    Just a bit more information for the Zipline. Participants must wear shoes that have closed toes and closed heels. Shorts are allowed but short shorts are discouraged. This is because when wearing the harness that is required for using the zipline short shorts would or might be fairly uncomfortable. Other than that wear comfortable cloths that suit the weather conditions. While I will try to get to everyone prior to May 5th at 1pm, the actual meeting place for the beginning of the zipline tour is right in the Main Lodge - just to the left as you enter the front doors. If I get any further details, I'll be sure to pass them along. Bill

    I too have been having this problem - on and off - for a number of weeks now. I know that Jason has been looking into it. Bill

    Scotty - I'm fairly sure that it was not Pete and I know for sure that it was not me. Mike - That wasn't me either! Darn it! Bill

    At the suggestion of Montanaoliver entries under this thread have been moved to a new thread titled "Using Fasteners and drilling in fiberglass". Bill p.s. thanks to Mark for the suggestion!

    For 2018 Rally I will have 1/2 inch PEX water line (usable for both hot and cold water) with me that is suitable for cutting into 2 to 4 foot lengths to be used for emergency repairs while on the road. Just stop by site G-13 and cut what you think you might need (free!) - I have two three foot sections that I leave in the area down by the water pump. This plus a few "Shark-bite" fittings should allow you to repair most water problems. Bill

    OOPS! Sorry Matteo I simply forgot. Certainly it would be a bit difficult for you to be doing installations without actually being there. Bill

    G&T - I don't recall seeing a complete list of which vendors are attending. The only specific one mentioned as attending was Andersen. Hopefully Coy will see this and respond. Bill

    Sweet! In this day and age it seems that it is becoming ever more difficult to convince people that there truly is a good product out there with great people standing behind what they build. It is so good to hear that you have proven for yourself what many of us have been saying here for years. Thanks! Keep those pictures coming and stay safe. Bill p.s. Obviously there was no rain, bugs, grease, tar, etc. on that drive down to the lower 48! Nice clean truck with a nice clean Ollie.

    "Cramped but safe" I don't know - a dachshund should have plenty of room, but, probably wouldn't make much of a bird dog. Really a nice looking rig - well put together with really classy wheels too. Bill

    The numbers are in, the reservations made, and our fates are sealed. We have a total of 12 intrepid souls "doin'" level 2 of the Screaming Eagle Zipline on Saturday, May 5th at 1pm. Those 12 are: Mike & Krunch, Yvonne & Doug, Pete, Steve, Chris, Rob & Vicki, Debbie, Clair and Bill. The total cost per person including taxes, fees, and prayers is $97.15 which has already been paid to the Park. With the exception of Mike & Krunch, who paid previously, I will accept either cash or check at the Rally. If anyone has questions prior to the Rally, they can either post it here or via a PM to me prior to Wednesday of next week (May 2nd). After that I'll be at the Rally in site G-13. THIS should be a bunch of fun - can't wait to get on the line! Bill

    Mike & Krunch - I'm hull #117 and picked up in February, 2016. I just added water to my batteries last week and the bulb is exactly like it was the day I picked up Twist. No problems at all and no signs of aging. Canoe 12 - I assume that your questions are being addressed to Mike & Krunch? Bill

    Last Call! Tomorrow (Wednesday) at high noon is the cut off for joining the bravest group attending the 2018 Rally. We are doin' level two on Saturday, May 5th at 1pm. Details can be found on the Park's website. After this cut off time it is possible to still join the group but a discount from the usual posted price ($99) will not be possible. If you have interest, either PM me or simply reply to this post. Bill

    I just deleted another half dozen spam postings! These guys are ridiculous! Bill

    Glad you got Snowball out! With regards to the water pump switch near the outside shower - ScubaRx has done that mod and I've been meaning to do it myself. Perhaps - if you are going to the Rally we can get Steve to give us a little show and tell. Can't be too hard - its just a switch or two. Bill

