So far this is a great rally!! Great people, great birds and a great time being had by all! We all went over to the Biltmore today. Man, what a place! The architecture and craftsmanship is truly mind boggling. Technology may be good, but craftsmanship is GREAT! I'm not sure one could see it all in a year, much less a day. The campground where we all are is small, but very well done and convenient to everyplace. There were more than a few folks standing around watching "the big dogs" pull in! We had a great tech session this morning after a tasty breakfast cooked by some of the best cooks this side of the Mississippi! To top it all off, we had a really tasty BBQ dinner at a private resort in the local hills of Asheville. It almost rivaled the Biltmore. Good friends, good food and good birds. Tough to get any better. WOW!

Jenn& Darrel, what a time we have been having here in Ashville
we all wish you were here ,there is no doubt, this is a great place for a fall rally . I could see this rally going 10 days or more , only problem would be finding a campground to hold us all . I was talking to the owner the other day, and she said, from this weekend on they are 100 % booked .David and Susie have been awesome Rally host ,we really liked the way there have started there 3 beautiful children on the road as future BB owners, and rally host. tomorrow we will tackle my wheel studs . sure wish Mark B was here , I don't even think he would allow me to do any of the work .
Tonight while eating in Ashville we all discussed the value of the BB forums . we spoke of how one day, our coaches will be the most sought after coach ,on the market . I could not help to think , this will only happen when as a family, we all come together with open minds and share our love and knowledge , of a true masterpiece . . PICS TO FOLLOW ERNIE
