SNU Rally at Kingston

June 2005 Rally Review

7 SNU - Total Rally Participation

Diane Leipper

As Randy Grossmann said, it is going to be hard to top our June rally at Kingston. Randy and his wife Vicki are our newest members and this was their first rally in their new Airstream. We had a total of 7 Airstreams, 19 people, 6 dogs, and 3 cats, our largest rally in the last five years. Apparently we were the talk of Kingston. Our shiny aluminum trailers were very visible in the open country and created a lot of talk among the residents in the local bar and grocery store. The Thornburg's were also initiating their new Airstream, a 31ft Classic. Both the Grossmann's and the Thornburg's bought their Airstreams from Mountain Family RV. On the vintage side were the Root's attending their first rally in their 1956 26ft Cruiser, a beautiful old Airstream with many of the original appliances still in working order. Roy and Bonny Douglas our hosts, were the recipients of a special present made by Jerry Thornburg's cousin. It was a beautiful wood sign with two buzzards sitting on top. It was a big hit with the Douglas's as well as the rest of us. Jerry also had a hillbilly pink flamingo that was a great addition to the Unit's growing flamingo flock. I f you needed any incentive to drive all the way to Kingston then Roy Douglas's smoked brisket was without a doubt the perfect motivator. After smoking all day in his special Texas built smoker we all were treated to tender, juicy, perfectly done beef brisket. Beans, salads and deserts accompanied this. Wewere fortunate enough to enjoy a after dinner concert by Brian Jaggard. He brought his violin to practice for a recital he was attending on Sunday. What a way to top off a great meal and a great evening. Rich Jaggard brought his telescope so we were able to take advantage of the dark sky and view the stars and the milky way close up. Some of the other highlights included 7 yr old Nick Root catching his first fish and getting cleaning instructions from Rich Jaggard, visits to a nearby hot springs, trips to nearby ghost towns and other scenic attractions, an evening playing board games, and of course a few inspirational naps to recuperate from all the excitement. We are also happy to report that Don Damoth's thumb which created some excitement at the Boca Rally, is healing nicely and he will soon be able to remove the brace that still protects the mending bone.
