As promised a few posts ago<\/a>, here we are at the Good Sam Rally. One-and-a-half of the reasons for being here were negated by circumstances: the on-road driving course wasn’t available during our time frame, and Katharine McPhee got replaced with Kenny Rogers. (I guess giving Kenny Rogers 1\/2-credit for Katharine McPhee is about right.) And I got chained to the laptop working for a large part of Friday. But still, we continue to learn more and more about our latest version of the RV experience. I took seminars on satellite TV and traveling Alaska; Wendy took seminars on RV cooking, cleaning, and such. I managed to buy more stuff. (I’m learning that one of the great things about a motorhome is that you can never have enough gadgets–suits me just fine.)<\/p>\n

ACE parked among the crowd (proudly flying US and Army flags):

One of the neat things was seeing the displays of classic RVs (and their classic tow vehicles):

Remember my post about how weird it is for ex-backpacking-hippies to be traveling around in a motorhome? This ain’t backpacking:

Kenny Rogers on Friday night:

Reba on Saturday night:

Still, this may be it for mega-rallies: we seem to have exhausted the seminar offerings, and when we have a weekend to get away, somehow this isn’t our idea of the perfect atmosphere:

I might still like to try smaller, focused rallies of various types. Further musings on that option to follow.<\/p>\n

Next trip? December will be the Army-Navy game, so nothing then. We’ve scheduled a trip to the Topsail Hill State Park<\/a> in January, traveling with my good friend and his wife. We are definitely going to Fort Wilderness<\/a> in February. Woo hoo! After that, nothing planned…<\/p>\n

Statistics for the trip<\/span>:
\nTotal cost of the trip: $756.25 (includes $429 rally fee)
\nTotal distance traveled: 903 miles
\nAverage mileage: 8.95 mpg
\nRange of mileage: 8.5 to 11.5 mpg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
