MYRTLE BEACH II RALLY

[Scott]

Well the second annual rally has ended with many birds leaving
yesterday (Sunday) and several leaving today. There were 24 total
BlueBirds in attendance. The oldest in attendance was the Desimone's
1977 FC, the newest was the Brody's,Lazar's,Reddon's, or the Davis's
(quite honestly I am not sure and do not want to offend anyone!)
Several, folks did not sign up but showed up which was a really great
suprise. Several saw how our unstructured, structured rally was
achieved and they loved it. Sleep late, Eat tons and laugh alot. After
all, what other rally have you seen folks walk around in their PJ's!!

The general concensus was truly "WANDERFUL"

We had several people that came to the campground to "look at vintage
coaches" because they saw us on TV. It was great. We even had some
folks that heard about it and came because they are looking to
purchase
a BB.

I started a new tradition. A "BROKEN BUT HERE" AWARD. With the help of
Guy Smalley, who drew and framed the award, we came up with the idea
of
making an award that will be handed out every year to the "person that
had the most mechanical problems on the way to this rally" I will post
a copy of the award for everyone to see. By the way the FIRST
recipiant
was Bob and Jean Benner, their PT blew a power steering line 2 miles
from the campground. Tom Meservey and myself got Bob back on the road
to the rally, and he spend the better part of the day replacing the
line.

The Saturday nights pot luck was second to none. Peggy Meservey pulled
together the best ever. Everyone had a great time.

Campfires were attended by many. Lots of ideas were exchanged and we
decided the annual Myrtle Beach Rally will just have to continue. By
the way Pirateland Campground truly went out of their way to make
everyone comfortable, more than once maint stopped by to see if we
needed "anything". All the different birds were just beautiful, flags
flying, wheels shiniing, good times.

Both Judi and I are flattered that we had so many folks make the
effort
to attend this rally. We met many "new" friends that already seem like
old pals. We actually discussed the diversity of the folks, older,
younger, retired working, totally different carreer paths, ALL with a
common hobby! THINK ABOUT IT. That is truly a testament to this whole
community.

I will be posting some pictures for everyone to see..you gotta see
this!!

Thanks again to all attending and those that did not ...plan on it
next
year...it is gonna be better!

SEE Y'ALL IN MAXTON.
