Today was the last day of our "Shipwrecked in Orlando" rally. One by one everyone left the fairgrounds. Everyone left on their own power...except this one! This guy (who we don't know...and he probably wants to keep it that way) drove into soft, wet dirt...otherwise known as mud! With the weight of most of our motorhomes it proved to be too much and he got stuck! A tow truck was called and there was quite an audience as the tow truck pulled the motorhome out of the mud! I told Lew that if he had gotten 
donuts we could have sold them and made a profit off those that were watching!
We had a great time at the rally! It's always fun to meet up with friends that you have made at other rallies or on the road. Of course, we drink and eat way too much! On Monday, the day "before" the rally, Monaco had heavy hors devours and wine. This is when they opened up the coaches for all of us to get a "preview" of them. Tuesday morning was our first breakfast, seminars, crafts, the vendors opened up for business, and once again the
coaches are available for viewing. Later that afternoon we enjoyed "Rum Runner Punch", went in for another great dinner and finished off with some great entertainment! Wednesday morning was breakfast again, a craft class where we made a sun catcher with crystals, beer and wine (we skipped this - it was too cold AND rainy), dinner and another night of entertainment! Thursday morning we once again had breakfast, but this day we had to get there in the rain! Luckily it was only sprinkling by the time we went to breakfast and the rain seemed to stop for the rest of the 
day. I left to do some shopping (Target, Bath and Body, Pier One...had fun browsing!) and made it back in time for dinner. Once again, we skipped the Champagne social they had but made it in for dinner and entertainment. I think I forgot to mention that there is a "happy hour" before dinner so missing the socials isn't a big deal! Our entertainment at this rally was a performance by a country group out of Branson, a comedian and a Motown "impersonating" group. They were all fun to watch!

Don and Vicki,
Just noticed your comment about having to buy two new tires.
Do you recall a few months ago Bob Clerk and I were complaining about the shuddering while we were braking. I finally determined my cause was that the front tires were getting quite "knobby" on the outside.
Last July we swapped out the two front tires with the duals on the right back. The shuddering went away and we saved a thousand dollars! We never noticed any vibration from the rear tires.
If you have an other problem, you might want to consider swapping rather than replacing.
We missed you guys in Quartzsite this year. Are you by chance doing the FMCA pre-rally in Salem this August? If so, Darlene and I look forward to seeing you.
Roy and Darlene Leggitt
