Rickreal, OR. July 2007 bus rally photos on line for viewing.

[Gary LaBombard]

Hello again,
Well my good friend, (Dave Brawdy) from Pullman, WA. went to the Rickreal, OR, Polk County Fair Ground bus rally earlier this month and was kind enough to send me a CD with about 300 photos in it that he took.  He knows what I would like to do with them and he gave me permission to share them with you on my web site that I hope you will enjoy seeing. 

Now there 9 albums I just posted, they are the first 9 on my site.  They are labeled (Rickreal, OR, Album #(1-9), 2007 bus rally) on each folder.  There is about 30 photo's as usual in each photo folder so your computer will not get overwhelmed .  Go click on them one at a time, I recommend setting up the slide view to sit back and enjoy. 

Now I have not done as usual and sorted them out but Dave did a fine job at doing that just about perfect for me and all I did was post them for you.  One problem, my webshot program will not allow me at this time to put the 9 folders in order numericaly, but you can see each number at the heading of each folder and mark it down in case you forget where you left off.  There is pictures of buses, owners, inside of buses and I did not delete or edit any of them so if it is raining at your house and you have nothing to do you can go see how the West Coast boys & Gals get together and have a good time like us.

I will try to re-arrange the photo albums later when not the internet is not so busy!!  Hahahahaha!!!

Oh, dahhhhh the website is:

Hope you all have a safe and great weekend.

Special Thanks for Dave Brawdy for allowing me to do this for all to also enjoy.

Dave, great pictures and organization.  Gary, thanks for posting them.  There were even a couple of pictures of our Eagle.

Just one small nitpick.  In album 9,  George and Glynda McConaughey would probably like to have their beautiful Eagle 01 labeled as such (as opposed to being labeled as a Prevost) <grin>

BTW, they were the major coordinators of the rally and really put a lot of blood sweat and a few tears into the project!!!

Yes, thanks for posting, lots of great shots. I  liked the interior shots as well.

Jim,
I just split up the photos in groups of 30 photos to make things easier for me, I will try to see what you are talking about and try to fix it.  Not easy to do when I did not proof read what I did as I did not take the photo's.  Thanks for the heads up. If some of you from Rickreal are mis-cataloged by bus models, I appologize.  Thanks to Dave this problem may have been minimized.

Jim, problem taken care of appropriately.   George & Glynda McConaughey, your  beautiful Eagle with the slide out has been relocated to the front of the pack especially for your efforts for arranging this rally on the West Coast.  Your new location for your bus photo's is in Album #1 and should be the one of the begining photo's on page #1.  Sorry for the mix up.  Sorting out 300 photo's like Dave did takes a lot of time, I know.  You go almost blind and can't wait to get done by the end of doing it.  So it is easy for me who does this often to see how a mistake can happen with mislabeling, after awhile they all look alike-LOL!!!

If there is any other mis-labeled photos feel free to let me know here or by email and I will take the time to fix them ASAP.  Be sure to let me know the photo file location and the problem.

Thanks again Dave for the hard work, you made it much easier to fix one or a few problems if any more exist for me this time and I appreciate your efforts.

Thanks Gary and Jim for the kind words and to Jim for catching my mislabel.  After looking again at the pictures of George and Glynda's Eagle I don't know how I could have done that.  Their bus is truly beautiful.

The interior pictures were taken by my wife.  While I was busy talking outside she was looking inside.

We have been at this rally every year since it started, but this is the first year that we were able to attended the BUS rally in a BUS!  (anyone want to buy a slightly used camp trailer?)

If anyone has the chance to attend this great rally I would encourage you to do so.  It is very well organized and a lot of fun.  There are always great seminars (including ones by Jim Shepherd), rotatable discussions, vendor booths, a swap meet and the food is fantastic! (Joe's Prime Rib is to die for)  See you next year.
