Ready to Rally!

Friday, March 27th, 2015

Yesterday, I traveled from home out to Lake Leon to join Tony for our trip to Santo, Tx, and Coffee Creek RV Park for the Heartland Owners Club North Texas Chapter Rally.

Tony took the day off, so we work up, ate and started getting ready for the trip. Since Mammoth hadn't moved since July, there was quite a bit to figure out "where to put it for travel?"

It took us about 3 hours to prep to leave, where before would have taken about an hour. We pulled out about 11:30.  

Once down I-20 a bit, we pulled into a rest area to check tires and such, then decided to make sandwiches and eat lunch. Our plan was to go past Santo to Wetherford to get a wash at the Blue Beacon. 

Well, upon our arrival at the Blue Beacon, we discovered a really long wait!  There were at least 8 rigs in front of us waiting, so we decided to skip it and head on to Santo.

We arrived and got set up, then walked around the park and visited with friends and met new ones. About 5:30 we decided to go get some food, and decided on Dairy Queen, not to far from the park. Upon arrival we saw some other Heartland friends, and they asked us to join them. We had a nice time visiting with Pam, Dan, Walter and his wife.

After we returned to the park, at 7pm was the meet and greet. We ate ice cream and heard about eat of the attendees, where they were from, etc. it was nice to see new faces along with some old friends. We had a nice time visiting.

After that, some folks decided to play dominoes, but we were pretty tired so we headed home. It had been a long busy day!
