Fellow GMCers,
Not sure where to start with this story, but here it goes.
With no intension of ever owning a motorhome, Elaine & I ran across our 1976 GMC, two years ago, April 2012.
Fate put HER in our path, and we just had to have it.
We had no idea of the wonderful people and things it would take us to.
Last year, we attended our first GMC rally.
Had a lot of fun, met a lot of people, and figured we should do it again this year.
These amazing people ranged from age 60 to 90, and professions from NASA engineers to a Poolguy (me)
This year it was in Montgomery, Texas (about an hour north of Houston)
We decided to take the backroads in hopes to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
As it turned out, I officially did a total of 2623 miles (a bit less than estimated, Yahoo!) and burned 307 gallons of fuel.
Elaine & I were able to reacquaint with people we met last year, and made a lot of new friends this year.
The two weeks of our adventure was a blur.
I talked to every person that I could, and had so many wonderful conversations, from different points of view.
After a short while, it all seemed to blend into one long wonderful day.
And just so I would remember it all, I had to take a few photos.
Good thing I did, because I was able to relive my memories by viewing them.
I hope that those of you that view this gallery of photos, that it may bring back some good memories, and for those of you that were unable to make it, I hope you will enjoy some of the sights too.
They are all free to download, just follow the directions on the gallery.
Here is the link: GMCMI Spring Rally 2014
Thank you to all that made us feel as part of the GMC family.
It has been a privilege for us both.
Sincerely,
Glenn & Elaine..."Scooby Doo"

W O W !
What a terrific bunch of photos.
I couldn't tear myself away until I'd seen every one of them.

Glenn,
Thank you so much for the time and effort you and Elaine put into taking SO MANY photographs. Helen and I can only make one
convention a year at best and it's really nice to see everybody, I don't think anybody escaped being photographed! ;-)

Glenn, before we look at your pictures, I want to thank you for the time
you spent with Bob, probably discussing some controversial topics, and for
helping us "cowboys" get geared up for the "Cowgirl and the Pea" skit for
the ladies' luncheon. It was a pleasure to see you and Elaine again. Hope
our trails cross again real soon. All the best and safe travels!

Great bunch of photos. Thanks.
Saw lots of familiar faces but was surprised to not see many familiar faces that apparently didn't make the rally.
Loved the orange motorcycle.
