Last day at rally

Not alot happening today, to tell you the truth, it was a wind down day for us. Rog did go over to vendors and bought a few more things. Went to the Safari happy hour and watched them sell the remaining pop and booz they had in truck. Fun to watch everyone gobble up the bargins.

Dawn called me today, she didn't know we were gone. Talked to her about them getting back into their house in Palo. The whole town had water, she said only about 20 families living in town right now........almost like a gost town. For those of you that don't know..........Palo is just outside Cedar Rapids and got hit hard like CR did. I drove bus with Dawn as well as trained school bus drivers with her. She said one of the CR schools will not be opening this year and it is a mess trying to find out where all the families are that were affected by the flood. Transportation has to know this so they can get those kids on bus routes for this coming school year that starts in about a month. Makes me glad I am retired...........as it sounds like it is going to be a mess.

We are leaving tomorrow for home........there are some 3000 of us leaving so the it should be fun getting out of here. I haven't figured out a route yet, but don't think that a problem. Will be making a stop at Wally World to pick up supplies for home as well as stopping to dump holding tanks. Keota is going to be happy to get home, think he is tired of being left in motor home during the day. He needs a bath and another hair cut..........so guess that is at the top of my 'to do's.'

Speaking of 'to do's', I was showed how to modify T shirts so I am really looking forward to trying it when I get home. Can't believe how fast this summer has gone. It won't be long before we will be making plans for our trip to Texas.

Once again, safe travels and Happy Trails to all of you.
