I talked with Lindsey yesterday at PC.  She said there are 48 rigs signed up!.  

Yeah, that means we get a 48% discount!

See everyone there. 

Woo hoo! Great news, see you there.

We have 221 but they told me this is not "guaranteed".

Pecan Park Riverside RV has assigned sites to attendees.  You can call them and ask if you don't know yours.    We are in Site 219.

I am optimistic I can postpone my jury duty and attend the rally. Still looking for an agenda. Am I looking in the wrong places to find one? Less than 4 weeks out now.

They don't put out the agenda much ahead of time.  A whiteboard set up in the gathering hall lists each day's schedule.

I'm IN !  Made the reservation

Bad news came in the form of a jury summons today. U.S. District Court on March 22. It says I need to be available for 30 days so I am changing my status to a Maybe. I have never been selected for a jury but there is always a first time. This really goofs up our plans for our annual April Hill Country getaway. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Most courts will allow you to reschedule your time, as long as you aren't trying to get out of service.

Tell the judge you have reservation on a cruise!

Worked for me!

I wish we could... The PC rally is scheduled every year the same time as Sun 'n Fun air show in Lakeland, FL. Marcia is committed, as chair person for all the volunteers at the workshops and will be dry camping in a cow pasture for a week or so preparing for opening day and stay till after the show closes.

At the present time, Angela and Gordon White of Truck Camper Magazine are camped in our front yard. They will be attending the PC rally. We went to our favorite Italian restaurant for pizza tonight.

The PC rally is open to anyone who is interested, regardless of ownership or type of RV or membership in any group.  Some don't even have a camper.  The Princess Craft owners just love TCs and thus the TC oriented rally.  

Last year, we ended up with about a dozen LOA members there.  It is a party with lots of other brand and size campers there.   One of the events is 'open house' afternoon where owners allow groups to view their mods and camper layouts.  It's almost worth going just for that, besides the music, food, seminars, tours and prizes.   

Below are some LOA members hanging out with Bob, the Marketing Director from Lance.

Peggy's rig, (way in back)

Bassthender's rig, (now probably up for sale since he just bought a 1191)

Still Working (Not) 's rig

Gsymes's rig (offsite pic)

Some of the prizes.  At the raffle, I WON that $300 Ice chest in the picture!

 Seminar

One of a couple of Tech Talk Seminars put on by the technicians from Princess Craft.   They had a signup sheet where, for about 30-45 minutes of 'Free Service', they would visit your camper to diagnose or even try to fix anything they could in that time.   

Recording artist band from Austin.

The January 27 facebook post by Princess Craft says they already have 28 TCs registered for the rally. Does that mean that it is Doug, me and 26 non LOA members?

san marcos is a an awesome place with the tubing down the river, the river walk, flea markets right up the road..
