Well, I picked up my truck this afternoon and all is well. If fact, I called back Eagle View and canceled my cancellation. Ann and I will be there tomorrow afternoon. We have the same spot 232. See you all there.

My thanks to all the attendees for supporting the Arizona Chapter Rally at Fort McDowell and making this a great time for all. I think we all gained a few pounds, listened to a few new stories and met some great new friends! This rally concludes the 2016 Rally schedule for Arizona but the start of 2017 is only a few months away. Remember the Havasu Balloon Festival Rally Jan 10-15 is next up on the schedule. It doesn't seem possible this rally was scheduled 2 years in advance and is already around the corner!
Safe Travels to everyone! I will see you in Las Vegas in a few days!

What a great rally!!! We had a lot of fun and are very glad we came. When we planned on this trip we decided to combine visiting the rally with visiting with family and friends and that was a good idea. Thanks to Gary and the RAT team member for all their hard work and to everybody else for akin us feel welcome The 2017 Oklahoma spring rally is scheduled for 4/20 to 4/23/201 in Vanita, Oklahoma. That s about midway between Tulsa ad the Missouri border on I-35. There are 30 sites blocked for the rally and reservations won't b taken until January. They will go quickly. You will be welcome. See you then!!!

Thank you Garry for putting on another fun rally. With myself being so busy working on the Vegas rally, I for one appreciated the blocks of non-planned time during the rally. It helped me work, yet not miss anything. As always, it was great to see some familiar Heartlanders and meet a few new ones.

As an aside, I'm considering a route to Vegas and 93 to I-40 looks okay. It's 100 miles shorter than I-17 to I-40 to 93. Does anyone have towing experience on 93 from Phoenix to Vegas?

Travel safe everyone and see many of you in Vegas!

Jim Beletti,
The route to Las Vegas via Highway 93 is the best route from Phoenix to Las Vegas. I live in Kingman and travel both to Vegas and Phoenix via 93 pulling my 42' Big Country. Have a safe trip.

Gary and all-

We are so glad we were able to attend the Rally - this was only our second Rally and I must say we wish we were going to Vegas. It was great to meet some new people and discuss Heartland topics and many other things.

You were a great host and in addition it is always a blessing to meet a fellow Viet Nam Vet - Welcome home brother-

Blessings to you both! Safe Travels

Re: EVENT: AZ Chapter Rally Ft. McDowell (Phoenix)- 9/21/2016 to 9/25/2016

Ann and I got home early this afternoon after a great 6 days at the Fort McDowell Rally. We made home just in time for a huge rain storm (containing hail) that rolled through the area. I am glad we were not on the road at the time. We are looking forward to Lake Havasu. Hope you all have a great time in Las Vegas.

Hey Ted....Theo gave me a few dollars to play for him! Let's see if 9 lives works on the crap tables!
Happy you made it home okay. It's been raining down here off and on for 2 days.
