Thursday, February 8, 2007 still here in Gila Bend, the rally started today. Yesterday was registration all day long, Dave and I worked the check-in table from 3pm to 5pm with 2 other people but most had checked in by then so we only collected $200, the registration is only $10.00 a person, what a deal. Don't understand how they can hold a 3 day rally with so little money, a lot of volunteer's I guess, still they have free hot dog lunch one day, and each morning they have a free continental breakfast. They have over 200 that signed up for this rally, this park we are at is full so people are either at the Elk's lodge, down the street at the Shell Gas Station RV Park or they are dry camping in the back of this RV park we are at. I'd have to say they are more 5th wheels here then RV's but everyone has a satellite dish, plus some of the one's that are dry camping have lots of solar panels that lift up on the top of their rigs and that's how they get their power, needless to say they have all those panels because they do a lot of dry camping, that's not for me. The weather here is sunny and 80 degrees so I'm working on my tan again.
Bye for now.

This may sound like a silly question, but what exactly is a rally? What do you do at a rally?

The rally's are a get together of people that share a similar interest. The rally's we go to are with people that either have 5th wheels or motorhomes. At these rallys they have people (experts) talk about different systems inside your rigs. This one we are at is about Satellite dishes for your computers. Other kind of vendors show up trying to sell you things and give talks on waterless washing of rigs and cars ect., geocaching, tire safety devices, LED lighting for RV's. The one in March we are going to in Georgia is with the Holiday Rambler Motorhome group, so everyone at that get together will have a Holiday Rambler just like us.

Thanks for asking Marisa! Having married into the racing family, I thought it was a race for motorhomes. I actually got excited to go see it!
