A SEMINAR DAY

Our motor home in front of Nancy's 5th wheel at the Yuma Fairgrounds

A good part of our day yesterday, at the Gypsy Journal RV Rally here in Yuma, was spent at seminars related to the RV lifestyle. While I listened to Nick Russell talk about the Gypsy Journal, Patty and Nancy attended a "For Women Only" round table discussion. I thought about crashing the seminar, demanding equal rights, and claiming blatent discrimination against men, but the rational side of me prevailed, and I stayed away.

At the second seminar, the three of us listened to Nick moderate an open forum entitled "why didn't I think of that". With over 20 years of RV'ing under our belts, you would think we were pretty educated on just about everything related to the RV lifestyle. When ever we attend one of these rallies, there's usually some type of forum where folks share some of their ideas, and tips on things that you won't find written in any book. We usually hear about something where we say, "why didn't I think of that".

Patty, Nancy, and Betty from our Golden Spike Chapter share some thoughts.

After the lunch break, Patty & Nancy did a T-shirt tying seminar, and later, they intended to sit in on a Geocaching seminar, conducted by our friend, and fellow Golden Spiker, Barbara Westerfield, but they got tied up with the Satellite Company that Nancy was doing business with. I sat in on a transporting firearms in your RV seminar, instructed by an active San Diego PD motor officer. I have a pretty good handle on laws relating to firearms, especially in CA, but it's always educational, and sometimes entertaining when you sit in on one of these classes.

Later that evening, we briefly sat for the entertainment, some music by a duo called Easy Money. We listened to a few songs, and they were OK, but nothing like David Bradley, the singer from last year, who captivated the audience with his singing and his stories. He was supposed to be here again this year, but had to cancel at the 11th hour.

This morning, Nancy gets her Winegard Satellite Antenna installed, and with any luck, she'll be up and running with high definition TV later today. Patty and I will probably attend 1 or 2 more seminars, and the three of us will most certainly check out this evenings entertainment -
The Cactus Queen Beauty Contest.
