Momma & I have been up to the hospital the last couple of evenings to see "The Chief" (Retired CPO) and are happy to tell you that he seems to be doing extremely well, considering. They moved him out of the ICU on Monday (10th) and if all goes as planned he will be headed home on Friday (14th).
I've offered numerous times to roll his chair/bed up into the Cyclone so he could join us at the Rally but I keep getting those strange, no, mean looks from Karen (Chickie)!! I have new tie-downs and everythng!!

Thanks for the update Truckie...we were talking about Gary this morning...good to hear...I know he's in for some tough times (and has been through already!)...keep the prayers going everyone!!!!
Sun is out but calling for some rain tonight, but a good w/e... so we are thinking positive that we'll be dried out by then!!!!
and John cooked up a mean frittata... excellent!

Sounds like everyone is making the best of the weather. Dont worry, i will bring the sun with me.... We plan on pulling out tomorrow at 1 pm so we should hit the campground around 5. Never thought I would be spending my 10 year wedding anniversary pulling a camper, funny how life changes along the way.

Powerful prayers...Answered
Thank you to all for the many prayers and well wishes for Gary's (RetiredCPO) recovery.
He is home and enjoying his new chair and old friend the XBOX Live.
He is now Cancer Free. He is in good health, very sore and has the aide of pain meds.
Truknutt [Dave] and Nona have been such good friends to watch over us.
It is true what Dave says, he did offer to put us up in the garage of the cyclone. However, he also said, if you two even think of eating the ice cream, I will have to "tie you both down".
Hmmm...tie-downs and everything, well of course I gave the look.
We are thinking of you all and wish you all a great weekend.None

Hi everyone...we miss you guys already!!! What a great time we had and I thank all of you who came for helping to make it a big success. I enjoyed meeting new couples as well as getting re-aquainted with those of you who went to the Goshen rally. Jim and I had a super time and we can't wait to get together again...
For those of you who wanted to but just couldn't make it this time...stayed tuned as we have 2 rallies planned (in addition to the big one in Nashville)... we recruited Freckes as NY Chapter leader...and Deb from NJ and Gus from Va already have 2010 rally planning in the works.
We brought 6 new club owners into the family....3 were Heartland owners who just happened to be at the KOA this w/e and had no idea there was a rally going on...(until I reeled them in! I have a way of doing that...)... and 3 others were our rally-goers who decided they also needed that handsome black plaque on the back of their rig...
So welcome to: Bob and Denise, Dean and Kathy (dnkdancer), Greg and Beth (Freckles), Donna and Skip (no code name yet as I just reeled them in), Jerry and Donna, and Chris (family members who own a Cyclone and North Trail...minding their own business until I knocked on their door...)
Stay tuned for more info... I imagine Jim will keep this thread active until the end of the year when the new rallies are posted for 2010.
Again...thank you all for a successful rally. All I did was put the date and the sites together, a few other record-keeping things... but it was all of you who brought the fun, the laughter, and the friendship to us.
Peace out!

Home again, rig washed, emptied and put away . We're already missing all our new friends. John and I talked about you all the way home. We want to extend a special thanks to Cheryl & Jim for their organizational skills and hospitality. This was our first rally and we had so much fun that we can't wait for the next opportunity to get together with y'all in OBX.
Also want to extend thanks to Jim Beletti for the information needed to put on our own rally in NJ.
Jon, Patty, Jerri and Bill it was so great to spend the week with laughing with you and Bill we won't comment on that now as someone might be eating!
There's just not enough ways to say thank you to everyone at the PA Rally so thanks again.

We're home - safe and sound. Saw 3 other Sundances on the way home (one was Flying Dutchman in a reststop on I-81 South. Sorry I blew right by Eric).
It was a great rally. We learned a valuable lesson. It's hard to mix rally and grandkids. But we had a wonderful time. Can't wait to get back together with everyone.
Still sites available for the Sept rally on Cape Hatteras.

Just 5 of us diehards left here (me, jnphobe, bill40, hertzberg and porthole). Most of us are going to the Red Lion Cafe for dinner tonight.
Jim and Cheryl - WOW! Nice job of planning and putting on your first rally. You've set the bar high for yourselves. I am sure the upcoming rallies you are planning will be well attended. Not only by those who came to this one but by those in PA and surrounding states that hear about this one!
I had a great weekend of fun and meeting many new product owners and many I already knew.

Cheryl and Jim, what a super job you did organizing and supervising the PA rally. Cheryl you are truly tops!!!None
Dorothy and I had a great time, WOW!!!! Our third rally this year with two more to go. We all certainly have way more in common than just being owners of a Heartland rig. The comradeship we shared these past few days is treasured. We hope to see "all y'all" real soon. As Gus mentioned, there are still spaces in Hatteras, and I believe the SC chapter would welcome you in Myrtle Beach. If not then ....., we'll see you in Nashville.
