Rally in the Rockies....we are ready....are you!
Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 6:39 pm
Wednesday Evening....current temp. 75 degrees....temp. @ 6 a.m. 50 degrees ..current fuel prices in Cody $3.82-3.84 per gallon
What a week...we purchased a C/C LT1045, and we just finished cutting the South 40. We wanted to make sure that there was room for the coaches that are heading this way to the Pre-Rally festivities! Jose estimated that we relocated between 3 to 4,000 grasshoppers! They will just have to find another place to live until we are done.
We expect our first Eagle to land here either tomorrow or Friday.
Everyone here is excited! One of the neighbors told me that we had not had this much excitement since Clem Johnston went to town, got drunk and rolled over his chicken truck on the way home,when he missed the cut-off road. This was good for the neighbors, as everyone had free eggs for the week.
For what it is worth, we stocked up on Coors Lite, Miller Lite, Budweiser, and Jack Daniels for me. We even purchased a case of Mike's Lemonade, as someone requested it along the way, I just can't remember who...but it is here anyway.
Checked on Arnold today(Our dinner on Wednesday) and all is fine. They are still trying to fatten him up, to be sure we have enough to eat.
Visited with the Mayor's office today, just to make sure we would not have a problem have 12 or so coaches on our property. After a good conversation, explaining about The Eagles and what we do, the remark was made "you should start your own town." SOOOOOOOOOOOO...we are going to name our property PINTZSITE,as we are smaller than Quartzsite, but the same principals apply.
We have heard from several who are headed this way....Renae & Dennis Hafenbreadl are in West Yellowstone,,,Matt Plumlee & Carolee Hale are in Baggs, WY,,,The St.Johns and Strucks are heading to Jackson ( although that really depends on who you talk to), Glynda & George McConaughey got the coach motor repaired and are ready to point it toward Wyoming.
Art & Cindy Wales made it through Vegas and have a stop or two and they will be here. Anne & Le Roy Willis are within smelling distance, should be here soon,,,Mark & Kathy Renner are almost into the park!
I only hope they don't wear themselves out on the trip....because the fun will start when they get here!
Keep us posted of your travels, and we will let everyone know what is going on!
