John Z · September 27, 2009, 06:18:45 PM

It was an incredible weekend! The weather stayed clear for us in spite of forecast rain for the weekend. Thank you to everyone for coming and sharing in the meals. So nice to meet new folks and always nice to get together with old friends. Mark your calendars now so you don't forget. We talked to the manager about reserving the same end of the campground again next year for our 3rd annual event. We again are having it on the last weekend of Sept. Craig mentioned maybe having a tent for us just in case the weather does throw us a curve ball.

We will meet at the same place again, although i do hope they get those trenches between my bus and the restrooms filled in by then!!! Also there was some talk about maybe getting up there a day or two earlier. We can all talk about that later on. Again - thanks to everyone for a GREAT weekend!
