Our Location today is Marion, North Carolina, USA.
We both slept so soundly last night that we were wide awake
by 7:30 this morning. On one hand we were not in a rush to go anywhere today
but on the other hand we didn’t want to miss the closing ceremonies of the RV
Dreams Reunion Rally.
We made our way over to the pavilion where again this
morning we were served another full breakfast. After a few brief announcements
from Howard and Linda who both got a little emotional because they had not
expected the outpouring of Love and Appreciation they were shown for putting on
this Reunion. There was mention that it looks like they’ll be making plans for
another reunion somewhere down the road.
Everyone at the breakfast immediately started working
together one last time storing the tables and chairs cleaning the floors and
making certain the trash was collected. Within ten minutes everything was
completed and then there were a lot of hugs and handshakes going around before
many of the participants prepared to pull out today.
Kathy and I like many others had made plans to stay an extra
day in order to avoid the weekend traffic. We sat outside and waved farewell to
the nearly forty rigs that pulled out heading for their next destination.

Once the traffic had slowed quite a bit we chose to go for a
bicycle ride to try to limber ourselves up. Since the Tom Johnson RV Dealership
is attached to the edge of the campground we went over to the Parts Sales looking
for a copy of the Next Exit. Unfortunately they didn’t have any but they were
having an Open House so we took the time to look around a number of A and C
class units. We only saw one unit that enticed us but it will have to wait for
when we choose to downsize from our existing RV.
It was nearly 1:00 by the time we returned to the trailer to
have lunch. Afterwards while I worked outside to close things up Kathy vacuumed
the inside. I also installed our new outdoor weather gauge and it kept showing
the temperature above the 90 degree mark. A few of the other remaining Reunion
attendees stopped over to talk as well but when the skies darkened and the
distant thunder grew more intense everyone headed indoors. I was a little damp
before making it inside our trailer.
The rain stopped just before 5:30 so Kathy and I went to
Taco Bell for supper in hopes that what was still outside would dry off before
we returned. The temp had dropped to the low 80s by the time we got back and
everything was dry. I just managed to finish packing up everything outside for
tomorrow’s travels.
As I sat down to write this post the rain really started
coming down which sent lots of people scrambling for cover. For a while the
stone roadways were beginning to look like small streams and the temperature is
just above the 60 degree mark. At least we had gorgeous weather for the Reunion
Rally. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and
Enjoy!
It’s about time.
