Fantastic! It is great to finally see all these people and coaches that you feel you already know!
Maybe next year we will be able to make it. After such success these last few years I'm sure it will continue.

Unfortunately for them, their pop up pooped out...

I made the mistake of calling Jim's rig a "pop up" with blistering results. Seems the "Hi-Low" gang are as fiercely loyal as Barthers are about their equipment. In the end Jim had to accept me calling his special version a "Mid-Low"

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the GTG and making it a good time. You can see from the pix that we didn't sit around feeling sorry for ourselves because of the weather. It was great to see old friends and make new ones. After a couple days we feel like we've known these folks forever. I wish we could have stayed Sunday night too but at least we made it for the main event. Thanks to all the shutterbugs, I'm sure we will see plenty more pix, and maybe Billy T's vittles for Sunday night [that we missed out on ].
Big fun everyone! And we'll see you all next year, if not before.

Connie and myself want to thank everyone for there such a great time, everyones niceness and hospitality was so great , its amazing that from early Friday nite to early Sunday morning how comfortable and close we felt with everyone, we are so glad to have met each and everyone of you and looking forward to seeing everyone as soon as possible,this added a whole new outlook to RVing for us and the help with fixing some things for me was so nice,.... heat, tv , hot shower, awnings all in such a short time,wow it was like everyones knowledge was a Christmas present and again thanks for the putting things like this together its always nice to meet good people,, Be Careful--God Bless-- hope to see everyone soon PS ,,,, Connie really does think shes normal

Mary Ray and David followed me home, and discovered why I say, "The only way to end up at my house is to know where you're going - or be lost." David and I loaded the generator, and they're now overnighting in south GA at the same RV park as the Cagles.

Exactly how we all feel...

Hello to all at Hillsborough
I did arrive a little early on Friday to view the coaches in the rain, but the welcome wagon was there under Nick and Donna's awning and inside, as Bill NY needed some nourishment.Donna, you are fantastic hostess.(food/lunch for Bill and travel experiences........)
Thank you to Rusty,Carl/Betty,Lenny/Judy,Danny/Susie,Nick/Donna for showing me your wonderful coaches. It gave me more insight to fulfilling my Barth dreams and needs!

Of course, Tom Johns(Nancy) for their hospitality and finding myself with some liquid refreshment in my hand wilst conversing under Nick/Donna's awning!Tom, you do a great job "walking the dog"( can't remember Donna/Nicks' dog name) around the park and you both marking the territory.

I realized, I missed others and I hope to see in the future. The pics are great and I know that I would have had a ball at this get-together.

All that is needed after many years LOOKING is that I get my ass in gear and get a Barth so that I can join this wonderful group of RVers'

Thank you all for the wonderful experience!!

It was very nice meeting everyone and I hope that down the road, we can re-connect again!

I had a great experience!

That's Hank. My attorney has recommended I don't "loan" Casey out, as he is "energetic", and outweighs Hank by around 20 lbs.

Glad you could make it, and it was a pleasure to meet you!

What a fantastic gathering! Helen and I made it back a couple of hours ago. Weather was acceptable all the way to Biloxi, where we spent the night at the IP Casino, then in the middle of the night, the sky broke. It continued to rain...er storm until we got back to the shop, where it is still raining.. Anyway, it was nice to meet all of you would-be life-long friends, that is, if you will have us! If you are not quite sure you like us, stick around, we will COOK SOMETHING! Can't wait to see you guys again, and if any of you are ever in this area, call! We always have hot coffee or cold soft drinks.

We enjoyed the GTG and seeing "old" friends and meeting new ones. We drove 1782 miles, used 192.661 gallons of gas and got 9.24 MPG, and the fun we had was priceless.

Mary, which one did you take?
Jim

We took the enclosed trailer.

Hey Jack,

Your maple syrup was a big hit at the Hillsborough GTG. Cheri made some awesome pancakes, but they had to compete with Danny's awesome biscuits and gravy (SOS).

I speak for everyone there, thanks for the liquid gold!!!

We wound up with the rest of the syrup,[maybe an ounce if that], and it is fine stuff. The real credit for the biskits and gravy goes to Suzie, as does the decor for the grand dinner. She wasn't feeling well but still came through, and she said today she wishes she had felt as good then as she does now. I told her she did fine.

The only complaints I heard concerned the weather which was out of our control.
