[saddleup]

Big maybe we might be there...

[oltrunt]

Hi Tom,  If the big bus was as far along this year as your bus was last year I'd say yes.  My big bus is quite livable now with the exception of not having any holding tanks.  In order to get the RV designation from DMV, I plumbed all the water to a single 5 gallon bucket in one of the bays and ran the sink and shower drains back into the same bucket.  Worked like a charm.  Oh, the toilet had a free fall of about two feet into it's own bucket which did not recirculate--I've really got to do something about that! Electric and propane are up and running. See you at the meet!  Jack

Hi Jack, Matt looking forward ta seein you guys there

[RJ]

The weekend before Turkey day would fit beautifully with my run to my son's in Colorado Springs for the holiday. . .

hi Jack, if you eat a lot of rice just before coming to the Dam Rally, you wont need more than a 5 gallon bucket!
hi RJ, we hope to see you and your fine Angola 5, Van and I have yet to discuss dates, usually we hold it 13, 14, 15 Nov, 2nd weekend of Nov.
any of you guys interested in those Dam shirts this year,  or how about Dam Rally iphones or Dam Rally engraved stainless steel pots and pans set, emblazoned by acid etching with the unforgetable countenance of the Van himself. due to popular demand we wont be having wolfgang puck cater the Dam family getogether this year, but hopefully Cliffored will bring his bar-b-q spatula to stir up the festivities,
lvmci...

I think the 13 14 & 15 are good dates to hold it, right before Turkey Day any one want to second that? Spoke with my good friend Danny (Counts Customs)about about coming and judging the show and shine, Unfortunately (for us) he will be judging a Bikini Contest. He said he could send over Horney Mike and his Horney Bus to fill in, I told him that I'd have to get back to him on that one lol!

Count me in too and once you determine the exact dates send me an email with information with the dates, location, and contact person and contact information and I will include it in our Rally Announcements section in Bus Conversion Magazine.  The sooner you send me the information the better.  Send the info to Gary@BusConversions.com.

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

Thanks lvmci. If you get me the info this week, we can put it in the Oct issue that will go to press next week.

[lvmci]

hi Matt, Carolee and you gonna be down this way? it would be great to see you, tom...

Are these the "Official" dates.  If these in fact are the dates for the Damn Rally is it necessary to make reservations at the Lake Mead Rv Park or do we just show up because there is plenty of room.  Are there customs to be observed for sharing of food and drink or is it an AD HOC gathering of AD HOC bus people. Considering that we often travel "toadless" it is always best to pack the appropriate supplies before heading out.  We strive to adhere to the 6 P's  Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.  Any additional cultural or social advice would be appreciated.   

Planning for that DAMN Rally

There is always wheels around Mel then Albertson's and Von is just a mile or so away

[Melbo]

Thank You Clifford

I was wondering if I should make a reservation or bring supplies to share.  We always travel heavy on supplies for our personal use we NEVER run short. We don't dry camp unless the genny is running and sometimes that is not polite.  Just trying to fit in on our first trip.
