See you all in a few hours. We'll be the ones in the "pipsqueek" according to Diana! Going to look funny in between all the monsters.

What a great time! Thank you Kristy and Mark for putting on and hosting such a great rally. It was such beautiful weather and we met so many great people!

Kelly and I can't wait to see everyone up north in Monitor next month for the Washington Rally

Looks like everybody had a GREAT time. Will have to try and make it next year. Would have gone this year but grandson's graduation was at the same time down in So Cal.

Delicious breakfast this morning with breakfast burritos, juice, coffee and sweet rolls. Said see ya down the road to old and new friends leaving today but a few of us are staying for another day or two. Misty with showers today but warmer so not bad out at all. Good raffle after the pot luck or should I reverse those two. Lots of fun. I think Kristy signed up one or two new members for the HOC. Don't know why it started the Italic bit and can't get rid of it. Next for us is the Washington rally in Monitor, Washington.

Well we made it to Redcrest really nice campground in the Avenue of the Giants. Kristy your Rally was great totally worth the 900 mile drive. Great seeing old friends and making new ones. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone.

Thank you Everyone for coming to the rally. It turned out much better than I thought it would, but only because we got so much help from everyone. I want to give a special thanks to Debbie and Jerry Earls, Diana and Gary Rodman, Rod and Kelly Ditrich, Pat and Dave Hole, Gail and Ray Warness, Karol and PJ McGuire, and of course my husband Mark, for all of the help and support through the planning and implementing of this rally. I set some ambitious goals and you all helped me carry it off. Everyone else helped with whatever was needed, including the kids who did the raffle ticket drawing. They looked like they were having a blast!

Rod, the pictures look great and I know Bruce and Marge took more, so we should have a few to add later.

If anyone else took pictures, could you please post them and/or email them to me? I'm sure I need to get a Heartland Highlights article done and the photos tell a much better story than I can.

Now home for a couple of days before heading off to Casey's for the 4th. After that, the WA Rally. We'll see you there!!

Kristy,

As soon as I get home I am going to post them on the Rally Pictures section of the forum and include all of the pictures I took as well as any that others took and would like me to post.

Gail and I want to thank both you and Mark for hosting such an enjoyable rally, we had a good time visiting everyone, sightseeing and relaxing with the cool weather. We returned home Monday July 1 to 105 F and it has been in the 100's ever since. We had a good trip until we headed south on I 5 between Longview, WA and Portland when our right front Goodyear Marathon came apart, it was purchased last year in Utah when a tow max failed on our way to Gillette. Had to call Good Sam to get the tread off the axel. Purchased a replacement tire at 7 feathers truck stop and had no more tire problems on the way home. However, it was hot all the way south and made us all the more grateful for the cool weather we had enjoyed at Winchester Bay.

Sorry about the tire problems! We have been lucky so far and not had to deal with any of that other than what we discovered before hitting the road with tire bubbles in the OEM tires. We enjoyed seeing you guys and hope we ee you again before too long.

Here is a link to my photo album for most of the pictures at the rally Winchester Bay. Unfortunately there is a glitch in the system that is not allowing me to create an album in the Heartland Owners Gallery. As soon as that is fixed, I will put all of the 2013 Winchester Bay OR Chapter Rally pictures there. Sorry this is delayed all and I will let everyone know as soon as they are posted. In the meantime, if you have photo's that you would like included, please forward them to me by PM or by email.

Thanks Rod for doing this. I really appreciate it.

Okay, they fixed my permissions on the website, so I have created a 2013 Winchester Bay, Oregon Rally photo album under the Heartland Owners Gallery, which is located under tools, then HOG, then Rally's and then 2013 and then the Winchester Bay Rally Album. Sorry this took so long for me to get them posted. As I said earlier, if you have any photos that you would like me to post onto the album, please send them to me in a PM or via my email.

Kristy, Thanks for the great rally. Rick and I have been traveling around a lot and I'm sorry it took so long to extend our thanks. Had more truck problems in Roseburg, OR so wound up getting a new (2012) truck at the end of our trip. So the trip turned out to be more expensive than we planned. . Thanks to Rod for the pictures, and we are sorry we are going to miss the WA rally, but I'm sure it will be great. We do appreciate all the work you all put in to making these rally's happen.
Joyce and Rick

We are glad you enjoyed it. We are already starting to schedule and plan our rally for next year. Hopefully it will be even bigger and better!

Hello Mark and Kristy,
Thank you for a great time. This was our first rally and we had a wonderful time. We met a number of great folks and made new friends which we hope to cross paths with again. We enjoyed Wincherter Bay so much we're going back down in August for a week. Look forward to seeing you again.
Ric and Maria

It was good to meet you! Hopefully you can make it to more events in the future. There is never a shortage of good people and potentially good friends.

Kristy
