Summer/Fall Trip 2012

After a wonderful weekend in Luray Va with our Old Dominion Cardinals Good Sams Chapter the "Bus" headed to Indiana.   We traveled to Cambridge Ohio on Sunday August 19th and were very surprized to have a group from West Virginia Good Sams waiting for us to have dinner with them.  Don and Kathy Wise are friends of ours and we knew they were camping there for the weekend but did not know they were staying over on Sunday night. 
Monday we traveled on to Indianapolis and arrived around 3 pm.  Ally was about to pickup kids from school so we got set up and waiting for them to come home.  We stayed in Indy until Thursday morning helping her with running the taxi to school and kindergarden as Doug was out of town.   Papa did a few little projects around the house for her as usual.
Thursday we traveled to LaFayette In to the Prophetstown State Park to meet our Discovery Club for a pre rally before coming to the FMCA convention back in Indy.
Had a wonderful time there.   Larry and Chuck T. worked on our back airconditioner and got it working again which is really great.    Had a couple of glitches on the trip but won't tell on Larry as he was upset enough with himself .   Let's just say he used the wrong nossle at the Flying J and we could have had a major problem but all is well after getting advice from other motorhome friends and a deisel machanic.   Then he  was backing the car into the parking spot by the MH and hit the front of the MH with the car.   Needless to say it has been an interesting few days.
Yesterday we caravaned with 11 coaches to Indianapolis and got all set up for the week. There are suppose to be about 1800 coaches here.    Last evening our daughter invited our friends (16 ) to come to their house for a "pitch in", we call them pot lucks, and we had a great time.   She has wanted to meet some of our MH friends .   Bill and Deb Dorris, from South Carolina (Bill and I have known each other since 2nd grade) who are not Discovery Owners are with us also.    My grandaughter Kate is in 2nd grade and her eyes got really big when I told her that Bill and I went to 2nd grade together. 
It is raining like crazy this morning but suppose to stop by noon and we will then start having more fun.    Actually I am enjoying staying in my pj;s and catching up on things.

More later in the week.
