Friday, March 16, 2007, today is the last day of the pre-rally. We have had a lot of fun meeting new people either at happy hour, ice cream socials, breakfast or dinner. One of the local RV Dealerships have had new models of Holiday Ramblers here on display for all of us, Dave and I were thinking about trading in our 2006 Endeaver for a 2007 Scepter 42 footer, want to wait and see all the different kinds of other models on display at the Perry Rally. Probably won't do it because we don't want to have house payments again, plus ours only has 11,000 miles on it, it's fun to think about though. This afternoon we played bean bag baseball and the team I was on won, I had never played that before it was fun.
It started raining here yesterday and this afternoon the spring on our awning for our slide broke. Dave had to drive down to the Monaco rally and find the awning company to come to where our rig is to fix it. The guy got here but doesn't have the stuff to fix it here so hopefully when we are at the Perry rally he can do the work there. He had to remove the awning so we can pull our slide in for the caravan tomorrow. We were told at the caravan meeting this morning that we will have a police escort to get us all on the freeway together then we have to leave about a 2 motorhome gap between each motorhome for on coming cars on the on ramps. I guess when we get to the other end we will get some other kind of escort to loop us all around the outside of town so we don't mess up the middle of town with the thousands of motorhomes showing up. Our time to go into the fairgrounds is 8:30 a.m., everyone has time slots and it goes on all day and night, it should be fun to see.
Tonight is the last happy hour and cowboy meal, and it's western wear contest. Dave and I went and got cowboy shirts, and hats. I also got a levi skort and western belt, we never did have any luck finding cheap cowboy boots. You know cowboy shit is expense, especially boots, so luckily we found cheap hats and clothes.
That's it for now, will write again once we are at the FMCA Rally.
