Rally in Pueblo

[bpaikman]

Any members attending the rally in Pueblo this week? We’re sitting here watching controlled chaos in the staging lot.

I wish we were going to be there but our schedule just didn't allow it.

I do feel like I might be one of the only people not going!

We will park between 1-2 pm tomorrow. Watch for us, we're in a Newmar Ventana 4369.

Should be easy to spot.

Should be easy to spot.

I thought so. I do have TEXAS plates so that should help. Oh, I have a tag axle.

Newmar Ventana? That should stand out

When we were in the staging area waiting to be parked, we felt kind of intimidated being between 40+ footer Dutch Stars and various Aires…. then finally one of the parkers came up to us and said - your tag says you’re 45’. . (we’re 35’). I fixed it with a marker. We got a nice spot next to a sod-covered ‘doggy restroom’ they had installed especially for our CC, I assume. (I see other dogs using it, but CC’s ok with that). These people are all SUPER friendly.

Nancy and I are have been here since Wednesday. I may have parked you today…or may tomorrow. If you haven’t, check out the dog parks in ‘dogtopia’ area.

We're here! We are in a dirt Ventana parked between two beautifully clean Dutch Stars. Come see use.

well, that narrows it down so much. I bet our Ventana is dirtier.

I haven’t seen a dogtopia area

Here at the Rally as well. Across from the Pavilion. This last couple of days the Altitude has been tough to adapt to here. Never had an issue before. Too much sea level life I guess.

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

We've been in the area for over a week and I'm still struggling with the altitude also.

A pilot friend brought these to my attention after I spent far more on an oxygen setup for my plane. May help those in CO.

Hopefully the rest of us dreamers can see photos of the beautiful coaches.

Thanks, Neal. I feel much better this morning.

Every model from Bay Star to Essex is here. I think at least 50% of the coaches are Dutch Stars, amazingly, most of the coaches appear to be 3-5 years old.

Thanks, Neal. I feel much better this morning.

Glad to hear. From what I've heard from CO peeps is hydrate A LOT and it will take a day or two to acclimate, just be careful with activities.

Have fun all and post TONS of pics for us to live vicariously through you.

From what I've heard from CO peeps is hydrate A LOT and it will take a day or two to acclimate, just be careful with activities.

Having lived in the Rockies for over 50 years, with the majority of my time being spent in higher altitudes, hydration is extremely important. You need to drink a lot of water... I consume on average 90+ ounces of water a day. When first arriving in altitude limit your physical activities for a couple of days and do not consume alcohol. Experiencing altitude sickness is not a pleasant experience.

 

[Neemer]

do not consume alcohol

Deal breaker

 

[No Plan]

Drinking alcohol does dehydrate you so consuming alcohol before you have acclimated to the altitude will negatively affect you... I have seen this far too many times.
