I assume this is a dry camp ralley! Not a problem but just did not see it listed.. please reply to melo.2@earthlink.net thanks.2008 34'alpine coach

[Basil Shannon]

Yep, it will be a dry camping rally. When I sent out the first e-mail announcement,I jokingly said "We even have full hookups this year. Yeah right!" My unnamed neighbor here in Palm Springs asked me if we were really going to have hookups.

[Melorene]

Thanks for the reply and the email..will try and attend..dry camping in the Alpine Coach is so easy..we just did for 10 days at the Balloon Fest in Albq with no problems..Sure have a lot to learn compared to the Alpenlite 5th wheel. Mel

Basil,

We are looking forward to seeing lots of our great Alpine owner friends at DDR. As I still have too much used equipment that I have replaced on this coach, I wanted to know if there will be the regular "garage sale" at DDR this year?

[Basil Shannon]

thank you. I forgot! It has been added to the event list and will appear in the next mass e-mail.

[Kent and Sharon]

Schedule has changed and we might be able to make it. Can we just show up and pay when we get there?

Basil
Waiting for the snow to abate here in Spokane WA and need to complete a few hours of repairs. Need one day above freezing to install the rear bumper. Hoping we can leave by January 11th. We had such a good time last year that we are looking forward to the rally. I believe we are all paid up for the event.

Kent & Sharon,
Sorry, I just noticed your post. I have to commit to a headcount for the first meal on the 10th of January. Can you e-mail me at basil_shannon@yahoo.com prior to that? You can then pay at the rally. Let me know please.

The weather here in Palm Springs has been BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Hope it holds for the rally.

Hi Basil --
We've FINALLY made it out of Oregon!
May we still join you at Quartzite and pay when we arrive?
Thanks,
Forrest & Charlotte Hardt

[Melorene]

Basil, it is raining here in Phoenix (Mesa) hope it will have the dust under control for the outing.

[Paul "Sully" Sullivan]

Beautiful weather here in Quartzsite, mid 70's again tomorrow. Basil & Sue are to be commended on a great rally and for booking the best Quartzsite weather many of us have seen.
