Never More Schwarzwald Rally

August 6-8, 2004

Alpirsbach, Germany

A Left Lane event

It was the largest attended Schwarzwald rally yet.  When I asked Susy how many people were there she said just over 50!!  We're going to have to rename this rally at this rate, it just keeps getting bigger each year.  We had quite a few sidecar rigs attending, a couple of them with families of four in them!  The campground was celebrating their anniversary and so there were a few extra attractions this year.  Saturday evening there was an outdoor disco, Sunday a surprise visit by the fire department and a live band afterward.  The campground owner was even more stressed than usual and was even a bit more of his usual "direct" self.  Murmerings of choosing a new campground for next year were heard among the troops.  In spite of the owner, it's a lovely situated place with lots of activities for the kids.

Our Saturday tour took us to a castle with a nearby waterfall.  We ate outside at the restaurant, just as most of us were finishing our meals, it began to pour.  A few of us wound up staying and drinking coffee for a couple of hours until it finally let up.  The ride back to the campground was foggy and wet, but that's what Gore-tex was invented for!!  The rain subsided as we returned and the stars came out to make a lovely evening.  We made lots of new friends and renewed a couple of old ones.

So Bill, now you're committed, for a rally that you weren't sure was going to get off the ground, you've sure made a success of it!!
