The Rally Begins

It was a raining day in the Smokey Mountains with a storm passing through that should clear out by this evening. We took our time getting up and just chilled in the caravan until registration at 2pm. Dropped off some laundry on our way as we didn't get a washer/dryer in the caravan because of the weight and lose of space. Going to the laundry house brings back memories when Mark and I were first together and to poor to own one. Now it is by choice and you get to meet the nicest people as well. We bought a drying rack to hang on the ladder off the back of the caravan which works great. Made a little improvement with a piece of wood that helps to hold it out with more stability.





I took a class during registration to learn how to make braided tee shirts. It's a cool concept ladies that changes an ordinary shirt into something different (you know I like to be different) and it's fun to do. I will definitely be teaching it to my peeps.


A tasty catered meal was provided then it was on to information about the up coming week. Along with a show of hands to indicate full timers, future full timers, future full timers waiting on the sticks and bricks to sell(that would be us), how many years on the road, who traveled the farest, etc. It's amazing how many people want to live this life style! That's really what the whole week is about, talking to people about their journey, tricks and tips, what to expect and gathering as much information as possible. After the introductions everyone moved to different tables to mingle and meet new folks, then we played a game. Two tea bags were attached to each side of the bill on a ball cap. One had to try to flip the tea bags up on the bill of the cap, a good time was had by all.


All is good...
