KathyF Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Jonathan and I had a blast for the weekend! This was our first trip in Tinkerbell, and I can't think of a better way to launch our lives with her. We enjoyed the setting (redwoods, river), the company (lots of good people and dogs), wonderful food (and lots of it), wine (and lots of it!), and the help and advice. Special thanks to Greg and Katherine for arranging and hosting. The touches of the twinkle lights and table cloths were great - and it's nice to know we would have been warm with the heater had we needed it. The fire pit was great too (can't remember if that was Larry's or Greg's?). We learned A LOT about Tink!!!!!! Our water heater is now working; thank you, Gassy Guy Dave!. And we have weathered our first dumping of the tanks; thank you to Larry for the loan of your hose and to the whole committee for cheering us on, laughing with/at us, and documenting this momentous occasion. Betty, I appreciated the "womanly tips" - I'll definitely be making some of those window covers you showed me. Perhaps we can have a woman-only Rally sometime. I'll be adding my pictures to Dave's Picasa album as well. We're hooked and will definitely be regulars for this Rally. We're also thinking we'd like to start hosting a Rally up here in the North SF Bay area, maybe starting next year. What a great group; thanks for the memories.

Gulfstream Greg Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 It was great to have the both of you and every one else there! A bunch of great folks! Not sure what the dates will be next year yet. Remember that Betty and Larry have one in April at Big Sur! Already looking forward to next year. Keep me posted if you decide to host one so that I can put it on the main site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christine Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi Kathy Sounds like you had a very nice time at the rally. I'm still trying to find my way around this site and can't seem to get very far. I post something and then I can't find it later on!! I'll keep trying. My friend Val and I got our Toy this fall and are preparing to go for a trip to the US around March 2010. We're thinking of going as far as California. We would both like to attend a rally somewhere along the way to get to know some of the members. I'll keep an eye on the rally topic and hope that someone will be hosting one in the spring. May be we'll get a chance to meet you, Jonathan and Tinkerbell. Chrisitne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
