 July 14-15 Cassville, WI Camp over on the river. - Jeff & Kathy Nank

 

I am talking with a Military Vehicles Club about coming out to Erie for an overnight camp out.  They have about 15 trucks and jeeps and a mess wagon.  It will be 16th of June.  They will also invite the Rock Falls chapter which will add another 15+ vehicles.  Cliff Anderson and Willard Brown are heading this up and will keep me in the loop.  They are hoping to make this an annual Rendezvous.  I think this will be a good time for all of us, as they have asked if we could put some of our planes on display.

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? -- it is the same the angels breathe.

— Mark Twain, ‘Roughing It,’ Chapter XXII, 1886.
