Good news, Steve. Looking forward to seeing you. Call me about a 1/2 hour out and I'll meet you at the gate.

We were really looking forward to this but we will not be able to make it... our daughter's baby sitter is taking vacation so we will be taking care of grandchildren the next couple weeks.

Fred & Cindy - Sorry you won't make it. But, Family First. Understood.

Visited with the Good Sam folks at the Allegan County Fairgrounds this morning. They were already checking early arrivals in. I spoke with the gentleman responsible for placing each unit, and he has a spot in mind for anyone with a Barth, whether registered yet or not. They asked how many: I told them 5 confirmed, but that there was another Barth owner not part of BM (yet) who hasn't checked in with us. We could have 6. He will do his best to get us near each other, and the general location is right next to the Grandstands. Looks like a really good location.

I'm going to put our Barth in there about 10am tomorrow, and will stay until our folks get situated.

Here's who I'll be looking for:

Steve & Liz
Kevin
Mogan David
Jim Roller
+ Barb and I.

PS: If anyone needs to dump a tank or two prior to setup let me know by calling my cell, 269-650-0409 and I'll direct you to the place (which is across the street from the entry gates).

If I were coming, I'd be overnighting in Columbus Woods'n'Waters RV Park...

A fine time so far. I will have photos later. This is a very nice park, shaded sites, lots of activities, walking distance to town, etc. Thanks again, Lou.

Five coaches here so far, one more today.

As you wish! Barth row:

Jim and Joan have a beautiful 98, drove in from Illinois.

Ted and Brenda's 92 Breakaway. They came from Pennsylvania.

Mark sneaked in next to me with his ForeTravel.

This is a nice place with lots of shade and things to do. Ted's son Hunter went fishing on the river nearby and caught some nice bass. I'll get more pics of the area soon.
