Tuesday March 20, 2007 today the FMCA Rally really begins. The drive over here on Saturday morning was fun, having the police blocking the traffic getting on the freeway and off was neat. Our caravan was only 35 rigs, the Monaco one that came in right behind us was 150 rigs. Boy I wouldn't be a happy camper if I was on my way somewhere and had to wait until all those rigs went thru. They are so well organized here, that have everyone parked right away and leave enough room between rigs, it was really nice. There wasn't the turn out they were hoping for there are only 3,800 rigs. I went to the 1st timers seminar yesterday and they told us that Perry, the town we are in, has only 9,000 population, with all of us in our rigs plus the vendors that are here we total over 11,000, more then Perry's population. They said the mayor of Perry is really happy to have us here. They have 550 new rigs to view here and 175 rigs out in the demo driving area. They did have some seminars yesterday that we went to. We went to Knee-Hip-Ankle Health, boring, then we split up because the seminars went on at the same time, that's when I went to the 1st timers and Dave went to RVing to Alaska. At 3 pm they opened up the gates to where all the 550 rigs are, boy you should have seen all the people lined up to get in there, we waited until the crowd cleared the gates before we went over. Today all the vendors open up, so now the spending begins. Now we will see all the stuff we just can't live without.
