The ones they had were pork and they like lots of tenors in their boys choirs so don't let them get too big. Probably closer to ten. Ill ask next time I'm in Protovin or Spillville or Oran. Somebody always remarks,"why do you think they call it offal?"

Here is one trailer there that many will recognize, if it is not too small in this photo.

Thank you, Paul, for your efforts on this. It was good to finally meet people who had not been seen in a few years. And to find that we are all as quirky in person as we thought!

Gerda, I could not recognize you! It had been so long since I saw you --- on video! Much thanks to you that we bought Escapes.

Also could not recognize Joan's 19' which she kindly showed as it is one of the very few with dinette and bed switched.

Adrian was nice enough to show us his 5.0 --- Alf's! Adrian was the first person we saw there.

Cheryl, we would have seen your trailer again if we had only known there were cookies!! Good to see Stephanie, too.

Eric, thought maybe you had a new wife. No, I couldn't recognize Mary either!

Leon, almost all of that material is cut up and in our dinette. Thanks so much! So good to see you after all of this time.

Wish we had seen some others who could not come or left right away. Dave and Rita and Mary and Bill were missed. Glad to see some new owners who were there from Michigan and elsewhere.

And--you all didn't eat enough cookies--we had too many leftovers!
Tash, if you would have brought them to happy hour they sure would have vanished! They were great - I surely would have eaten more to save you having to haul them home!

Cathy - we loved seeing your brand new 21 and these pictures are wonderful to see. All those beautiful 21's have been dancing about in my mind ever since the rally. If we ever get this native prairie restoration done and cut down on the massive veggie garden so we can get out on longer trips....... maybe

It was wonderful to meet all of you, finally!! Thank you Paul and Janet for putting this together!! Next year we are in again for sure. I get the impression though that those rallies are dangerous; my partner Jarrod got quite intrigued by e.g. the bathroom in the 21'. Also we loved the front storage box and all the modifications people had done. The Alf shelf is just great!!!! I think if we would go more out with the Escape, a 21' would be in our future or the 5.0 TA. But we are still full time working, and living the dream by simply living in the country.

Adrian, you are known in our house now as the "Mr Nice Guy" and "Timmie"; the girls really enjoyed hanging out at the camp fire with you and telling the ghost stories!

Cathy, I am glad my video helped in your decisions! I don't regret getting Cafe Egg, which is a family member. It was very nice to meet you, and I hope next time we can chat for some time longer. Floating Cloud is gorgeous by the way!!!

Paul and Janet, it was wonderful to see you again!! Fond memories from picking our Escapes up in St Ste Marie ON were relived!! And Janet, the cookies.... YUMMMMMM!!!!

Hi all:
We are excited about attending this rally next fall too. As you may know, we did not get to camp at this one last September but did stop in for a couple of hours. However, we will make every effort this fall to make up for lost time and......... Provide unlimited Summer Shandy for all Canadians in attendance. I note that Jalpeno Spam is on sale this week at the local supermarket and will be stocking up in case ole blackjack is in the neighborhood too.

Tammy, I distinctly remember you and Reace there at ETI with Reace acting as if you were coming this past time. Now I know to blame Reace!. Hope you can make it next year. It is really a small deal compared to yours and some others but you might want to go to the Midwest for a change.

Hi Tammy,
According to post#96, it is September 30 and about 25 miles north of this years location. I already put this one on my calendar for next year, a little competition for the Osoyoos Rally is good for everyone.
