This was a great rally! Too much excitement Thrusday morning when Bruce and Georgene's coach caught fire but we all pitched in and hopefully made it a little better. It didn't slow them down much and they'll have t back in shape soon. We had lots of fun visiting and playing with all our GMC Family. We really didn't want to leave.

We had the best WiFi service that we've ever had at a campground. It was flawless!


Here's a quote from Chuck Ellis:

Rally was great, started off cold and wet, ended up warmer fast and fun. Several folks had problems from severed brake lines to faulty isolators and alternators, fan clutch and squealing fan belts. Due to the chilly weather there was a great deal of discussions on best methods for heating the coaches with electric heaters.  Just exactly what we needed, another darn decision to be made!!!

A bonfire resulting from faulty electric wiring in Bruce and Georgene's coach, pretty much damaged or took out the interior from the drivers seat back. Near disaster but no one was injured and were able to drive it home. Lots of folks pitched in and did an excellent job of cleaning it out and making it ready for departure.

Food was good with lots of left overs for some to munch on for lunch the next day.

The birthday bash was a roaring success and I was able to obtain a fantastic new hair piece with out painful surgery.

Lexie and I personally enjoyed the outcome from the Bolo contest, thus enabling us to recoup our Bingo losses. This was our first round trip without our hearts in our throat  from near engine fuel failure problems. The fuel gauge took its last breath but who cares.  

Looking forward to Patterson, LA gathering.
Chuck and Lexie

Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 09:52
Subject: Pre-Rally visit to Guthrie OK

Nine of us went to Guthrie for four days, endured 10 inches of rain and scrambled out just before they closed the bridge due to flooding, to scout out Guthrie for our next rally. In spite of the weather we all had a great time. If you like history, shopping, great eating, did I say antique mall shopping, historic old buildings, interesting folks and museums of all sorts - you are going to love Guthrie.

You might want to consider coming early or staying a couple of extra days. The website www.guthrieok.com will give you a head start. The itinerary will be on the Classics' website as soon as we can squeeze everything into it. It is really hard to know what to leave out!

Y' all put the Guthrie Classics GMC Rally (October 25-28. 2007) on your list of things to do and places to go.
