Delaware Rally set for 2nd weekend in August. Rally Description: Dry camping, Large grass area for Rally for 40+ coaches. Fresh water on site, Ice on site, and outdoor gathering area. “Ok putting the feelers out” Let us know what you think. Should it be kept simple (bring your own) just a place to park and gather? Or keep it the same as the past? http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=8447.0 http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=4197.0 http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=734.0 We are expecting a large turnout this year and would like to know what you think. |

Ed, I will have to check with Cindy to see if we can make it that weekend. If we do come - I vote keep it simple, place to gather, have fun, bring covered dishes, that sort of thing... the key is everyone should have fun and nobody shold have to feel like they are catering. Just my opinion... John |

Hi Guys, We attended the Delaware rally in 2007 and we still relive that rally in my bus rally videos on (youtube) a couple of times per week at least such as I am this moment as I listen to the music on the 2007 Delaware youtube video. If you want to go to a rally within the northern borders or any place you live to attend you cannot go wrong. Here is the address on youtube to click on to see or remember what you missed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLUTJVjVi6U One of the many reasons I loved being with the Delaware gang at Bruce's residence is we did not have to worry about entertaining the kids and worry where they were all day long with all the schools being closed now etc. Attending a bus rally is one time I enjoy for ourselves, sounds a little selfish but just eating, drinking, singing and raising hell for a weekend is so good for the mind and soul especially with great people as busnuts. How often do we get to do that, not enough. This Delaware rally has a very special meaning to us in particular and some know the reason why. Keeping it simple is good idea, but the girls (Roberta, Kathy, Sue & Linda) preparing the food and snacks had way too much more fun than we knew working in that kitchen (Jello Shots sure helped also). With Roberta being there you know you will eat goooooooooooooddddddddddd!!!!! You may have to dry camp but you won't be in your rig very long per day or night as you will be partying most of the time there, just ask Al & Linda whom really enjoyed it there as much as anyone. There is a pool for the kids that is not over 4 ft. deep so you can feel secure the kids are fine and they will eat & swim all day believe me. Kids remember the pool is for adults after 9 PM. or there bouts. Everyone sings Karaoke and before you know it daybreak comes and it is time to go to bed for a nap when the temperature is cooler. Then you start all over again. Go view the youtube video posted above and enjoy. Sometimes we talk about buses, but just visiting and catching up for the fast and few hours of the bus rally weekend is priceless. Consider attending if it is within your travel means and remember, the price of fuel is still climbing again!! (Good Grief). Travel while we can. Safe travels to you and your families, Leave your "GUNS" & problems at home for this rally!! Gary (Message edited by garylee on June 11, 2009) (Message edited by garylee on June 11, 2009) |

Darn, going to miss it again this year. We are involved in some community deal. Hopefully, I can finally make it next year. |

Huh? where'd you get that from? If I missed it, he probably meant grease guns... you won't have time to use them. |

Dave, My statement about leaving your guns at home was meant as a "funny" in a way that relates to the 2007 rally. I made that statement back then to warn anyone from the south that legally carries a gun in their bus not to do that when they come north as carring guns without a permit is a real serious offense up there and it was just to make them realize that. I was trying to inform everyone of this so if they got stopped for any reason they would not have unexpected problems with the law. The leave your problems at home statement means just that. Come to the rally at Delaware for great fun, people, food and think of nothing but those few hours of an entire weekend that you cannot control anyhow, (Home Problems). Come to Delaware for a great time and nothing more & think of nothing else. That is my full explanation of my comments and nothing more is or was intended. Gary |

Gary why would you warn just those of us from the South? Do you think yanks own guns? Wait them yanks won one and you probably think us good ole boys want to get even right? Hmm, I'm a yank by birth and only time I carried my gun was to protect what money I had on me! Not to worry! My money has gone and I pawned the gun! Now its a fair fight! LOL Ace |

"nothing more is or was intended" Thanks for the explanation. I thought there would be more to the story (and there was) and didn't want to jump to any conclusions. |
