Day 5 of The National Cedar Creek Rally

Today the rain has ended, the sun came out and things are drying up. We started the day being woken up by a local contractor that we hired to wash and wax the fifth wheel. This is something that we would normally do ourselves but this campground doesn't allow us to wash the rig. The fellow we hired carries his own water in a large tank on a trailer and he power washes the roof and sides first. Then he treats the roof and finally he and his helper wax the trailer. It was such a good deal that he contracted to do at least three other rigs attending the rally.

At noon we gathered at the clubhouse to carpool to the Harry S. Truman Library. We rode over with Steve and Carol, the couple from Montana that set everything up for the rally. They are the only couple about our age and they also have a 2010 Ford F350 Dually we rode in that would really look great towing our Fifth wheel. Steve arranged for a docent to lead our group through the library and share a more personal viewpoint of Truman's life and times. We needed someone like this to help us wade through all the information when we visited the Nimitz museum of the Pacific War last month!

When we got back to the RV park there was just enough time for a cocktail before everyone gathered at the rally hall for a potluck dinner. These people can really cook. There was so much food that everyone  had all they could eat and there was leftovers of almost everything. Following the dinner we played the Fast Pass Dice Game. Very similar to Rob Your Neighbor but much faster and crazier.

Finally, we sat around the campfire for a couple of hours and then off to rest up for tomorrows fun.
