Welcome to the 'Official Blog of the Open Road' (blog.rv.net) The very best part of the rally for us was spending time in the RV.net boot with Leslie and David. They're *really* good people. Oh ... and the reason nobody was in the Exhibit hall yesterday after 2 ... they were all in our 'Internet on the Road' seminar! They had to move us to a bigger room to accommodate over 300 people! :-) Nick, I know they’re going to love you on RV.net’s blog!

Not a good event for vendors though. When we were in the concession business, we noticed that as soon as the economy started to decline, for whatever reason, festivals and food etc., were some of the first things to go in the budget. It is probably a better early indicator than most of the more "sophisticated" methods out there. While there are still a lot of people RVing, they just aren't spending money on the "extras". We frequently reconsider a purchase in light of the uncertain economy right now. Don't know what the future will bring, so we better be frugal for a while longer:-) Congrats on your new opportunity. The timing for the sale of your bus might not have been right, but the timing for an opportunity to increase your income in order to buy a MH was sure right. Good luck with it.

When it 1st started, the Admin sent out "blanket PMs" to people active on the forums who had they own blogs. Nick
