Rally

We arrived Sunday afternoon and proceeded to get weighed. The staff of the rally seem to be very well organized. The weighing went well and we were escorted to our site. This is a very nice park. The facilities are top notch. The sites are a little uneven but acceptable.
We met Ted and Donna here and we proceeded to get set up.
We are heavy to the right rear side, as I suspected, so I will rearrange the load today.

Sunday night we had a catered meal of BBQ chicken and 'pulled pork'. It is not like Memphis BBQ, but it was tasty. We sat and enjoyed meeting some new folks and renewing past acquaintances. Ted, Donna, Brenda and I went back to our site and sat out and talked. The temps during the day are pleasant and cool at night. No bugs, and low humidity. Lovely. What a pleasant change from where we have been recently.

Yesterday, we had "coffee with the mayor". He is actually a mayor of a small town in WI. He makes coffee and someone brings pastries and we sit and tell lies to one another. This is a guy thing so we don't see many ladies if any.

There is a scavenger hunt going on with this rally and we went with the Rogers looking for (the items (IRV2 tickets). The tickets are at different merchants. This is Amish country and this gives us a chance to get out and see this pretty part of our country and support some of the local merchants. The people have been very friendly. We collected 4 of the 5 tickets. We will go out again today and complete the hunt.

We had a seminar on fire safety and it was very informative. He was really good and opened many eyes to the risk of fire in one of the RVs. It was so much more informative than any other fire training that I have ever been to. He spoke for 2 1/2 hours and could have gone on for much longer.

Last night we had hamburgers, hot dogs and dishes furnished by the attendees. It was very good and a real treat to taste the food from different regions.
Afterwards we had a small band followed by a campfire. The campfire ring of folks is very large and it is hard to socialize, but we had a good time.

The organizers of this rally have done a remarkable job of putting this rally together. Mike (islapp) and Joe (joe-k) are very visible and working diligently to make sure everyone has a good time.

Ta ta for now
