Internet access at this rally is the best we&#8217;ve ever had, which is not saying much, but still an improvement.    There&#8217;s wi-fi in one of the buildings, and cellular coverage is rock-solid here.  I&#8217;ve seen Sprint, Verizon, and Cingular setups rolling along very well.  But who wants to sit in front of the computer when the sun is shining and there&#8217;s a party at every fifth trailer?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Salem%20vintage%2050s%20butts.jpg\" alt=\"Salem vintage 50s butts.jpg\" height=\"239\" width=\"359\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vintage happy hour was tremendous today, probably the biggest turnout yet.  I think nearly a hundred people were there, spilling out from the edges of the tent.    There&#8217;s a lot of talk about the name change, the state of the vintage club (there&#8217;s some political issues there), the Vintage Advantage newsletter (which will have a new editorial team soon), and all the cool trailers here.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all looking forward to the vintage open house tomorrow from 11 to 4.  The delegates meeting is scheduled for 8 to 12, which is causing some grief for vintage owners who have a strong interest in attending the meeting.  I&#8217;ll be in touch with some people who will be attending, via cell phone, to get updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, a quickie update this evening because I have to go pick up Brett at the airport in Portland soon.
