Cindy and I had a wonderful time.  We greatly appreciate the work that went into planning, organizing, and directing this event by Ineke and Leo Volkert.  We had fun, with friends we knew, met more Foretravel owners, and enjoyed everyone's company.  Thanks also to John and Nancy Alguire for the breakfasts and dinners they prepared. We look forward to being with you all again.

Ditto on the thanks, it was a wonderful event.

I wanted to add a few post-event photos to show where I spend the night after the rally.  This is the Rincon Parkway, a section of Highway 1 just above Ventura, and part of the Ventura County Park system. 

Here are four photos to save me 4000 words.

Tom,
 
Is your patio awning only partially deployed in your photos?
 
While at the Shawnee Grandvention, someone told me that the ribs were supposed to be straight when my Girard was fully extended. Mine stops short, with them at an angle similar to yours. Mine is very large and takes up a lot of room.
 
(Possibly a different conversation but I noticed my front most strut seemed to be slightly bowed at that point and thought that may have been stopping full extension)
 
Inquiring minds (at least one) want to know,

That was intentional,  not all the way out. I was keeping the sun out of the window.
