Day 6 of the National Cedar Creek Rally

We opted out of today's activity, which was a visit to the American BBQ Festival in Kansas.  We had some things to do around the trailer, and are just BBQ'ed out! 

Little did I know that our day would start so early.  Mark took Butch out around 7:10am, came back inside 5 minutes later and said, "get up, we're gonna take the bed apart and look at the mechanism underneath."  Huh???  This is not "easing into my morning." 

The mechanism underneath the bed.

The bedroom slide has been crooked since day 1 of owning it.  It's always bugged us, but we don't believe it's really hurting anything.  The factory in Indiana will fix it if we just take it up there.  Since we're surrounded by fellow Cedar Creek owners, the guys all talk about their numerous repairs and alterations.  Several said that making these adjustments would be easy.  Easy for them - not their trailer.  We decided to live with it, after taking the bed and underneath apart.

We got all that done before the 9:00am breakfast in the clubhouse.  Afterwards we tackled the hemming of the five roman shades we had put up over the winter.  Since I didn't have my sewing machine with me all winter, I brought it along this week for that very purpose.

Slowly but surely, the entire group (26) ended up at our trailer for the afternoon.  Finally at 6:30p, we headed to a local restaurant for a very healthy dinner of pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, and gigantic onion rings with two other couples and left everyone else sitting in our yard. 

When we arrived back at the park at 8:00, the gang was still outside our trailer.  It's 10:57pm, and the last of the group has just left.  

Tomorrow we gather at 10 in the morning for the last planned outing.
