Hello everyone! I have just learned the basics of creating a blog allowing all our friends and relatives the ability to check and see what we are up to. Please remember I am experimenting here!
We have been in Goshen since Friday September 7 at an Escapees RV rally. The first 3 days were an educational "boot camp" course on RVs and the life style. There were about 200+ in the course with us. We made many new friends and a saw 2 or 3 couples we met in May at the Life On Wheels course we attended in Bowling Green Kentucky.
On Sunday afternoon the Escapees rally started. There were 847 rigs here with about twice as many people. The days were filled with social breakfast snacks at 7:30am, presentations starting at 8:30am until 4 or 5pm. After that there were "Birds of a Feather" (groups with individuals with common interests such as ham radio, Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross volunteers, RV brands, etc) and Escapee chapters from the US, Canada and Mexico. There were many many RV vendors with just about anything you might want. They filled 2 large fairground buildings and an acre or two outside. We contributed to their bank accounts.
The rally ended Friday morning with a hitch-up breakfast but we have decided to stick around a few more days. Yesterday was a R&R day. Today we explored 2 RV surplus stores in Elkhart. We bought nothing. After that we had a good lunch at a Sicilian deli/restaurant and then explored the RV Museum. Gary and Deb Pearce were with us, we met them in May at Life on Wheels.
When we returned we took a walk around the campground (there is still 100 or 200 RVs here) and watched a 4H group of young kids barrel racing their horses. Some looked like they knew what they were doing and others didn't
See ya....Greg
