Just came back from a lovely weekend. Earlier this year when I was looking to fill up as many weekends as possible, I heard about "Tin Can Tourists", and on their gatherings site there was a gathering scheduled in Wisconsin (where I am) on a weekend I needed to fill. Although I didn't fit the main profile (new camper, not a vintage), I signed up anyway because I could tell they were a friendly bunch, and I didn't think they would kick me out. 
I've made some new friends, and my instincts were right--they just love to camp and have campfire chats. It was a nice laid back weekend, a few drinks, a few shared meals, a sky lantern launch, and otherwise just new friends hanging out around a campfire.
It was the first year for this particular gathering ("It's the Place To Be", held this year at Green Acre Campground in New Auburn, WI), so it was a small turnout (as these things go), a '68 Avion, a '72 Avion, a (I forget the year) Yellowstone, and around the campfire the group determined that since I just got my 550 in April, that falls under the same time measurement as puppies and babies, so mine was "8 weeks old"
