I believe the 2008 Heartland SE Rally at Myrtle Beach was a success. We had a great time. I would like to thanks Willow Tree campgorund in Longs, SC for providing such a nice place to hold a rally. If anyone is looking for an outstanding campground with large level sites near MB, please consider Willow Tree. I would also like to thank Scott and Ray at Camper Country, the Heartland dealer in MB for putting on a great RV Clinic and allowing us to tour the new Heartland campers.
To give everyone a little run down on what went on during this weekend rally, Friday was the arrival date. Some were able to get there a day or so in advance and really get to enjoy the beautiful weather. Saturday we carpooled down to Camper Country for the RV Clinic. Ray covered topics like winterizing, roof cleaning, inspecting and re-sealing of calking and many other topics. Did you know that the way to remove the bugs from your coach is to wet the front of the rig,and dampen a regular old drier sheet. Rub the sheet across the bugs and they come right off. I'll be trying it out tonight! After the time at Camper Country, many of us stopped for lunch on the way back to Willow Tree. Late afternoon we all met for a wine tasting. Everyone brought a bottle of their favorite wine to share. That lead us to dinner. Hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken and eveyone brought side dishes. Talk about good eating! During the evening we all joined in at a campfire and shared experiences. On Sunday we all met for a fairwell breakfast and initial planning for next year.
The vote was to meet again on the 1st weekend in October 2009. That will be Oct. 2-4. We may meet again at Willow Tree but have elected to keep the options open for the time being. If anyone has another suggestion, we would love to hear it. Stay tuned as we will be posting pictures form the '08 rally shorlty hopefully in the "HOG" section of this forum.
Again, thanks to all that attended and we look forward to seeing all of you and many more next year!
