VOLUNTEERING
We are volunteering at The Rally this year for the first time. We are interested in hearing about the experiences and observations of others volunteering at The Rally. We would appreciate all responses.
Would Love to Get to Know You
Hi Everyone!
Just registered for Rally 2009! This will be the second Rally we have attended. We went to the Rally in Redding, Oregon in 2007 and had a wonderful time. We are expecting to have a similar experience this year.
We will be leaving for our annual winter trip to Texas from Illinois towards the end of January. After visiting family on the eastern Texas border we will head to our favorite campground ("Parkview" on the Rio Frio) in the Texas Hill Country, We'll most likely spend a few weeks there before heading to the Big Bend area for a week or so. We hope to continue on into New Mexico (a new adventure for us) to make a leisurely trip to the Rally during April. Following the Rally we hope to head up into Colorado and visit family in the Denver area before our trip home. We normally arrive back in Illinois by the middle of April; but this year it won't be until very late April or early May. We don't usually make any advanced reservations as we love the freedom of making decisions in route as the day or mood sways us. A vague outline is all we need to stimulate us to hit the road, whether it be for a long weekend, a few weeks or for the season.
I would love to hear of your RV travel plans this year and the trip you will be making to Rally 2009.

ALBUQUERQUE IS WONDERFUL
This will be our 1st RALLY but last October we attended the Balloon Festival in Albuquerque. WOW what an awsome event and wonderful time we had with the RV crowd. We highly reccommend a visit to the Botanical Gardens & Aquarium (they are on same grounds). We are just occasional Rv'ers as I still work, but are really looking forward to checking out "THE RALLY". All my research indicates it is a fun time and a oppportunity to meet some great people. We made our reservations last week and still waiting for our docs...kinda like waiting for cruise docs..LOL LOL. Hope to see you there!!! Oh by the way we live in Ventura County, CA
