Thanks, ElevatorMan, I've seen that and it looks like a nice assist in getting lined up. I'll keep it in mind. And Happy Birthday, tomorrow. I had a nice birthday yesterday!

Thanks Gus for the info. I took our prior travel trailer to Myrtle Beach with the girls when Sam was in the Middle East in October 2007, so hook-up at home was easy, especially with Kelley as my guide for lining the truck up. My biggest concern is that darn poo-line! But I like your idea of...

T-shirt order Hi Dave, I'd like to place our order. Because Sam will be out of the country, our family will only need 3 shirts during the Rally.:( I wear a women's 1x, Kelley's a ladies small and Caitlin's in a youth large. I'm planning on bringing the girls and Zeus to the Rally...

Ahhh... ...I can almost feel the warm sun on my skin and the breeze blowing through the sea oats! Now, just to get through Christmas and all of winter :( until I feel the sand between my toes once again. Just think, 4 months, 2 weeks, 2 days and 20 some odd hours until we head for Hatteras...

We've got our reservations Hey Gus, We're on site 401. We're coming in on 4/29 and departing on 5/4. We can't wait to see everyone again. We're looking forward to relaxing and reconnecting with y'all again.

I resemble that remark! No, not really.:p I just like to kid around. I'll make reservations with Merrin for this Rally real soon, and will post our site number. We're excited to see all our Rally friends again. It's our goal to partake of the relaxing part of this Rally, to see the...

Thanks for your trips down memory lane, folks. I shared your memories with my 49 yr old DH and 14 & 10 yr old DD's. DH asked me "Do you know why they had that packet of coloring? So consumers wouldn't be duped into buying oleo packaged as butter." Thanks for your little slice of Americana...

Best Steak EVER How about a nice thick rib-eye (1 1/2"+) with your favorite rub, along with a sweet potato. Make that a NC yam, since it's one of our best crops. I don't own a BGE, but was the grateful recipient about a year ago when we were invited to a christening dinner party band I...

I appreciate peoples opinions and respect their decisions in life. I expect the same level of respect from them. My husband and I enjoy alcohol while we're camping. We all come to the table with different experiences, talents and life lessons. Different is not wrong, it's just different...

Home again! FYI all y'all, we rolled in around 7pm after a very relaxing trip home. Our family decided we need to get back to the Outer Banks soon to see all the things there are to see and do. We had a problem with brakes squeaking on the way home, not knowing if it was our truck or the...

Another Southern language lesson.... And then there's that other wonderful southern nugget for the times when you are really are holding back your true feelings for the other person so you just sugar-up your voice and say "Well bless your heart!". I guess that's the northern equivalent to...

Luau Hoopla Update Here's an update on the folks that I have heard from and are willing to share their tropical drinks with you. I have 5 people on the list. If you want to be included, let me know your site number and the type of drink you'll be making. Hudson referenced the Hoopla being at...

Our clan will be there Thursday by early afternoon (if all goes as planned), so for those of you who have trouble backing that rig of yours into your site, I'm available for hire at a low price. I'm known around these parts for getting our rig into some really tight spots. I wear my...

Your house sounds like a destination location! So just how many rigs will fit in your drive, on the street and on the lawn? San Diego would be a great trip. We'll have to hear more about that one. I was raised there and am always ready to return to visit. We bow down to you, Oh Great Beer...

Oh, Hudson! Now you've done it! You've got Sam's attention with the Arrogent Bastard Ale ON TAP.:D He wants to know if there's taxi service to & from. Guess that's where the shoppers (eg. wives) come in to play, huh?:o Sam's really, really excited to meet you now.

We'll be bringing an elevated, screened firepit and firewood. We can donate some wood for the bonfire. We have a children's metal/wood shovel plus tongs & poker for fireplace, too.

You are a serious Disney fan.:) You'll have to sell Sam on becoming one. He's marginally interested in this vacation and is doing it mostly for the girls. He sees it as a serious money pit :( from which he'll never recover his cash, or something like that. I'd love to go just with him and...

