The Headlines!

We will be at the Outer Banks on May 9th and I know others will be coming soon after... Looking forward to seeing you all. Take a look at the Agenda. It is posted.

Watch for updates from Spike on our Fall Rally in Williamsburg!

I have added a new page called the Traveler's Page.. Take a look and see where our members are, Maybe if they are close by, you can stop in for a visit..


The Peterson Industries Web Page now has registration information for the  2008 Balloon Fiesta. www.excelrvs.com

Spike and Marilyn Seligson have had some health problems over the winter and hopefully are on the mend. If you get the chance, drop them a line and wish them well. They are planning to attend the rally at this time if at all possible.


The Excel Club Mid-Atlantic,
 
is comprised of Excel 5th wheel camper owners from Maine to Florida and east of the Mississippi River. As more clubs are established in this area, we will redefine our boundaries. Our Club meets twice yearly in the spring and in the fall. The Excel campers are manufactured by Peterson Industries of Smith Center Kansas.


This website is intended to supply our members with club information, entertainment and a place to exchange ideas throughout the year. We hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to our new web site!

To our travelers, please write a bit about your travels and I'll put them on our blog page. I will be just cutting and pasting so send it as you want it to appear on the web site. Please include a few pictures to enhance your stories. This can be fun if you guys will send your contributions.

From Paul and Cheryl Stolze in Texas...
We went to our first race of the year yesterday.  It was a rattlesnake race - yes, the snakes actually race.  Only in Texas.  These good ol' boys know how to have fun.  Drink beer and play with snakes.   Here are a couple pics.

Peterson Industries Host Dinner! by Paul & Cheryl Stolze

The Dinner



On February 20, 2008, Peterson Industries hosted an Excel Owners Appreciation Luncheon at Victoria Palms Resort in Donna, TX.  It was attended by approximately 400 Excel owners who call the Rio Grande Valley their winter home.  The luncheon was hosted by Paul and Kay Harrington.  Paul made special mention of the Excel Club of the Mid-Atlantic -- in fact, we were the only club mentioned -- and stressed that its members travel great distances to attend the meetings, i.e., an average of 500 miles to the Ohio meeting.  We thought this was nice of him to give our Club recognition since we were the only members of the Club present (not to mention the only ones from Pennsylvania).  A great lunch was served, door prizes awarded and a good time had by all.

We have been traveling the Southwest again this year.  The beauty of this part of the country is breathtaking.  We have seen the red rocks of Sedona, taken a train ride through the Verde Canyon in Arizona, been at an altitude of over 10,000 feet above sea level to overlook Albuquerque, and visited Santa Fe to see its unique architecture.  Some of the best Southwestern food was consumed in Las Cruces, NM.  Paul and Mary Wells crossed our path in Arizona and we were fortunate to have some time to visit with them.  They are well and are once again proud grandparents.  When we arrived in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas around Christmas, we were greeted by friends we made here last year.  From there we could visit a little town in Mexico called Neuvo Progreso.  A little excitement has been happening along the border of Texas and Mexico.  The Mexican government is cracking down on corrupt police departments and the drug cartels.  As a result, the Mexican army now has a very obvious presence in the border towns.  Not to fear -- we can still have a wonderful meal and drinks for under $20 including tip -- and the shopping isn't bad either.  We'll be leaving the Rio Grande Valley soon and hopefully heading for Corpus Christi, San Antonio and Austin.  Our fondest wish is that everyone gets the chance to do this - it can't be beat!

Hi club members,
We are spending some time in Florida in the warmth and sun. We have been at Fort Wilderness (sorry Barb and Daryl ) for 17 nights. Met up with Ralph and Cheryl Schey, showed them the campground, and had dinner at the Trails End buffet. Also drove over to the east coast and visited Bob and Sharon Adgate. Nice visits with both couples. Will stay in Florida until the first of April then start the slow journey north. Will be at James Island County Park outside Charleston for a week. Have our reservations for the Outer Banks, so see you then.
