Alumafandango trip – Day 7

Today we seemed like we were always chasing the clock.  We checked the schedule last night to see what was happening.  Aqua Zumba interested Roxie but I didn’t see anything until about 11am.  This removed the pressure from me.

Roxie was up around 7am.  I heard her messing around in the kitchen but I went right back to sleep.  We were up until midnight last night so we really were pretty tired.  Shortly after Roxie came back to bed.  She told me later that she wanted to go to the Zumba but just couldn’t make it.  I TOTALLY understand!

I finally woke up and saw it was 10:20!  We only had 40 minutes to get up and get over to the seminar.  We moved pretty fast and got there on time.  It was a seminar geared toward women hitching up the trailer and towing it.  Tom from George Sutton RV was the instructor on this as he was for the maintenance session yesterday.  After the instruction inside we were led outside to try this on a Dodge pickup towing a 30′ Bunkhouse model.  Any women that wanted to hop in and tow it could do so.  There were a few ‘interesting’ moments as the route they took was around the valet parking lot.  We then went to lunch.

After lunch was a seminar where each participant was put in a group that pertained to the region where they lived.  We were to come up with some places that we liked that others would also like.  The ‘report’ will be published electronically at the end of the rally.

There was the normal evening happy hour with beef jerky and vodka samples.  I don’t know if those go together or not…  Announcements were made and the roving happy hour began.  Roxie and I went to the weekly farmers market and realized how small the town was.  There were about 8 booths there.  At lunch the owner of the cafe where we ate asked us if we were just passing through.  I asked her how she could tell.  She said the town is only 1800 and she probably knows most of them.  It was true, like yesterday at Ace Hardware, she knew the names of everyone that came in, except us.

We had a quiet evening and are retiring as I type.

I didn’t get any photos but you can see some at this page: https://www.facebook.com/alumafandango?hc_location=stream
