We will be there. Arrivng on Monday. Only a little over 300 miles from the house.

We should arrive there on Sunday March 21. However we are not staying on the grounds.

Leaving Colorado Springs area about this same time enroute back towards Arkansas, and thinking of a quick "Stop Over". If/When this happens will be sure to look for any POGS! Can anyone suggest off site places since we would probably not stay more than 2 days?

[Trendycat]

We'll be there for the next two+ weeks (starting Sunday 3/14)

I'll be doing Webasto / Aqua-hot service and repairs before and during (and possibly after) the convention. If you need service - let me know via email or PM and I can schedule an appointment time for you.

That's great. I will post once I get there. I will be parked along with the 2400 or so others.

Hey Gary,

I had thought of going, but didn't realize you were planning on it. Currently not registered. I'll give some thought to it, although I'd probably miss a lot of it, since I can't really take the time off work at the moment.

Would be nice to get the bus out of the storage bin, though.

[garyde]

Hi Ray. You can pay at the gate, no problem. i figure I can head out on Saturday, get there Sunday night, and stay til Friday morning and head back home. Most of my work is over the phone or by e mail these days. The days start at 7:00 AM and go into the night so ther is a lot to choose from.

[Ray Davis]

I'll call you later this weekend. Thinking about it ....

We will get there on Sunday afternoon . But I'll be in the Foretravel not the Prevost. I will be parked with the other vendors. I will have an inside booth setup " Xtreme Paint & Graphics ". All POG members stop by and visit if you get a chance.........James

Started the trip yesterday, stopped by Prevost to get two new tires on the front. Made it to Williams , Arizona (Grand Cyn. Railway RV Park) Cold with a little snow left here and there.
I'll probably be at the EXPO in Albuqurque tomorrow afternoon.

I arrived home last night. 15 plus hours from Albuqurque. I usually enjoy FMCA but I felt this one lacking. Many Coach Vendors did not show up. Some out of business , others deciding not to come. Disappointing. The Venue was split between Balloon fiesta Park and downtown Convention Center. Not a good thing. Too much commuting. Add Snow, rain, 25 degree temps and it was a outdoor event best suited for indoors. Everyone seemed to hang in there and have a good time. I did meet Bill and Ralph who were coming down from Breckenridge, Colorado. gutsy Guys to spend the winter months at 9000 feet.
Marathon was there with one 2005 H3-45, and one 2009 XLII 4 slide.(52000 lbs)
Bright side was the Sandea Casino and BJ Thomas. The guy is 67 and still has it.

[Ray Davis]

Sorry it didn't pan out to be everything. But, still it's time off not working!! Let's try to do the next one which comes into SoCal. I'd like attend a FMCA rally for once.
