Our First National Rally

Day 2 of our first Cedar Creek Rv Rally is in the books. Apparently there is a standard format for these things that include starting the day with coffee every morning at the rally clubhouse. Several of us arrived yesterday but most folks arrived today. We have met so many new friends that we all have to wear name tags to have any chance at remembering names. Some of the people here know each other from previous rallys but for the most part we are meeting for the first time. It seems that in the world of RVing the only thing you need to get a conversation started is any common ground about nearly any subject. In the case of a specific brand RV rally everyone has common interests before you even get started. It amazes us that we all seem to have the kinds of problems with our rigs and that without any coordination we all seems to have gotten to nearly the same solutions.

Tonight we came together at the clubhouse to have a dinner and introduce ourselves to the group. The schedule for the week was discussed and then once again different conversations broke out all around the room. A little later in the evening we had a campfire and Hobo Pies. This was a first for us. They are made with two slices of white bread with fruit in the middle and then toasted over the coals until crispy. Very good stuff!

The one thing that tied the day together for us was walking Butch numerous times. Since he thinks that 6 AM is wake up and go outside time we decided to walk around the RV park with him whenever we had some free time. The goal is to tire him to the point that he'll sleep a little longer. It would seem that male dogs want to spritz every verticle thing they see even when they are are out of spritzing fluid. We aren't sure if we wore him out but we certainly are going to sleep well tonight! Tomorrow we head for Cabella's for an outdoor cooking demo with some free eats and some attendance prizes. Unfortunately it looks like the rain is coming along for the next two days.
