The Gathering, Day1

Today was the day of registration for the Gathering.  I helped out by checking people in and giving out badges. It was fun meeting everyone! We had a good turnout, with about 55 rigs and some walk-ins... Over 100 people.

Afterwards we had a short program with John and Kathy Huggins, our hosts...

Kathy looks great, by the way. If you have been following the LTRVD podcasts you are aware that she had some serious health problems this year and almost died. But she has bounced back and she looks and sounds like she did a year ago before all of the health issues. She worked as hard as anyone  this week.

Then the presenters were brought on stage and introduced. Eric and Tami Johnson from Techno RV will be discussing getting the most out of campground free WiFi.

Geeks on Tour Chris and Jim Guld will be covering technology for RVers and various Google apps.

Al Hesselbart, former historian of the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, IN will be discussing the history of RVs.

And Greg Gerber, Editor of the RV Daily Report (and keynote speaker) gave an excellent overview of trends and statistics in the RV world. 

Tomorrow we start at 8:00 am and Go until 9:00 at night. It will be a fun packed day.
