Salem Oregon Fair Grounds

We arrived yesterday morning at the Fairgrounds here where the Rally will get started at noon today. I believe they have about 500 rigs coming and about 400 showed up yesterday so it took awhile for everyone to get parked.
Short recap of the last couple days.

Friday Dave, Stan and Joe went and checked out the Spruce Goose and Air Museum in McMinnville while us ladies went to some wineries. Friday night we BBQ'd Salmon and Halibut and the guys started drinking scotch and kept on drinking. While the ladies went back to our rigs to do dishes the guys decided to go to the Elks lodge and have a night cap. Well, luckily the 3 of them had each other to lean on to make it home. The bartender wasn't even going to let them leave unless they were camping in the parking lot, boy they tied on good ones.

Saturday night we were all having dinner in our coach when I went to check on the dogs, Valley and Ginger's dog Katie, and Katie was throwing up. Stan and Ginger took her home where then she started foaming out her mouth and nose. They rushed her to the vet where she stayed over night, they took xrays but didn't know what was wrong with her. She had a big knot in her stomach so they thought she might had eaten a plastic bag. When we got settled yesterday at the fairgrounds they went and picked her up. The vet said it was a reaction from what they don't know, spider bite, food she may have picked up but she looks fine and acts like nothing was ever wrong so that's good.
Forgot to mention, Stan and Joe are retired Airline pilots and the stories they tell, it just scares the hell out of you about what pilots do.

Went walking around the rigs yesterday and ran into a couple we met 2 years ago when we 1st went to Camp Monaco repair facility in Harrisburg Oregon, Clark and Mary Ann, so they are going to join with the rest of us.
This morning walking around saw a rig of some people we met in Wildwood Florida at the Monaco facility there.
