Guys as you begin to think about potential RV projects while in Spearfish next summer I wanted you to know that my brother-in-law has a great place we can use if anyone requires it. He lives just down the road about 3 miles right at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon. He has a large detached garage with half of it devoted to a very nice wood shop with all the bells and whistles. Plenty of room for other projects as well if the weather is not condusive to working outside as well. He is a very handy guy and loves this sort of stuff.

That is REALLY good news to hear that Newell wants to be a part of us! I read where Karl has recognized that the desire for their "rallys" has changed.

i have heard the newell rallys are incredible.
the get together we are having in spearfish i hope will be like the ones we did in austin and creede. very informal with a few organized activities but lots of hanging out time. where it was like a family getting together and visiting, eating, telling stories, going out and about etc. and doing tours of each others coaches as well as impromptu tech sessions on someones coach or such. bring your woodworking tools cause the way things are going i probably wont have my bedroom 100% done yet....
my only advice would be to keep it simple like we have before. i think we had potluck dinners almost every night for those that wanted to attend.
i am still really excited about doing a group project to put bright flame art down both sides of steve and suzy's coach. i think that will add some real pizazz to their paint job. and i know steve m wants another slide so richard, bring your sawzall.
later

I totally agree on the KISS approach to the rally, but the bright flame art, not so much........................... Suzy & I look forward to meeting every one!
