Dave, it looks like some fortunate work scheduling is going to occur that would allow me to take a couple of days off in late April, so as of right now we are planning on coming to the rally. We are scheduled to be on site 180, arriving on Thursday, departing on Sunday.

 

[jbeletti]

Wow! A flurry of reservations. Cool!

 

[davebennington]

Gus thet is great, glad you and Deb can make it.

Here is a update from the campground as of April 15 all the sites that have NOT been claimed by Heartlanders will be turned back into the campground for other people to use. So if you are thinking about coming to the rally the time is getting very short.

Dave

Oh Randy - Santha always knows what we "want" for a potluck. Her usual of course See you guys and the 16 paws at 4 Paws.

Jim

We sent Dorothy what Santha had suggested making for the potluck and she said fine. Dorothy wanted a
creative name. Santha suggested Beletti beans. I like it. Randy, Santha & the Poodles

...Santha suggested Beletti beans. I like it. Randy, Santha & the Poodles

I resemble that remark! Actually, that's the first dish I tasted of Santha's back in what, '06 or '07. Seems like forever ago. Make whatever the Poodles want - I'm sure I'l like that too See you in Cherokee!

Jim, Nancy & the Yorkies

We are fortunate to have Butch and Karen Burson from RV's For Less in Knoxville be our dealer sponsor for our Eastern Regional Rally. Butch will host a seminar on Saturday morning where he will demonstrate the Reico Wireless Leveling System, and CorrectTrack, an axle alignment correction kit. Butch will have available discount coupons for these products for those who have interest in them. Butch will also answer any of your questions regarding the care and maintenance of your trailer. You will find that Butch and Karen are great folks with a passion for RV'ing that we enjoy as well.

I have also been told that following the Saturday evening catered meal we will all have an opportunity for "lady luck" to bestow some really great door prizes. Odds are really good for those attending to win a TireMinder tire pressure monitoring system that will come with 4 wireless transmitters, and a digital numerical read-out that can monitor up to 22 tires. If that's not enough, how about winning a 5 night camping stay in Pigeon Forge, TN. Great prizes for some lucky winners. But you have to be there to have a chance. There is still time and camp sites available for those that would still like to sign-up. It will be a fun and informative rally, and you will have a great time with fellow Heartlander's. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for the update Eric, It sounds like RVsforLess are rally going to put on a great seminar. In addition they came up with some very good door prizes.

I called the campground today and they gave me an update on the attendees.

 

[porthole]

There was an "incident" in Gatlinburg last night that you should be aware off. May mean nothing by the time the rally starts, but I would stay out of the water. It woul dbe way to cold for me, but we would have let the dogs go running in the streams.

[Nabo]

The river next to the sewer plant that had the accident doesn't cross the mountain range to Cherokee. The river floss down the western side of the mountains toward Chattanooga. Cherokee will be fine.

 

[davebennington]

I just got off the phone with the folks at Cherokee and they said the same thing the spill will not effect the campground or surrounding area at all.

Dave

 

[porthole]

Just put it out for the info, I know the creek. Gatlinburg is a popular destination, as well as a decent campground to hit along the way.

 

[trdeal]
