Talk with Terri Lynn and changed our arrival date to Tuesday the 9th. Way to many things to see and do in the "Dells" area, also Lynn and I need more time to visit with all our HOC friends.
Randy,
Just what Georgia needs...two CHEESE HEADS from Wisconsin coming to the rally! Lynn and I will be attending-- arriving the 24th and departing the 29th.
Our site is #217. Today we are having a heat wave with a high temp of 36 degrees. We are looking forward to some southern warmth! See...
The Schmid's are booked! I called Oden this morning. We will be arriving on 09/10 and departing on 09/14. Oden was very helpful. We are in the new section of the campground with full hook-ups. Can't wait to see the sunrise over Lake Superior!
Tom & Kathy
Lynn and I plan to arrive mid afternoon on the 11th and stay till the 14th. We already have our calendar marked to make the reservation on May 10th.
We can only imagine what the sunrises will be like over Lake Superior!

The “Wisconsin Wine & Cheese” tasting is taking shape. The wines have been selected and the cheeses chosen. We don’t think we will have a problem sneaking them across the border into Minnesota. If you still have us scheduled just prior to the pot luck we will need about 30 minutes...
I just got off the phone with Debbie. Lynn and I are now booked for the MN Rally. We will be arriving on Thursday. Both of us are looking forward to seeing you again.

Re: 2011 Wisconsin Rally--Lake Delton, WI
Lynn and I would like to thank both Jim and Tom for all the pre-planning, and behind the scenes logistics they have to do to put together such a "GREAT" event. Without them none of this would have happened.
Three days and counting!!!
Lynn and I (the grill assistant) will be bringing "Summer Spaghetti Salad" for the pot luck. We will be arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday.
Looking forward to seeing all of you.:o:)

You might want to check out Custom Service Hardware. I have a friend who buys all his cabinet and furniture hardware from them because of the choices available, and the good prices. They may be able to help.

Yes please keep posting! Lynn and I lived in Fairbanks back in the early 70’s while in the Army. We drove down the ALCAN when it was 1300 miles of gravel road. Someday when we are retired we are planning to go back with our Bighorn. The views are spectacular!!!!
Dan & Karen welcome to the Wisconsin chapter of HOC. Lynn and I have been to two Wisconsin state rallies, and Goshen will be our first national rally. We have had great times, with all the great friends we have met. You have hooked up with a good bunch of people who do care for each other and...
Last fall Lynn and I purchased our second Bighorn. Our first unit had the manual awning but the new rig has the electric. In the old rig I had to get the ladder out, find the hook, and make all the adjustments. Now we just push a button. Lynn’s new goal in life seems to be keeping me off...
The dual pane windows make such a difference both in cold and hot weather. We have had 5 people sleeping in our 3670RL and in the morning none of the windows were wet from all the humidity that builds up. We would not order a rig without them.
Today I attended my first grilling lesson given by the “Grill Master” Alf. We did not even fire up the grill for the lesson. Today I learned the number one “Most Important” thing to keep the Grill Master happy. Have plenty of beer and make sure it is cold. This grill training is going to be...
Sorry to hear about the brake in. Lynn and I had our old 3400RL broken it while in storage. They broke the window on the door and stole the TV, but left the remote which was sitting next to the TV. The dummies also left their tools. The first few times you go into your rig after this happens you...
I accept the challenge! It will be an honor and a privilege to apprentice under the “GREAT ONE”. It is not every day that Grill Master Alf will share his vast knowledge and skills. I will have to resurrect the humble cooking skills I learned many years ago working at the Big Boy restaurant in...
Congratulations! This is an exciting day for you.
For Lynn and me this same excitement happens every year when we go to take the rig out of winter storage and bring it home for the camping season. It’s like I’m a little kid again with a new toy.
Enjoy your new "TOY" and I hope you have as much...
We bit the bullet and bought one thinking it was a good idea. We have never used it. If I had it to do over again I would not buy one. I would do what Dave recommends and run on 30 amps. When we dry camp at the Indy 500 we use twin Honda generators at 30 amps. We just need to be careful on what...
Tom
I believe you have made a “GREAT” choice in having ALF be the "Grill Master". There is no better pleasure in life than to sit around the grill, with a cold one in hand, and watch Alf do his magic over a hot grill. I am always amazed at his technique and control of the situation. He is an...
In our 2007 3400RL we had one small leak near the water heater that the dealer (Wagner's) fixed. In Our new 3670RL we have had no leaks. We stretch our camping season from early April to the beginning of November with water in the lines. We know we are pushing the limit of freezing the water...
Dave
We took it to Wagner's on Saturday for winter storage. Our back yard looks soooo empty now. Couple more years and the back yard will still look empty, but we will be joining the other snowbirds down south for the winter in our 3670RL.
Last month Lynn & I purchased our second Bighorn. We traded in our 2006 3400RL for our new 2011 3670RL. While camping in Illinois, a couple walking by who had just purchased SOB showed interest in our 3670RL, so we gave them a tour. By the end of the tour she told her husband “I want one.”
The...
We have a 2007 3400RL and in the bedroom where the TV should be mounted is the amplifier for the antenna. Ours has a small red button (push on/push off), when you push it a red LED should come on. Our main TV in the living room area will not work unless the antenna amp is on.
Hope this...

When will Country Roads start tacking reservations for the 2011 Wisconsin rally?
Ray I'm glad I'm not hanging around you with the beans. Poor Lin!
Saukville Bob
Could someone provide brief instructions for me on how to re-size photos so they can be posted on Forum?
Ray offered a few crane photos for viewing, and I wanted to share some of mine with the group also.
Your comments are welcome! Cheers, Lynn Schmid (Wife of Saukville Bob)
Ray and Lin, looking forward to seeing you again and hearing about your adventures this past year. Bob and I visited the Crane Foundation approx 25 years ago, so we would love to visit again if there is a grouop going. We often have sandhills flying over our area in Saukville since we're near...
Good morning to all,
We're looking forward to the big gathering, and sharing a meal together! We'll bring an Italian veggie medley-- it's a nice salad for a summer day and goes well with RIBS. (We were just wondering.... what DOESN'T go well with ribs?) Saukville Bob & Lynn

Good evening to "Da Gang"
Tonight Bob and I viewed the rally photos from our lovely weekend in Country Roads RV Park, and especially liked the photo of "Da Gang." Hmmmm... there is something going on in that photo.... why does Ray...
This was the first time we participated in a club rally and it will not be the last. Both Lynn and I had a great time, learned so much, and I know I ate way too much. The group that attended blended in so well that you would have thought they had known each other for years. It was nice seeing...

An air hitch does wonders for the ride in your truck. While going down the road it is amazing to see how much the hitch absorbs the movement of the 5th wheel.
With that being said be careful when choosing an air hitch for your rig, and which manufacturer you choose. We had the Trail Air...
Blocks under the landing gear
I agree with the snowshoe comment. We always put one of the interlocking orange blocks under each foot of the front landing gear. when the feet get close to the blocks I stop to see if I need to put another block or a 1x8x10 board under one of the feet to keep the...
