We had a great turn out especially since rain rolled in and this was the first rally. The campers in attendance were a 63 Shasta, a 57 Lincoln, a couple 72 Shasta Compacts, a Serro Scotty, a 64 Aristocrat Lo Liner, a 1940 Sears and Roebuck Tent and our Shasta. It rained on us but it was tolerable. It did not rain when we did the camper tour Saturday morning or when we had the pot luck Saturday night. Everyone had a lot of fun hanging out, meeting other vintage camper enthusiasts. Lake Tenkiller is definitely the clearest lake in Oklahoma. We stayed on Strayhorn landing, which is a campground on a peninsula, so there is a breeze coming off the water almost all the time.
I single handedly tried to double the attendance of the rally by having my parents, my wife's parents, my brother, his wife, their son, both my aunts, my grandparents, my wife's sister, her husband their son, and two cousins attend the rally. Not all had vintage campers, but some were vintage campers and some now have the bug. Did I mention my parents recently drove to WI to look at a Shasta? Ah but that is another story and I digress...
Okay enough chatter here are the pics:

Wow! Looks like a great turnout! I am so jealous, I am from Bixby originally and would have loved to come to the rally. Driving from Alaska would have been a bit far though....maybe someday!

This looks like it was a blast! My husband and I have a '59 Comet. We would love to come to the next rally. Where do I get the information?
ReplyDeleteAmy, one of these days maybe you can make it. It was a great time. Ashley, you can go to the Red Dirt Campers yahoo group to get info on local campouts. There is a link in the right column.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to use LED lights instead of the normal lights that is being offered in the market.For which it has great attributes that is good for the environment and it saves a lot.
