RVing and Antique Cars!



When one is involved in the RV business as we are, it is possible to lose sight of the many uses that encompass the RVing lifestyle. This past week we met with some members and former members of a RV club that we belonged to. We ate and met in large groups while we reminiscing about past Rallies and things that we did together. That lifestyle was a big part of our early RV experiences as many with the same brand of coach met and were united around the experiences of using their coach to travel together or meet at various attractions. This event was scheduled at Blyth, ON, a small rural community which has the distinction of an excellent summer live theatre and drama festival and it is the location of an 800 suite “Rally Park”. The grassy sites have posts with 8 or 10 electricity and water hook-ups, some with 30 amp service, although the majority of sites have access to 15 amp power. For those “south of the border” readers, this level of services is much more common than full service sites. The park is the focal point of many agricultural community focused events throughout the year and many arrive with their RV.
After our Rally we heard that there would be an antique car meet (we all have a lingo for our get-togethers) and we decided to stay and watch the events unfold. Many arrived with RV’s of various styles a day or two early and then returned driving their antique vehicle. Others arrived with their RV towing their antique vehicle on a trailer or dolly. The truly adventurous used the antique vehicle to actual tow their RV to the meet. I have included some photos of those and will include a few others of some of the truly beautifully restored antique cars and trucks that gathered here this week.
