Golden Caravan July 10, 2017, 02:33:13 pm I was cleaning up the files on our web server and came across this image. Some of you may have seen this or similar images, but it was the most LD's we've ever seen together. This was at the national Golden Caravan in 2006 celebrating Laze Daze 50th year building RVs.Art 12 Likes

Re: Golden Caravan Reply #4 – July 10, 2017, 03:22:56 pm The Grand Caravan was the biggest gathering ever of the flock. It was a week of numerious fun activities and parties.Most of the forum members, Yahoo then, camped together as a group and it was the beginning of many long friendships. There are still quite a few present forum members that attended.Anyone have the aerial photo on the Grand Caravan, the one that looks like a big used Lazy Daze sales lot?Larry 2 Likes

Re: Golden Caravan Reply #13 – July 10, 2017, 07:17:27 pm I found us!! The LD Yahoo group was over on the right side of the picture. If you look at the second row in from the bottom right you will see one, out of place, size-wise little bitty LD. That is the world famous Gerty!! We had three rigs between her and Ruby. On the outside row across from us we're Jonna and Mimi who I believe moved to Mexico and sold Tortuga and Sapo.Good times. I have pictures lying about too. I tried to upload a video I made stand on Ruby's roof but it was far too large to upload here. 1 Likes
Re: Golden Caravan Reply #14 – July 10, 2017, 07:25:28 pm Good job, Art and Chris! I remember there being about 400 LDs there, but my memory is not always real accurate! Anyone have an actual number? One thing I do remember - and I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one - is having to move my rig into perfect alignment for the aerial shot; some fellow (can't recall who) actually "sighted" down the noses of the rigs! I thought he was joking when he said that I was not "in line" with the others; I said that I never had been, so why start now? I moved anyway; 1 Likes
Re: Golden Caravan Reply #15 – July 10, 2017, 10:04:21 pm huskerblueI know Andy and Gertie were close by because I walked down the street one day having a fine conversation with Andy. And I remember clearly that we (Lazy Bones 2) and myself were diagonally across the street from Larry Wade when he was on his roof giving a demo of his kayak rack. 1 Likes

I moved anyway; The number was over 400, something like 420.Next time we see Rosemary Webb, I will find out.We were exactly spotted in our parking spot, after a few failed attempts, by Evelyn, I remember her spiffy sports bra.We were parked a several sites away from Gertie and across from Linda and Armando, alumni friends we still see at the Morro Bay GTG. Jonna and Mimi's ('party central) were across the road and down a couple sites.Chris and Pat were somewhere nearby, along with Gus Weber. Kate and Terry were near Andy.Good times with the Yahoo group.It's been all down hill since.Larry 1 Likes

We were neighbors.Jonna and Mimi move to Merida, in the Yucatan. Turns out there is a large American expat population living there.Larry
Re: Golden Caravan Reply #19 – July 11, 2017, 10:25:19 pm Dang, I remember that kayak carrying demo. We only stayed a few days. Kristine and I ran into a younger couple Darryl and Jenny and hung with them.Wow, time sure flys. 11 years plus.
Re: Golden Caravan Reply #20 – July 12, 2017, 05:26:57 pm If my memory is right, just over 300 were there. It was a blast!

There could have been a few out of the photo on the fringes, and not all the folks may have been there on the day of the photo.Chris
Re: Golden Caravan Reply #22 – July 12, 2017, 06:04:22 pm Would be great if some folks who attended the rally would post some of their rally related pics.I've downloaded the last two and posted them to our groups website.H.T.NE 26 1 Likes
Re: Golden Caravan Reply #23 – July 12, 2017, 06:56:20 pm For those of you who are genuinely interested, you may want to contact the Caravan Club and see if by chance copies of the original DVD are available, or perhaps some generous soul on this forum would make copies of their personal disc.
