Hi Mike - we're in the Texas section of "B" on the north side of the row. Just moved over here this afternoon since our service work is all completed

We have our own "sticky" topic at the very top of this page for iRV2/GNR, so stay tuned in to that for the latest in news and happenings.

Jane and I are really looking forward to meeting all of our iRV2 friends in the next few days!

We came in with the group when the grounds opened yesterday. We are in the E area across from the area parking.

We arrive yesterday in B near the bathhouse. John -- no wonder I didn't see a likely rig to be you on the North side today where your Datastorm said you were located. Sounds like we are on opposite ends of B now. We're TX residents, but are supposedly parked with MilWIT.

We came in yesterday and are in #10 at Pammel Park. We checked out 3 Fingers Campground but are glad we are at Pammel. Great location. We will check with service Monday morning, wondering if they are working on rigs before the GNR.
Did all those motorhomes come in yesterday? Yesterday the first day? There are quite a few there already. We will probably go to the GNR site Monday or Tuesday. Should be another great year.

Guess I should have asked who was there yesterday. We swung through on our way back from Colorado. Took a (very quiet - except for our kids!) plant tour at 1:00 and left just before dark.

We were the '04 Adventurer licnese "WNEBAGO" in the vistors center camping area, if you happened to be over there.

We arrived yesterday. Went to CDI for a touchup. Visited Lichstinn Motors with a friend. They bought a new motor home. Cruised the town today, off the airport tomorrow, and into service on Monday. Located at C8, No 8. Anyone want to watch my dog on Monday while the coach is in the shop? Welcome all to GNR 2008; can't wait for it to start.

Jerry - yes they are working on motorhomes. If you want service before the rally, it would be more convenient for you to not move to rally park. Hang out at Pammel or the visitor's center until you get your work completed.

We arrived at noon today & got checked in the California Row, section C8.

I see a WIFI pole sticking up above the street lights about 300 ft in front of us so we should stay connected while we're here for almost two weeks.

WOW, for a newbe, the Rally Grounds is a big place.
