JohnD & Cathy:
Safe Travels! Can't wait to see you both. Enjoy the trip and give me a call if you need anything.
I will arrive early Monday morning and just park off to the side until my site is ready.
The Resort is doing a fabulous job for the Rally! You are going to love the facilities and all they are
allowing us to use in the way of Meeting Rooms and the Pot Luck area.
Kathi from Colo is bring lots of Fireball and cinnamon Whiskey, lots of wine and who know what else...I guess she found out the group
likes anything sprinkled with alcohol.
Be Safe, see you both in a few days!!!!!!!!!
BE Watchful at the resort in Elephant Butte....The late night security isn't very good and when staying there after CC Rally, Rick had his large mud flaps
taken off his truck.

Got my rig out of storage today and while backing up in front of the house the wife noticed something wrong with the rear tire on the door side. Got of the truck and low and behold have a very large bubble on the inside of the tire. So call around to find 4 new tires and get them on tomorrow. Had Goodyear Marathons on and went with Maxxis this time. So when I get to Tucson will have new shoes on the rig.
Thank god the wife was good eyes.

I think folks are going to like this KOA. Had a get together of old retired folks last night in Tucson, and old friend told me he is staying at Lazy Days and it is a great park. Clean, well laid out, and secure. So looking forward to getting there, albeit a day late.

Update: Rodeo Day
We have had 12 cancelations for the Rodeo and Charter bus.
All these have been paid for as there are no refunds. One attendee was refunded since the date was far enough out to re sell his tickets.
Since that time, the others have been very short notice. As mentioned in the initial posting, this is a charter and tickets were paid in full by me
prior to everyone's participation. So no refunds will be made.
Most of the attendees have gifted their tickets and so far we have gifted three couples for free attendance to the Rodeo and Charter bus.
I have 5 tickets left to be gifted....two tickets will include the Charter bus and the balance you will have to drive to the Rodeo fairgrounds
which is about 5 miles away form the KOA.
I will make an announcement at the Rally on each evening prior to the Rodeo to give these ticket out. If you are interested, let me know at the
Rally, not on this THREAD. It has become a nightmare to try to keep up with the cancellations and keep the posting current.
So if interested, just see me at the Rally....Thank you to all who have gifted their tickets and for those requesting a refund, I hope you understand.
See you in a couple of days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Safe Travels.

John, we are in Elephant Butte tonight and it is great weather. We met several CO folks here who are snowbirds. We are headed to Eastern AZ for the weekend. See you Mon. and safe travels. We fought the bad head winds from Trinidad to Albuquerque yesterday and mileage was not good.
