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.

Thanks, Neal. I feel much better this morning.

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

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.

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.

do not consume alcohol

Deal breaker

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.

I remember getting altitude sickness after drinking wine the night before on the day we arrived. There was a place that had an altitude chamber that you could go into to acclimate. Drinking before acclimation is no bueno.

I haven't had any alcohol in 3 days and I've concluded that's my problem. Seriously, I physically did too much yesterday plus it's hotter than back home in Texas. I'm drinking a lot of water and a Gatorade or two also.

We attended the praise & worship program this morning and then the first timers lunch. I was amazed at the number of first timers. This afternoon we're going with some friends to Garden of the God's.

This about half the room. The Newmar lineup of coaches circle the room.

We met a lot of fine folks here this week…unfortunately, no Forum members because we don’t know your names. With around 380 coaches here, we’re not trying to find you haha.
The people who put this on certainly worked hard to make things happen, no doubt. We’ve enjoyed so far….somewhat , but the heat ….ugh

I was somewhat disappointed in the vendor's participation at the rally. I was pleasantly surprised when the Newmar techs showed up this afternoon to take a look at my remote door operation. I guess it helped that I signed up several months ago.

As usual, meeting and making new friends is the best part of any rally.

Off-key???? I’ll have you know the Met was scouting and nabbed me at the exit. But, pffft! We’re too busy to commit to their offer for a mere 250K per performance.

BTW, how do you get the wash and wax signup?
