This mini-rally north of Salem, Oregon was
arranged by Ed & Jeanette Block for a more intimate setting for fun before
caravanning to the FMCA NW rally in Albany. All coaches had power at the
fine RV camp loop – even a hall & restrooms. New members, Jo & Roy
Barker, from N. Calif., joined in the fun Tuesday, playing “Blongoball”
with Jeanette & Phyllis and enjoying a fine outdoor potluck dinner with
all – in comfortable, fairly bug-free weather.
A brief meeting attended by eight couples
gave everyone an opportunity to learn the prize booth procedure from
committee chairs, Gene & Carole Nemish, and to sign up for a shift or two
– also to be prepared for the 9-coach caravan to the fairgrounds.
By 1 pm Wednesday, seven coaches left the
lovely park, with spouses driving tows & parking credentials in windows.
It was a few miles to the freeway and then easy-going 40 miles to the I-5
rest stop at Santiam River, where two remaining coaches joined our
caravan. We arrived at the fairgrounds by 2 pm.