I'm thinking... ...we should have a recipe collection .pdf to share these great drink ideas. Send me your recipes (or I'll just google the drink name, but might list the wrong ingredients) and I'll add it to the file for anyone who wants Luau Hoopla drink details.

And when... ...will those be ready to pour? I'll have a double.

WagonMistress is perfectly fine with me. According to dictionary.com's definitions of being chauvinistic, I guess I could be classified as a chauvinist, also, then.:cool: I will never lose my sense of humor, even when it's sometimes at my own expense!

Thanks a lot!:D

A Pig Pickin? If I decide to become Assistant Wagonmaster, do I get to help plan a pig picking? Eat pig in the mountains in the fall? Hmmm, this could be fun! My arm's feeling a little twisting going on... Can I be called the Assistant Wagonmistress? That would be a fun "Say It Five Times...

OT: Where can I find... ...the interactive map showing where you've traveled that y'all have in your signature lines? I looked around a little on this forum, but it's just so big and I'm so technologically impaired. Any help you provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tropical Drinks: "The Luau Hoopla" I'm game! This is for everyone who wants to participate. For those of us who enjoy an alcoholic tropical drink, let's make some drinks to share. For those of us who would like to taste a virgin tropical drink and for those of us who have kids who love...

Our homeschooled daughters are coming with us. Kelley's 14 and Caitlin's 10. All of you with kids, send me a private EM to see what interests your kids have and see if we can coordinate some things they'd like to do. My initial thoughts on what our girls like include bikes, sculpey, face...

I nominate Hudson... ...to be WagonMaster again next year for another fall trip to the same campground (or maybe another location in NC?) for a Carolina Pig Picking themed event. Just think...a celebration of all things bacon; a Carolina pig picking, bacon, baked beans, pigs in a blanket for...

Luau decorations Our girls (14 & 10) and I would love to help decorate. We'll be there Thursday afternoon. We've been wanting to have a Luau at the house for 2 years, so they're even more excited about the whole weekend now that there's a Hawaiian theme. -carolinachrissy

Parking Olympiads Too bad you're kidding, Gus! I love parking and usually do a pretty good job.:cool: We're all getting excited here and can't wait to meet everyone on the OBX! carolinachrissy and clan

RV Cover & Tow Mirrors For Sale Thanks for allowing us to post items here, Gus. We've got an Adco RV cover that fits 28'7" to 31'6" and is the SFS Aqua Shed fabric (for rainy climates, but not for intense sunny and snowy climates). We've had it for 4 years and only used it for one brief...

Hey Gus, Thanks for taking such good care of this group! Since this is our first rally, I'm wondering if we'll all get a list of these names and sites when we get there, so that we will know who's in our Rally and who isn't.

We also have a travel trailer and love it. Our goal one day is to have a fifth wheel, but we might have to rethink that in the future after reading your comments here. Great job, Wagonmaster on such an exciting location! We're really excited to meet y'all. Camp Hatteras's Sound side...

Another great Jellystone is Yogi Bear's in Natural Bridge, VA. It's also on the James River, with lots of kids stuff and water tubing on the river. Campsites were roomy in the upper section of the park, I guess that's true in lower section nearer the river, but double check.

Having been in NC since 1980, I have experience with all of your ideas. Idea 1: A charter fishing trip is great, but you'll rise real early, drink often (if that's your proclivity) and early in the hot sun, bounce around on the ocean and catch some great fish. In October, the King Mackerel...

Hey Hudson, Glad to know there will be another homeschooler (plus hopefully more kids!) for Kelley and Caitlin to hang out with. We love Girl Scouts, but due to the recent realignments and other issues with GSUSA, I've decided resign as a Co-Advisor to become a Frontier Girls leader...

Hi all, I'm a posting newbie here. DH Sam told me about this Rally and I was able to sign us up pretty quickly. We're coming in on Thursday 9/24 and departing on Sunday 9/27, although we might extend that by a day and leave Monday. We're in site #382 and we can't wait to get to know you all...
