The Rally Ends

This was our last day at the Fleetwood Motorhome Association Rally. It was a slow day, but there were some interesting moments. The most interesting part of the day was a two hour panel talking about the full-time RV lifestyle.

Full-timers are people who live in their RVs. They may or may not still own a physical house planted on a piece of property (often called "sticks and bricks" houses), but they live in their RV all the time. There were a lot of full-timers at the Rally and at the panel there were a LOT of wannabes, including Forrest and Mary. Well, at least Forrest. Mary is still in the information collecting stage but she hasn't told me I'm flat-out crazy. We've got about three years to talk about it before we can decide to make it happen or not, but, frankly, I'd do it in a minute!

One interesting thing today was meeting a couple from Baraboo, the Nelsons. Well, actually they live closer to the Dells, but Baraboo is their address. We ate supper with them and enjoyed getting acquainted. They're big rally goers, particularly with the FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association), of which we are also members. Maybe we'll actually meet them again. Next summer's FMCA Rally is in Madison, WI, and, who knows, we might be able to make that gathering!

Another interesting thing was tonight's entertainment, Three men and thirty instruments, also known as Blue Odyssey. They were fun and they were good musicians.

Tomorrow, we are off to Tennessee and the Nashville I-24 Campground in Smyrna, TN. The night here has cooled off enough to open the coach windows and let fresh air in. I doubt that'll happen in TN.

Grace and peace to any and all of you who bother to read this little record. I hope you find something of interest each day!
