THE CITY
Come explore Chattanooga Tennessee with
us. As with many Southern cities,
Chattanooga has gone through a Renaissance to become an exciting destination
with dozens of things to do. Frequently
listed nationally as a great vacation destination.
This is a beautiful city situated on both sides of the wide Tennessee River with a pedestrian bridge allowing easy access between the busy modern downtown and the quirky artsy North Shore.
Visitors have traveled to Chattanooga for more than a century to visit famous Rock City and Ruby Falls atop Lookout Mountain, and the nearby Chickamauga Battlefield.
Now they also come to its famous aquarium, the
highly respected Hunter Museum of American Art in the Bluff View Arts district
and the wonderful Tennessee River Park, a 13 mile walking/biking path along the
river bank that stretches from the old steel mills, past river-view eateries,
on up to the dam. The blue pedestrian bridge links it all to the North Shore
village and parks.
Your rally fee will cover a dinner cruise on
the Tennessee River, trolley tour, tour of the big-rig tow truck manufacturing
plant, 2 breakfasts and Friday dinner.
THE RV PARK
Hawkins Pointe is a brand new RV park catering
to high end, self-contained coaches, owned by a former SECC members John and
Karen Hawkins. We will be their first rally. Their web site is a work in
progress and please understand that it is still winter there. It will be
continuously updated as Spring and landscaping arrives. Apple Maps has been
slow to get them listed, but yes, they are there. The old Holiday campground
known for flooding is across the road. Hawkin’s very large bus barn will be our
rally meeting area with kitchen and BBQ, fire pit. John is very meticulous in
everything he does so it will be exciting to see the results. We have been told that their internet is one
of the best around.
John is VP of Manufacturing at Miller
Industries, manufacturers of the huge tow trucks that haul 18 wheelers and
coaches like our CCs. We will have a special tour of the factory.
We have a great rate of $50. Reserve your site
now. Remember to tell them you are part of the rally.

Rally Report
Anchor Down and Kentucky Horse Park Rally
We all had a great time at our rally last week. It all started off with a pre-rally at the new Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge TN. It's just west of Sevierville TN but quiet and so beautiful there. Our Rally Coordinator Charles McGairty had recommended this new place and we all had a wonderful stay. Most of us were in the upper section with the best views. These stone fireplaces were at each spot.
On the pre-rally were Sanders, Bordes, Cassingham, Conway, and Loftfields.
The five of we SECCers were joined by 18 Nor'Easters who had caravanned down to join us before
heading up to Lexington. It was hard to leave such a peaceful place.
The Kentucky Horse Park Rally was a joint SECC rally with CCI. Our own Velma & Hollis Williams'
permanent home is in Lexington and Velma headed up the organizing of this amazing rally. Velma
was really enjoying herself. She retired this year.. once again...and says some of these places she
had never visited even though she grew up in Lexington.
We were able to fit in a social hour for SECC. We had 18 coaches at the rally and two
who could not make it. Buddy and Ann Bordes have an outdoor TV so it was a great place
to get together and still allow the football fans to follow their game. By the way, that lady
sitting on the left with the curly blond hair is Marta. Her hair has grown back in curly!
We were kept busy with great tours: a local winery with
lunch &
entertainment, Keeneland Race
track, Shaker Village, a stud farm,
downtown Lexington, a drive along country roads with the
iconic stone fences, and
Buffalo Trace bourbon brewery
,
the oldest one in the country
start
e
d back in the 1700s.
One of the best tours was the Toyota manufacturing plant, their largest at over 1300 acres, the size of 156 football fields. We were glad we were driven around in a tram.
It produces 2,000 cars a day. We were not allowed to take any photos. Could not even take a cell phone into the plant. It was incredibly enormous and busy all around and overhead. They aren't just an assembly plant like most car plants are now. They even do
their own
stamping.
The stud farm visit was fascinating. It is a serious business. This stallion, Shackelford,
was brought out for us to see fairly close. Stallions are very hard to handle and he was
constantly trying to bite his handler. Shackelford commands a $20,000 stud fee and he
must perform 3-5 times a day
,
almost every day of the year. However, they are only paid
once each foal is born strong and healthy. That is only around 60% of the births.
We lunched at Buffalo Trace Brewery & the toured the buildings. It was a good thing we came
in 3 buses as there were whole cases of bourbon and their new Bourbon cream that came home
with the members.
An SECC rally would not be complete without dancing with Chris. The last evening we had some
light bluegrass entertainment and Chris could not help himself. He was right up on the dance floor
motioning members to join
him. Last time we saw Chris his legs were giving him a bad time, but
his new braces are making a big difference.
It was such a nice end to our rally.

