Re: [A/S] Vintage Rally at Olema, CA



Roger
I want to second your comments about A/S people and the rallies. We were
at the Region 2 Rally (Ontario Canada) in Leamington a few weeks ago and
I got so inspired I had to write the pres and tell him who impressed I
was. Now for a survivor of the cynical 60's that is a mark on the wall.
Folks, I can only urge that you join WBCCI and get to meet a whole gang
of really nice people.
We dry camped and I found out I could wash in the morning without a
hookup to a hose and that not having my Saturday Night at the Movies was
survivable. Had a great steak bbq with steaks that covered the dinner
plate, tour of a local rose production green house,  and many fine chats
with owners of everything from 50's to last year's model. Interestingly
met a guy who won a hospital lottery that included a brandnew special
edition A/S, tow vehicle and all sorts of outdoor goodies. Some people
have the luck and he wore it well.
I managed to get backed into the approximate place I was supposed to be
and had to pull forward to readjust where I was in relation to the next
A/S. It was on grass and it had rained for a couple of days before so it
was greasy. The old Crown Vic couldn't get traction so I "left my mark"
on the camp ground. It really is helpful though to have all the guys
standing around giving you advice.....<grin>....that finally ends up
with..."that's OK camper, just leave her there."
Keep on campin'
