Oh what a great time we have had since Thursday, May 15th when we met up with 6 other rigs on I64 and headed West . We had a a great day for traveling until we arrive at the 4-H fairgrounds in Mineral Wells West Virginia around 4:30pm when it decieded to RAIN. Now of course setting up in the rain is always fun. We all got registered at the WV Samboree and parked in the grass which was already soggy with previous rain. It rained ALL night and on Friday morning there was a fine mist which continued most of the day. We spent most of the day getting to know what was to be going on for the weekend and checked out the local attractions. On Saturday the girls and I found a Coldwater Creek clearance center and had fun spending a little money and enjoyed a nice lunch just doing "girl talk". The opening ceremonies and entertainment on Friday night was great and we were welcomed by everyone. There were four other chapters from Virginia also. Saturday afternoon Larry and some of the other guys in our group thought it would be a good idea to get the "Big Buses" got as they were predicting more rain for that evening and night. WELL, guess what 3 hours later the buses were moved. 5 of the 7 had to be pulled out. One of them had to be pulled by 3 pickup trucks that were F350 with dual wheels and 4 wheel drive. Now trust me we provided the afternoon entertainment for all who wanted to watch. Now you really can't appreciate this story without being there and knowing how most of these men "love" their buses. Most of us women know where we stand and it ain't first in line. We decided to just stand back and pray and when our bus was out of the MUD we cheered and clapped. Everyone left WV this morning heading in different directions but trust me this will be a trip none of us are likely to forgot anytime soon. We did have a wonderful time.
