That's why it's semi-official Duane. Now I just need to get DW to pare it down a little .

Gus just likes to keep us busy so we either sleep well OR stay out of the DINER

 

[PSF513]

JIM: We don't have first timers. Only folks who have never put up with us before

GUS: I can help guard the beer or food it you have insufficient or unqualified help

JIM: We don't have first timers. Only folks who have never put up with us before

GUS: I can help guard the beer or food it you have insufficient or unqualified help

Pete: Wouldn't that be like the fox guarding the henhouse?

 

[hillsonwheels]

Pete............No worries man............I'm volunteering to "hep" you with that guarding the beer and food detail. Even tho, having just worked as a civilian for the Navy, I know that you should never volunteer! Foxes????????Henhouses???????????? Come on Gus didn't you ever hear a used car salesman say..........TRUST ME???????? How's about if I just volunteer to watch Pete watch the beer??????:angel:

Dick

 

[Vtxkid]

Oh Gezzzz... now, there goes all the beer!!!

 

[boatto5er]

Oh Gezzzz... now, there goes all the beer!!!

I'll just have 'em watch Pete's beer...

 

[PSF513]

Since Dick & I will watch the beer, I was not going to bring any. That way, I don't have to leave my post. DICK: You with me?

 

[boatto5er]

Site maps so you can see how things are shaping up.

Could have sworn I asked - posted yesterday here.

Anyway, the answer to my question is in the picture below.

Watching beer isn't any fun...How about we drink some!!!

 

[cjhicks]

Yes, hopefully not to scare anyone, but had they taken off on the opposing 90 degree runway, they would have hit somewhere very close to the campground. We just thank God they were not seriously injured, nor was anyone on the ground.

I am new to this but does anyone know if there are anymore spaces for the VA Beach rally? We will be picking up our very first travel trailer next Saturday and would love to attend the rally. We have attended rallies before with Dale and Michelle Heuer and had so much fun so decided that we would go ahead and get our own camper.

AmyMattJungeandtheboys, welcome to the forum and Heartland Family.
Just keep an eye on this thread and I am sure that Gus will have an answer for you soon.

Peace
Dave

 

[hillsonwheels]

Hi, I can't guarantee site availability, but I'd be very surprised if the campground didn't have a few sites still open. Please call them as soon as possible at 866-849-8860 and see what they have. Be sure to tell them you are with the Heartland Rally group. Right now we have attendees in three different areas of the campground, but the areas are all fairly close together. The last folks to sign up got put in the teens/20's/30's campsite area. We'd love to have you join us, so let us know what you find out by posting here as soon as you talk to the campground. Also please email me at g_funderburg@yahoo.com so I can get your full names, email address, and hometown information. Hope to see you soon!
