Here is the information on the Nebraska rally. It will be at the Ogallala state Park. It will be September 4th thru the 8th 2019. The price for the park is 32 per day. ( 32x5= 160.00 ) there is a state permit to get that is a one time fee of 67.00.
We need the reserve the sites by the first two weeks of February. You can send me a check for 160.00 to reserve the site and you can pay for the permit when you showup. I will not cash the check until all is finalized . If you have sent the check and included the state fee I will be sure to get the permit.

God willing and the creek don't rise it will be there. Testing all the systems now and all is going well. A couple of leaks and a couple of wires crossed but nothing major. Jim is coming up next week to hold my hand when I start the motor and start test driving it. ( it has been started before but not driven) I have a appointment in California the first of March for paint.

I will expect it to be there, then!!

Judging from your project thread, It looks like it should drive and handle like a sports car! (Well, a big sports car ;) )

I mailed you a check on Wednesday for $160. Living in Nebraska, we should have a state park permit by September...

I talked to both Mel and Wayne yesterday and it looks like this will be a great rally. They are up to 15-16 buses now and it sounds like they will still accept more reservations for a few more days.

For those of you who are new to Eagles or are trying to find out more about Eagles, this would be a great rally to attend. The campground is close to Ogallala (on I 80) and there are several motels there. You would need a state park pass, to visit the campsite. It will be a laid back rally so folks should be around to talk all things Eagle and show you their buses.

update 8/22/19

I had posted a map to the campground, but I had the wrong campground. See a later post for the correct information

The rally is a go. I have reserved 17 sites. All the checks sent to me have been cashed. Mel and Trish will be sending out information on the rally later this summer. If anyone else wants to go send me 160 dollars and I will try and get so more sites. There were already two sites that we wanted that were taken. I think we can get more sites just not in the group we have reserved but the park is not that big.

Thank You Wayne
