We tried out a new site for the SNU September rally. Glass Creek Campground is about 4 miles south of Obsidian Dome. It is a more structured campground and very popular with the ATV crowd. Although there were a lot of campers even at this time of the year, the campground is spacious and it didn’t feel crowded. It’s a very nice campground right on Glass Creek. It makes a good back up for Obsidian. It was a beautiful fall weekend with clear skies, perfect temperatures, very little wind and even a full moon. We were delighted to have visitors from the San Diego Unit join us for this rally. Bob & Nancy Kirksey have been active Airstreamers for a lot of years and gone on quite a few caravans. It was great to hear their stories. On Saturday Bob shared his slide show of a mini caravan to Mexico in the early 2000’s. He and Nancy were part of a scouting group that was making arrangements for a WBCCI caravan to Mexico. In addition to Bob & Nancy, rally participants included Jerry & Dyann, Gary & Anita, Brian & Jeni and Bryan & Diane and their cousin Karen. On Friday Rick stopped by for a visit. As always, it’s nice to catch up with him. We haven’t seen Brian & Jeni in quite a while. They recently had their 1954 Cruiser refurbished inside and out. We all enjoyed taking a tour. They have kept it as original as possible. A lot of the important upgrades aren’t visible – new plumbing and electric and the addition of a gray water tank. It really looks beautiful and should be good for another 60 years. Speaking of refurbishing, Gary and Anita just installed some new steps on their Airstream. Some minor modifications had to be made to make them fit but they were definitely worth the effort. Nice and sturdy, adjustable and even have a spot for a post for a hand hold. There are some nice hiking trails close to the campground which several of rally participants took advantage of. As mentioned, Brian and Jeni took a bike ride that included Mill pond, Mosquito Lake via Rock Creek. Apparently the ride was a great success, good roads, beautiful scenery and nice weather. As for meals, we had a KFC chicken dinner on Thursday. Friday and Saturday we did our usual shared meals. As always, good food and good company. It was a very pleasant and relaxing weekend. We’ll definitely have to keep Glass Creek in mind for future rallies.
