2017 Non-Rally at Palmetto Cove October 12th to 15th

[kyle4501]

Wow, How time flys !
The first Non-Rally was in 2007.  http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=5664.0

This years will follow the same theme as the others -

Friday night -- Spaghetti & salad provided -- deserts needed

Saturday night  -- BBQ & beans -- bring your favorite sides or desert

The Cove now accepts reservations, so make them as soon as you can & tell them you are with the bus-nuts.

All sites are full hookup with lots of 50 amp sites available.

So, who all can make it?

I'll get 5303-131 up there, for sure. Might just drive up sooner to make sure it will. =)

Kyle   what is all these I roads.   Never see them in my travels

uncle ned

[kyle4501]

I roads are necessary for those of us that still have to work for a living . . . . .

Ned, you really do need to get out more. 

I-85 was built in '58, I-26 followed 2 years later.

See if you can get your grand kids to show you how to use Google maps ( better than paper maps & you don't have to fold them.     )


You can use an I road, but, you will need to use some self restraint and obey the posted speed limits -- might save some on your fuel bill too.

The roads around table rock are narrow and quite exciting to drive, even in a car.

Narrow, sure. But plenty of room for the big rigs     

[uncle ned]

Kyle   The last time I came up I85 from Athens Ga. to Cheessnee SC it cost me 415$ in fuel.

That was in the 4.00 dollars per gallon days.

But I was in front when I got there.  LOL

my be that way again in a few days by the way fuel price is climbing today.

Can go from Lenoir NC to Arcadia Fl with out getting on the I roads.  a good 2 day trip.

[Zephod]

Not sure. I'd love to but still plenty to do and need to retitle my bus.

3 weeks . . . . . .

[kyle4501]

Saturday breakfast will be omelettes in a bag 

Also, a reminder - Since this campground has no shower/ bathroom facilities, DHEC requires all RVs must have a functioning shower, toilet and kitchen. If you don't have these, you will be referred to another campground that can accommodate your needs.

Hey gang,

Wife and I are interested in going.  I've never been to a bus rally.  Is there any information or agenda?  I've heard that sometimes there are classes given or vendors but maybe this is strictly a meet and greet. 


Any additional info would be great.  If we commit, it probably wouldn't be until Friday but it depends when we can get off work.  Do people every show up on Fridays or are they too full by then. 

[Branderson]

Never mind, wife looked has Reserves drill that weekend unfortunately. Looks like the wait continues to cut my teeth on a rally or "non" rally.   

[pabusnut]

It seems like drill weekend is always on the only weekend where there is something you really want to go to.

Now that I have graduated(retired), I don't have the extra income it provided, so it is a double edged sword.
