Another New Adventure!

Since we weren't going to the FMCA rally but wanted to go in on a day pass we needed to find a spot in the area for a couple of nights. Not having much success with anything "close" we decided to join Lew & Dottie Anderson along with a few others who were going to the old fairgrounds in Warner Robins, GA. We had to stay in Macon until after the caravan of coaches left from the rally going to Perry. They began to depart around 9:00 and it was some time before they all got out! It was actually kind of fun to see the 200 coaches being staged and moved out in some orderly fashion! Glad that I wasn't out there "directing" since it was darn cold and you had to bundle up to stay warm! Quite a difference from the first few days in Macon when we turned on the AC! We only had to drive about 10 miles so we didn't even have time to get the engine warmed up! :-)

It's hard to believe that at one time a Monaco rally was held here with over 700 coaches! Now some of the land has been sold off and there's not much left! I think there are about 10 electric plug-ins, water and a dump site. It's close to Perry (where the FMCA rally is being held) and the price is right! Close to the dump is an area that has horses. Around the horses is an electrical wire about waist high. I took Tess over to see the horses and she barked, and barked and barked at them. The horses looked at Tess wondering "what the heck is this little black and white thing and why is it making so much noise"! Tess being the BRAVE dog that she is jumped everytime either I or one of the three horses moved or made a noise! At one point Tess jumped up and touched the electrical wire. She jumped, yelped and oh my gosh...it was so funny! I'm sure she thought that one of the horses had done it (zapped her)! No more barking and she was as docile as anything! You just had to be there but it was hilarious!

After we got all settled, Dottie and I headed to the local Super Wal-Mart to stock up on groceries! After four nights of no cooking, it was back to "normal"! Besides making dinner it was pretty much a relaxing evening and recuperating from the hectic days of the rally! Sunday was a day to sleep in late and catch up! Today we did some chores around the motorhomes and decided to have pizza for dinner. A trip "into" town to a local pizzeria. Don had a shirt on from Humphrey's in Gillette, WY. The young girl at the counter read his shirt and was so excited! Her dad lived in Gillette and she would be going there this summer. We made quite a stir at the counter as we told them briefly of our motorhome lifestyle! It's amazing the reactions we get when people find out we're just traveling all over the U.S. in our motorhomes! Yummy pizza and great friends made for another enjoyable evening! Tomorrow we head into the FMCA rally for the day!
