Kathy, almost the identical thing happened to us last Labor Day weekend. We had yet to come upon another T@B, but had only owned ours for 6 months at that point. We were camping by a large lake and popular camping/boating area, and had given back-to-back T@B tours. I hadn't even had my breakfast yet when another couple walked up. I thought, "Here we go..." I smiled in greeting, but before I could say anything, Cinda said, "We have a T@B". I think they had to pick me up off the ground. She then pointed behind us, and sure enough, across a wooded area, over in the next loop sat their "T@Bin in the Woods". I was soooo excited! It was great visiting with them! They're members of this site, but I don't see many posts from them.
Tell us more about the Iowa rally. We're in southern IL...
