Bob and Marsha are the couple that showed us their Oliver on Referral from the Factory.

It will be fun to check in with them again!

Dave, done, thank you. You are number 11 Ollie. That will be quite a mini rally.

Greetings!

As of April 1st you can now contact the Lady Bird Johnson RV Park campground to extend your stay after the official Solar Eclipse dates.  We extended our stay for an addition 2 nights to make sure that we miss the crowds and traffic exiting the area.  We will then travel East to visit new and exciting places.

Can't wait to meet you there!

Carl,

Thanks for the heads up.  I extended site 44 for 2 extra days as well.
After that we're heading through Texas and Arkansas to Hohenwald for a yearly service update.
Then we turn back all the way back to California for a daughters party at Disneyland in May...then on up through the Sierra's to home in WA.

We will be at my sister's home in Center Point Sat Sun Mon nights.  Possibly staying at Inks Lake SP the Wed/Thurs/Fri before that if we can get reservations when the 4 month window opens.  If your mini rally has any group dinners or events, we might be able to participate. 

Also, does anyone have recommendations for great stops in AR or TX the last week of March as we make our way there?  Has anyone been to the East TX Arboretum?

Thanks.

As per the first post;

Ralph Mawyer said: “ It's a great little park, but please note, they are really strict about no extra vehicles for that weekend, so that folks don't book a space and invite everyone they know.  Be sure and read the rules.”

This is in NO way an “organized events” rally, there will be no group activity except among the few Ollie owners who are actually camping there.

The town is going to be insanely crowded over that weekend… , I suggest that casual eclipse viewers look elsewhere.

Please keep this thread for the Fredericksburg eclipse only, ask your general questions in a new thread. Thanks.

We were going to drive up after the eclipse to see some fellow Oliver owners since we live just 40 minutes from Fredericksburg and we are in the path of the eclipse.  We visit Fredericksburg often, avoiding weekends.   We’ll stay home that weekend, too.  Mike

So smart to stay home.
Droves will be leaving and you will avoid the “unorganized” traffic congestion. Such a hard pass on attending. 
Be patient.

Sometimes you just get lucky. Amazingly the full solar eclips will be viewable from our back yard in Hancock County Indiana. You know where to find me on that date. 😁

We’ll be able to see the full eclipse from home.  I was going to drive up before or after just to visit any Oliver folks.  Fredericksburg is always busy on weekends, which we avoid.  We go up during the week quite often.  Mike
