lappir Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Ok, my date was off. It felt like a Sunday yesterday morning, but clearly it was not. The official Start of the Rally is today at noon. The early arrivers were allowed early check in and are now in possession of their name tag, T-shirt or shirts and the latest schedule. They were also given a sneak peek at the Auditorium which will be utilized this year for many of the seminars. I attended the Car Show in downtown Hutch and found this lovely. She didn't win the contest, but it was a panel of 4 judging and not a "Popular" vote. Visited with "Steve" and got a tour of the "Shop". If you get the chance it's quite an interesting building and equipment. Lots of new people here this year, several LGT's and some very nice New Trucks. Finally a shout out to Warren. Once again he is Mr. Fix it for many at the rally. Restoring heat for those who suffered with no heat on the coldest night so far. Providing a Movie to be viewed last night in the Auditorium "Ford vs Ferrari" and for getting the Huge White Tarp to show it on. Almost filled the entire stage. I took a video, but apparently not a still photo. Will see if I can post a link to the video. Looks like it's here.

lappir Posted October 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Got to get to the Kitchen to flip the pancakes so that's it for this morning. It's been a great rally, lots of new folks and a Whole lot of vehicles in the photo shoot as you might see. I didn't climb to the the top of the Grandstand and that's where the Official Photo was taken. Have seen a few views and it's impressive.

lappir Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 One of the late arrivals. Not a late arrival, but finally got a chance to walk around. Why would they put it in a compartment????? For ease of Service. Smart Idea Cole!!!!!!! Not that they so far need much. Modern Cooking with a Vintage touch. Cook Books from my Mother's collection. Should I or shouldn't I? That is the question, and the final photo of today. Friday the 13th I see.

lappir Posted October 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 This years rally is coming to an end. It was once again a fun, educational and very much enjoyable week. A surprise this year came to the organizers but didn't seem to faze them. A Wedding was scheduled in the same space for Friday night. Some of the attendees were kind enough to include me in their "Selfie". The Father and the Bride dance. Room for Smart car and Motorcycle. Owners designed and sewed the bright yellow cover and tell me there is also a two piece hand made "Quilt" under the cover to keep the bike warm and safe. Notice anything about this Jeep? RVSEF will be busy today after breakfast weighing the rigs as they depart. Will try to get some photos and video of the process if anyone is interested. Hope the Friday the 13th was good to all. Sad that it's going to be overcast for the partial Eclipse of the Sun today.

Wrknrvr Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Thanks for all the photos and information you have provided. The last time we were there was in 2012. Although I do watch what is going on there each year. We have decided to spend this winter in Montana. We do miss such gatherings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike5511 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 It would be nice if the "official group photo" was posted on this thread as well as all those individual videos that were taken on picture day.

Darryl&Rita Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 I don't remember seeing an actual picture, but there's several drone videos out there.

One of these days I hope to come across a photo (if someone will email it to me!) and I will post it here. I didn't climb all the stairs to get to the top of the Grandstand. Did it once several years ago and then had to run back down to get into the group photo. Maybe I'll learn to photoshop myself into them. Not! Some of those who still check the forum are still on Facebook and maybe could post here. It is more work. If I had a better memory with names I could possibly send you to a YouTube channel where a video or two may be available. Attending the actual event is much more fun than just looking at photos, but I agree photos are better than not being there and not having a photo or two to see.
