It is just amazing, the folks who showed up at Desmond's Fleet week.
I will get a list up later, but there were several "young folks" with
new-to-them GMCs and they are doing a great job of
getting-them-on-the-road.
what is great is that the spouses' are here with great ideas on the why and
how of GMC life.;>)
(wait till you hear about the 1 year odyssey, coming up from one young
couple with a 1 year-old (to them) GMC.
From a long ways away, are Mike Miller from Portland, Or.
Kelvin (one name like Sher) , from Eugene, Or.
the Works, from GrantsPass, Or. (well almost, Kerby,or.)
(more to come)
the "spring" air bag is here (more later)

he also has the Hubler front end from JimK

You should see all the innovations from these young folks. Like Jerry Work
told me yesterday, It is fun to see these young faces with just-excellent
backgrounds, doing really innovative GMC restorations, and modifications.
THANKS DESMOND FOR THE RALLY

We had a great time this weekend! Desmond is either a genius of freakish proportions, or the luckiest host alive. Not only did he arrange for us - the beautiful vistas of San Francisco, but the best weather you could imagine, a Parade of Ships, an air show featuring the Blue Angels, and to top it off - Fireworks on Saturday night!
But wait, there's more! An impromptu tour of some Burning Man artwork, two chances to diagnose non-running coaches, a winery tasting bar, some folks drove into The City for German food and beer at Schroeders, and others ate at the local greasy spoon (that was really good!) We had some political intrigue and naughty rule-bending - (somebody lit a "Little Red Campfire" between the coaches that drew GMC'ers like moths!) - and we were visited by some masked thieves in the night (raccoons!)
I've uploaded some pictures from my iPhone. It will do HDR images - sometimes they are better - sometimes they aren't. The pictures start here:

or

If you are in the same boat I was in a week or two ago and had never heard of HDR images, as I understand it the camera takes 3 pictures almost at once. One underexposed, one normal exposure, and one overexposed. It then stitches them together to build a move vivid picture.
Desmond gets my vote for "GMC Commodore II" for putting together a fantastic mini-rally.
Thank you, Desmond!

Thanks to all for the great pics (and video), and kudos to Desmond for putting together such a great event. Wish we could have been there.
We're leaving tomorrow evening for an eleven day, 1600 mile trip to Salt Lake City, then on to the GMCWS Rally in Las Vegas!!!
