Back to Red Bay – Mon/Tues

Friday morning at THE RALLY, Mark and I attended a seminar on the operation and maintenance of Onan Generators. It was OK, and I learned a couple of things. While we were there, Patsy and Sue went to the Good Sam Day ‘Carnival’ at one of the large halls. When we got there, Patsy and Sue already had tattoos!!! Don’t worry Matthew and Aubrey, Grammie can wash it off!

Here are a couple of carnival pictures:

The carnival was fun, but not great, and we were ready to hit the road by 1:00PM. We packed up, and got on the road before 2:00PM. We drove until about 6:00PM when we located an OutBack Restaurant just across the Georgia/Alabama border in Alabama.

After a great steak, we hit the road again and stopped at a Walmart in Hamilton, Al for the night. We were only about 36 miles from Red Bay, so we went into the Walmart and stocked up for the next couple of days, since Red Bay is such a small town.

We got up and left about 8:30AM, and arrived at the Red Bay campground about 45 minutes later. They did not have any vacancies, so we are parked on the “runway” until a space opens up. We expect to be in a space tomorrow, and Mark and Sue will probably leave for Lake Charles tomorrow. They seem to have a good prospect to buy their house, and need to get there to complete the move-out process.

After we got parked, we went to the paint shop at Belmont, MS to get a look at the first ’09 Phaeton Motor Home that is off the line. Mark and Sue are very interested in this model, and they liked what they saw. Mark took a lot of pictures, and plans on dropping off a CD of them to the saleslady at Sherman RV on his way home, as well as sending a copy to a guy that will post them on the Tiffin RV Network on the internet.

In the evening, Patsy cooked spaghetti, and we Mark & Sue and Chuck and Lorraine over for dinner. We then congregated in Sandy and Steve’s Phaeton to look and some of the modifications that they have managed to get done so far. We then ended up visiting for a while.
