No matter where we are traveling in the motor home, just prior to pulling out of Lake Havasu, the hook-up of the jeep is done about a half mile from the house, at the High School parking lot. With lots of room in a large, flat area, it's much easier to connect either the jeep or the pickup to the motor home, rather than at the house..This was the scene yesterday, as we took off for the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) www.fmca.com Western Regional Rally in Indio, CA. We detoured slightly, for a quick stop in Quartzsite, AZ, before heading west on I10. Except for some areas of above average wind, the drive was uneventful, and we arrived at the pre-designated meeting place at about 2pm. For this rally, we are attending with our newly joined Golden Spike Chapter, and there are 16 rigs who met here yesterday, in the La Quinta Wal-Mart Parking lot. Our first rally with this group was last August at the Mount Hood Scenic Railroad near Portland, OR., and we enjoyed the time with our new set of friends.
The annual FMCA Rally here at the Date Festival Grounds, is one that we have put on the calendar for the last several years, but for some reason or another, haven't attended. We'll be doing the usual rally activities like attending a few seminars, checking out all of the RV product vendors, looking at the new motor homes on display, and engaging in other activities with our Golden Spike Chapter. When this group normally gets together, there's usually a train to ride. The chapter has been attending this rally for a number of years, and even though it's not railroad related, the rally is an opportunity (or excuse) to get together during the winter months.
