WOW!
Some random photos of the 2013 Spring GMCMI motor home and GEO Tracker conclave are here:

(I've never seen so many GMCs or Trackers in one place before )
My brain is full. In fact, I think it overflowed about day 2.
I've been to a lot of 'events' over the years and I will flatly state that this was the most impressive in almost every area:
Organization - WOW! What an outstanding setup. GMCMI owns everything they need, tables, chairs, coffee pots, toasters, bulletin boards, popcorn machine... You name it, it was in crates and is shipped from rally to rally. Kim Weeks did a fantastic job...if she could only have warmed up the weather a bit, it would have been perfect.
Seminars - WOW! Great content, well moderated, knowledgeable speakers, PA for the speakers and the questions, handouts....
Attendees - WOW! Great group of people. Everyone friendly and willing to share. It was wonderful to meet so many of my internet friends in person.
Vendors - WOW! Where did all my money go???? Found lots of things to spend it on.
Food - WOW! Never having been to a GMCMI rally before, I carried a coach full of food. I ended up bringing 90% of it home. Breakfast everyday, coffee all day, GREAT catered dinners twice and lunch once. The other days I either went out or fixed something.
Open house - WOW! What a treat to see so many people open their homes for folks to look at and steal...err.. borrow ideas. And the ideas I got are great.... Some absolutely wonderful coaches.
Did I mention I was impressed???
Made it home with no problems and didn't see any other GMC's on the road... I wanted to stay longer and help pack things up but needed to get back and help Carolyn with the grandkids.
Can't wait for Branson!
