We really enjoyed the CC rally. The Albany Expo center was a good facility. The meals catered there were great. We were parked in a sea of 385 Country Coaches. We were dry camped and had our first experience with the "honey wagon" which is a big tank truck that empties your holding tanks.
We enjoyed the technical seminars and took a full day driver safety course plus a half day of hands on driver training. It was great hearing Bob Lee, CC founder, speak of how he grew up on a farm in a small Idaho town. He graduated in a H.S. class of six. He told of how he founded the company and began making pickup camper tops.
CC had a simi trailer full of parts and did free service for the attendees. We also got free service on our awning, roof vent fans, and tow bar provided by the vendors.
We found our fellow CC owners very friendly. We also ran into a couple we had made the Mexico Copper Canyon trip with. He spotted my Tilley hat. He wears one as well and a long sleeve shirt - he's a dermatologist.
The best part of the rally was the visit to the factory. The company put on a big pic nic. The CC owners had on blue t-shirts and the company employees wore green ones. We enjoyed seeing all the employees who had built our coach.

Dear Irene and George. I found your blog by chance and find it really interesting.
Even if it seems a bit weird as a request, I would like to know more about the way you live in your bus!
I hope not to appear too curious.
best regards
Sébastien (France)