    Matt - When you have more details regarding the TV schedule, please post them (i.e. exactly when the Oliver might be featured). Not only would this be nice to see, but, we could pass the word along to non-Oliver people that just might be interested. Bill
  16. topgun2
    WOW! Right you are - were. Looks like Jason and/or Matt got on it and things are getting back to normal. Bill
  17. topgun2
    Kathy - Clair has now "officially" been added to the list and the great news is that this now qualifies ALL of us for a discount on the regular price. I am going to wait until our deadline of Wednesday at high noon to finalize everything with the Park. Just after I call them I will post here exactly what everyone owes and the total details as to where we should meet etc. Thanks for joining the group, Clair! Perhaps we can make Kathy the official photographer? We now have the ten "new" people the Park required plus the two that made reservations previously for a total of 12. If anyone else is interested prior to high noon Wednesday (April 25th) we can have as many as 15 total. Bill
  18. topgun2
    Debbie - Consider yourself added! Now, all we need is one more brave person for that discount. Discount or not I've got the list and am ready to gooooooooo. Bill
  19. topgun2
    Yeah for Rob and Vicki! I thought that because of the them we all can share in a 10% discount! Unfortunately, two of the ten we presently have had already made and paid for a reservation. The Park is insisting that in order to get this discount we have a total of 10 NEW people. So, let's beat the bushes and get two more. At least the Park agreed to let us have until Wednesday (April 25th) at high noon to add the two additional people. Looks like a great group so far! If anyone else would like to join us (up to another 5 people) just let me know (here or via a PM) and I will take care of the arrangements. Bill

    Just came across this new video. Just who is that doing the narration?
  21. topgun2
    Less than 24 hours left to get in on the "Screaming Oliver" zip line group. Either PM me or simply post here if you have interest in joining us no later than 12 noon tomorrow (Sunday) April 22. Thanks! Bill

    To anyone who is still thinking about risking life and limb on the zipline - we need a couple of more fools (sorry - I meant to say folks) to join us and could accommodate up to 7 or so. Our reservation is for 1pm on Saturday May 5th and we are "doing" level two. The cost is $99 per person unless we get at least 10 (presently we are at 7 or 8) in order to get the 10% group discount. However, you must let me know no later than Sunday, April 22 at high noon (sounds ominous doesn't it?) if you want to join us. Bill
  23. topgun2
    OK, so, here we go! I just called the Zipline people and for Saturday May 5th we have a "reservation" for 1pm. If we can get a total of 10 people to take advantage of this "reservation" we will each receive a discount of 10% off the standard $99 fee. In looking at those that have expressed interest, we do have a total of ten, but, Mike and Krunch have already made a reservation for Sunday at 10am. In order to not interfere with any Oliver related presentations, the Saturday afternoon at 1pm is about our only choice. Two other stipulations on getting the discount is that we pay with one check or credit card and that we confirm the reservation (with payment) no later than Sunday (April 22) at 2pm. I would be happy to be the "banker" and everyone can simply write me a check or pay me cash. Either PM me or simply reply directly here. Bill p.s. the people at the zipline told me that from start to finish we can expect to take between 2 and 4 hours.

    Certainly I feel your pain. When one reads the story about the Outlaw Oliver and the "custom" work that was done there (and elsewhere) and compares that to what appears to be the current situation, I'm sure that it can be a bit frustrating. Even what appear to be fairly simple requests are met with the same response - "no". However, it seems to me that this looks like a case of "be careful of what you ask for". We, as a group, clamored for better quality and subjected the Company to a fair amount of abuse/criticism (justified or not) over these types of issues. Then, when the Company decides to concentrate on quality by limiting the number of deviations from the norm (custom work), once again we find ourselves in the position of not liking the result. Hopefully, one day, the Company will once again find itself in a position where they can accept custom work. I believe that I have a better, more comfortable and enjoyable camper because of the suggestions of the owners that came before me. But, in the final analysis, I'd rather have a quality unit that I can then modify and or customize later than a lesser built unit with a bunch of bells and whistles. Bill p.s. cool logo!

    I suspect that a 44 magnum would work a bunch better.
