Lone Star Birds Christmas Rally

[mikebulriss]

Well, the Lone Star Birds Christmas Rally has come and gone. Attendance was lighter than normal due to the weather. I believe that all of the Birds that needed to head back north wisely opted to stay over until Monday to see if it warmed up and the north Texas roads cleared. Saturday never reached above freezing in the southern hill country of Texas. The cold stressed bodies and Birds, and seriously exercised heating systems. Transfer switches shorted out, doors closed and never opened again until someone entered through a dismantled roof vent, and air suspension systems were slow to rise and in one case immediately leaked down after arriving home, not to rise again. The freezing cold took its toll and made it a challenging weekend for everyone! But there was much enjoyed camaraderie and renewal of old friendships by the attendees.