THANK YOU VELMA
And thank you as well to CCI Rally Coordinator & SECC member Tammy Toalson.

SECC/CCI Rally Kentucky Horse Park
Dear friends
The Kentucky Horse Park rally is a joint rally between our club and
Country Coach Club. Members Velma Williams and CCI President Lee
Zaborowski And CCI Rally Coordinator Tammy Toalson, both also a SECC
members, put this rally together for us.
George and I have stayed at this park several times. It is a state
park that once was a very large thriving horse farm. The site is really
beautiful and quiet, set on rolling green hills. It represents the best
of Kentucky. As campers we were amazed that we had full access , through
the back gate, to the horse park after closing. We rode our bikes
around frequently, sometimes driving over in our car over to the small
arena where there always seemed to be some horse competition, from
dressage to cattle roping. FREE!
There are many quaint towns nearby to visit . We particularly
enjoyed the tiny state capital of Frankfort, a beautiful Victorian town
near cliffs.
This should be a really great rally. There are only a few sites left. Won't you join us?
LEXINGTON,
KY
Oct 6, 2016 - Oct 11, 2016

leading U.S. tourist attraction for all things “horse” and one of the world’s
best equine competition facilities. This facility has to be on every horse
lovers bucket list. Nevertheless, everyone will find this a fascinating
destination. One of the aims of the park is to represent every horse in the
world so you will see some unusual breeds from around the world. This is home
to many of America’s most famous Thoroughbreds; either retired or laid to rest.
Your rally package will include admission to the world-renowned International
Museum of the Horse, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the American

An
unofficial get-together?
You'll
notice that the rally in May 2014 is missing. Negotiations on that rally in
Greenville, SC have fallen
through.
Anyone up for just meeting the first week in May for an unofficial get-together
for good food and relaxation? Lake Toxaway, Asheville, Chattanooga,
suggestions?
RESERVE NOW!!
Plans are firm for the Virginia Beach rally, Sept. 11-15. hosted by members Hank and Stevie Giffin (757-583-8350 slgiffin@cox.net). This is going to be a fun rally at a great location and we are sure everyone will want to arrive early and leave late.
We will camp at Holiday Trav-L-Park, two miles from the oceanfront with its many restaurants, shops, beach, and boardwalk.
There is a great bike path and the campground owns its own parking lot at the beach. We will tour Nauticus (maritime-themed science center & museum) and the Battleship USS Wisconsin (BB64) (www.nauticus.org), plus take a harbor cruise on the 135 ft. 3-masted topsail schooner American Rover (www.americanrover.com).

We will tour Nauticus (maritime-themed science center & museum) and the Battleship USS Wisconsin (BB64) (www.nauticus.org), plus take a harbor cruise on the 135 ft. 3-masted topsail schooner American Rover (www.americanrover.com).
Other available tours include the 800,000 gallon Virginia Aquarium (www.virginia aquarium.com) just 2 miles away; the Virginia Beach Military Aviation Museum (one of the largest collections of WWI and WWII era military aircraft in the world – www.militaryaviationmuseum.org) 10 miles away; the Ocean breeze Waterpark one mile away (www.OceanBreezeWaterpark.com); and a tour of the largest naval base in the world. This week precedes the Blue Angels air demonstration show (Sept 19-21) that you can see right from your site or see things close up at the nearby Naval Air Station Oceana. Demand for sites will be high.
Registration forms will go out later as we firm up activities and cost.
With the huge success of the Jacksonville rally the excitement about this rally reached many CCI members who will also want to join us. We have a goal of 50 coaches and regional clubs are invited. Don't wait and regret that the sites near the SECC group are all gone, or that all sites are gone, even in this large park. BOOK NOW!
