The Rally Begins -- Monday

The rally offically began on Monday with an opening meeting. Mark and I had volunteered to work on the parking committee in a discussion with a coordinator on Sunday night. He told us to show up at 8:00am at the main building. We got there at 7:45am, and they had made all the assignments.......... so we weren't needed. He even told us we were 'late'. We felt like we had been fired on our first volunteer job!!!

The rally has a good turnout. There ar 249 rigs here, compared with 185 last year. Here are some pictures of the opening meeting (the first picture is our group of Patsy, Mark, Sue, Mandy and Greg):


Here's the overall view:

In the evening, our group convened in Mark and Sue's trailer, and we had Jambalaya. After dinner, we went to the nightly door prize meeting, and I won a free meal at Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill.

Tomorrow, the rally seminars will begin.
