We even have THREE, SoCal groups coming. I ve met them all and they will all fit in wonderfully.
 
 Jeanne, Bill, whatcha think about fitting in wonderfully with this group? Either the NNCers are a bit tamer IRL than they are on the boards, or... we are insane! Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!  

 So does this mean we get to be members of NNC (So Cal division)?  I can play a mean kazoo and have been known to throw a decent bocce ball (right Patricia?) I still haven t purchased my Dutch oven, though.  I was so inspired after oldmoose s contributions at the potluck for the Casitas rally, maybe I ll have one for El Chorro.  Only problem is that I will have to use one of oldmoose s recipes (maybe he won t recognize it if I make it?) hee hee.
 
 So, Scott, the check was sent on Monday.  I m hoping that you got it by now.
 
 We are off to Campland in San Diego this weekend.  Looks like it will be our first trip in the rain...one of those hybrids is sounding pretty good about now!

 Jeanne---absolutipositively.  Jacqui and Randy had such a good time with the NNC crowd that they joined right back up on the boards so they could hang around with their new found friends.
 
 Rain this weekend???  I think not.  So far in Ventura we have had perfect rain....started at 2:00 a.m. and had rained the 1/2 inch by 7:00, so it stopped.  Windy though.  Weather report shows the storm coming from the South.  If this is a tropical influence storm, I would hate to see one coming from the North.

 Well it must be a southern storm because it has been raining here on and off all day and it is coming down pretty hard right now.  I guess the climate in Ventura is a bit balmier than the San Fernando Valley. []

 I think we re Sick-Neff-Coughers.  Bring on that bocce ball!  I ll roll it up the tree trunk like last time.  (No, wasn t even aiming for the tree.  Didn t even know it was there.  Bwahahahaha!!!)  [&:]

Kudos to whoever thought up a Meet-In-The-Middle Rally.  I just checked MapQuest for Plymouth and S. Lake Tahoe.  7 and 9 hours away respectively.  []   SLO s 2-1/2 hours happily pale in comparison.  Amen!

There have been at least four families who have said, " We are thinking of coming to the San Luis Obispo Rally."   I say, " Good, the more the merrier."
 
 I do need some help though.  Would you please e-mail me, gsmx2@earthlink.net to let me know that you are coming ASAP?  I need to contact El Chorro Park and let them know that we need more spaces, and I d like to tell them how many more.
 
 I ll call them on Friday, so please get back to me before then.

Scott-
 count us as a 100% maybe!
 There are a few things that we need to clear up before we can give you a clear answer.  
 Scott
 

well as it turns out, we won t be able to make this rally afterall.
 I am only able to get off 1 weekend the entire month of April (outside of Easter) and we need to celebrate our 8th anniversary. And although we wouldn t mind spending it camping, we consider this " our"  celebration i.e. no kids ( and camping now wouldn t be same w/o them)

 Anniversaries alone.  That s a good reason for missing a rally.  Enjoy.
 
 Hmmm,  I hope this isn t just knee jerk reaction to not getting interviewed by Ray.  As long as Ray didn t interview CWB, it should be OK.
 
 Oh oh--Ray did interview CWB.  Now I am very suspicious of the REAL REASON MM isn t coming.
 
 Does anyone know for how many years the Hatfield and McCoy Feud went on?  I know that by the end, neither family knew why it started.  It was probably flamed by the neighbors that had nothing to do with it. Anyone know different.  If not, then my version survives.

Scott--thanks for the details.  Hope you and CWB can maintain the truce.  I d take it to the U.N. but they seem to have their hands full right about now.

ALL RIGHT---we have twelve of twelve spots spoken for.
 gsm x2 and g-whiz, cottonwooder, sammyslave, otter, Nick, Lute & Bonny, Dave, and Rick and Bea, memorymaker, surfcal, Chezway and Moose.

 Time to bump this to the top for a bit of fresh air.  Is that the current listing, or has it since changed?

WoodyCotton,
 
 List is accurate, but we actually have an empty space now that Great Scott needed to cancel.  I am certain that we will fill it.
