As the new wagonmaster-in training, I talked to Beverly today and reserved sites 401-440 for Thursday May 29, 2014 to Sunday June 1, 2014. These are the sites where we were in 2012. There are 3 rows, 2 of 10 sites each and 1 of 9 sites, plus a block of 11 more adjacent sites. (I tried for dates in June but the place is already booked solid until late August!)

No deposit is required to make a reservation. They will not assign specific site numbers. Just tell them you are with the Barth Group. Then let us know which site you would like and it will earmarked for you.

It was suggested that we keep a central site for the common dining and campfire area. I have reserved site 420 for common use.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ARRIVE EARLIER OR STAY LATER, BE SURE TO LET BEVERLY KNOW TO RESERVE ADDITIONAL DAYS.

My reservation has been made from Thursday May 29 till Monday June 2. I'm going for site 408!

Now let's see how quickly the rest of you can reserve the other 38 sites! This should be the largest Barth GTG of all time to celebrate 50 years of Barthmobiling. Sign up soon and let's try for more sites and 50 Barths!

Get out those calendars and reserve these dates!

We should plan ahead for another Barth auction, maybe a keg? a pig roast? Some mention was made for owner show and tell sessions (polishing Barths, brake jobs/bleeding tips, air systems, etc) for those interested.

Let us know and let's root out all those Barths hiding out there to get a good turnout.

Check off the following for me. All 4 days
401-Doorman
402-D.L.
412-Homer
414-Wizzard

Let us remind you, it is NOT necessary to own a Barth to attend. You will be welcome no matter your choice of coach.

And the Wagonmaster (SteveVW) is in charge of allocating sites, so make sure you PM him with your selection and dates.

BTW, the countdown clock for Milford III won't start until after the Dec FL GTG. I'm trying to use the clock for the "next" GTG. After Black Hills comes Branson, unless a NE GTG materializes.

I'll take any site that you see fit to assign me.

2014 Milford bound with the Regis.

So glad you will be there, it is going to be a lot of fun.

All right, Bill!

How about site 410 to showcase that sweet Regis? This is shaping up nicely!

This will be a great Barth event. Don't miss it!

Let me know of any additions or changes. This should be a great Barth event!

11 sites already. Keep it rolling! If you know of Barthmobilers who are not on the website regularly see if you can let them know. I'll gladly reserve more sites while we can.

Cindy and I plan to attend. We would like to have Number 425 if possible. Thanks!

How about 428 for Deb and I.

ED.

To make it easier for the Sat. lunch with the Barth folks I would like to be in the spot next to it for the grills. If the crowd is going to be larger then a site at the south corner may work out better or maybe we need 2 sites as is was quite full for the lunch and the auction. Nick, Rusty, & Lou you may want to chime in on this. All who wander are not lost.
