Monday - June 3
Memo to God: Will you please give us the weather like we had yesterday for today?
If you’ve followed the blog you are well aware that we’ve encountered a lot of strong winds. Well, last night and today were no exception. The wind started picking up around 10:30 PM and began shaking the motorhome in spite of the fact that all four jacks are firmly on the ground. As one might expect, along with the wind came a drop in the overnight low and a reduction in the afternoon high temperature.
All day we’ve had to be careful about opening the door to the coach that the wind wouldn’t take it right out of our hands. But, that’s how life is out here and we’re reminded that the wind is as much a part of God’s creation as the sun, clouds, lilacs, and snow-capped mountains.
Speaking of those three things, the photo (below) was taken on Monday morning. This is the scene that can be seen walking from the motorhome to our car, which is parked at the rear of the coach. It isn’t something we’re used to seeing in Louisville so we’ve been enjoying it.
What is done at a motorhome rally? Well, at rallies of large clubs there are technical and educational seminars, craft sessions, times for a variety of games, social hours where we just visit and get acquainted with other club members, eat catered meals (yes, though we all have kitchens in our units, eating as a group is one of the highlights), and have free time.
This was a technical session Byron attended on several aspects of diesel engine maintenance. Martha attended a craft session which at the same time as the technical session. In the early afternoon we both attended an excellent session on photography. Later in the afternoon, while Byron attended a session on rally planning and hosting, Martha worked at her job.
Our meals for the rally are being catered by the Irma hotel. Thus far, we haven't been disappointed. Lunch, however, isn't provided; just breakfast and dinner.
Tomorrow is a free day. Our host couple is taking us to Red Lodge in Montana on out photo scavenger hunt. We may not take many pictures but we’ll probably do a lot of talking. Fortunately, we’ve developed a warm relationship with our hosts. In addition to the trip to Red Lodge we’ll go to the Bill Cody Historical Center before we get on the road. That means we’ll have more travelogue type things to report tomorrow.
We’ll sign off tonight with another image that Byron posted on Facebook. It is one of the six rows of motorhomes at this rally.
