Well, it's Saturday, a bit before noon. A few highlights of my time here near Santo...
WEDNESDAY
When we arrived on Wednesday, we went with the early arrivals for dinner not far from here at Natty Flat Smokehouse. Yum!
Nancy and I went to Mineral Wells that evening for supplies and we saw the historic Baker Hotel.

THURSDAY
Around lunch time, Jay C invited us to join he, Stella and Dan and Karen H to go to Weatherford to David's Stove Shop for some shopping and lunch. We didn't realize it was a half-hour away or we may not have went. But we're SO GLAD we did. What an interesting place. The only way I can describe it is "eclectic".
In the evening, many of us gathered in the rally hall for visiting and dominoes.

FRIDAY
Mid-morning a group of ladies were in the rally hall having a Mary Kay party. At the same time, Dan M, Terry H and I were pulling my demo coach apart to learn more about how the residential refer is installed, plumbed and wired. Dan M leading the team of owner/contributors in making a Residential Refrigerator User Guide. We learned a lot.
In the evening, most of the rally group headed east a bit to Brazos River Catfish Cafe for dinner. I think we overwhelmed the restaurant with our group size but they did a great job accommodating us and the food was really good.
After dinner, back in the rally hall, we had the rally meet and greet. Nancy A went through the agenda and has us go around the toom to make introductions. A good number of people stuck around for snacks, visiting and dominoes

SATURDAY (morning only)
Thus far today, we've had an amazing day. Club HQ hosted a rally breakfast. Myself and 5+ men volunteers put on a nice feed for 50. Thank you men, thank you to those who brought other items and thank you Nancy A / Dave S for letting us do this. It was fun.

We enjoyed meeting you and your family! We look forward to seeing you at future rallies!
Jerry and I want to thank everyone at the Rally for making us "newbies" feel so welcome. We had a wonderful time meeting all of you. This was our first Heartland rally and we simply can't wait until the next one. We learned so much from you folks, and Jerry has already realized that he will be pulling out the checkbook to make some of the mods we saw on your various rigs. What a fun weekend!!
Safe travels to everyone!!

Thank you all for coming and making this rally a success! We couldn't have done it without you.
We delivered the Backpack Buddies donations to Tammy Lovell, who is over the program. She was thrilled with the donations....which amounted to $515.00. THANK YOU Heartlanders for your generosity!!!
We are thinking about next year and need your input on the location. Do you want to go back to Coffee Creek or go somewhere else? Also, are there any activities you would like to see included? Thanks so much for your thoughts.
Thanks,

As always, the rally was too short for us! We enjoyed meeting new folks, and visiting with old friends. Our first time at Coffee Creek -- the staff was great, facilities were super-nice, and a great time was had! Thanks to Dave and Nancy for leading our Chapter!!

Great rally. Spectacular job by Dave and Nancy.
Wrote about it and have some pictures in our travel blog here.
Appreciate all of the offers of help once my wife left town. Very thankful to have all of our Heartland friends.

Nancy and Dave you guys did an amazing job. We had a great time and met so many new friends. The donation amount was wonderful, proud of the Heartland family for that.
As for next year, no idea, but must say the Coffee Creek staff are wonderful, they sent someone to fix our problem and get us moving.
