Looks like it may have been a little wet, but I can bet it didn't dampin' anyone's spirits! All it took was to look at all the smiles.

Thanks for sharing

Donna,

It was wet and cool. Sure looked funny with everyone in rain gear and standing around smoky fires! In spite of the weather everyone had a good time and we ate well. We also had fun with a Mardi Paws Parade. We had more dog owners walking with their costumed pets than spectators.

Sean's family provided a wonderful meal and his beloved dog Miss Molly got to visit with everyone too. Sean would have been very pleased with his Gulf Coast Spring Fling Rally!

We want to give special thanks to Blair for stepping up to organize this rally. His wonderful wife Jeanette made sure there was coffee for everyone each morning. And a big "thank you" to everyone who pitched in to get things done.

Well it was wet, but it was fun, and I think if you asked everyone, they'd do it again! We had Scamps, an Oliver, Bigfeet, Casitas, and a U-Haul in attendance. It's a little small on the FGRV forum, but here's my poster from the event:

March 12-15, 2009

All together there were 104 people, 48 trailers from 10 different states and 7 trailer manufacturer's represented. We had folks from AR, FL, IL, LA, MI, MS, NH, NM, TN and TX. The FGRV's manufacturers were Bigfoot, Casita, Eggcamper, Oliver, Scamp, Trillium, and U-Haul.

“WOW” was the word that Jim Reynolds used to describe this gathering and he took the word right out of our mouths. This gathering came together as a huge group effort that all Hosts and Hostesses should be very proud of. We believe it would be very hard to have a better bunch of folks gathering in FGRV's and have a smash up time in inclement weather. We didn't notice the weather slowing anyone down. Sean would have had such a good time, and as matter of fact, we figured that all the rain dropped in the form of Sean’s tears because he could not be with us. ...

The report on this wonderful rally, along with lots of pictures and video, can be viewed at:
