Kerrville--2011--Day 1

Rain and wind but we made it down south.

We rolled out a little before 8:00am this morning heading south to Kerrville, Texas. We have our Monaco America Spring Rally starting next Monday. We like to go to these rallies early to help set up and get organized. Most of the club officer's arrive early.

While driving we were going into a pretty good headwind. Just south of Wichita Falls, Texas, it started to rain. This is the front that the Oklahoma City television weather guessers have been predicting that was coming up from Texas. The farther south we drove the harder it rained. Just south of Mineral Wells we decided to pull off until the storm lessened up. With the heavy rain and the head on wind it was getting hard to see the roadway. After about 15 minutes the worst was passed us and we continued on. About another 100 miles and the rain quit. We arrived at the RV park in Kerrville about 5:30pm. There were about a half dozen coaches already here but those folks had all gone out to eat. After getting the coach hooked up we went down the street to Wendy's for something to eat and then just crashed for the evening.

This is shaping up to be a good rally. We are expecting a total of 53 coaches. We have several vendors scheduled to join us. These are the folks who bring all those things that all RVer's need to personalize their coaches. One group, from Florida, washes and waxes coaches for a fee. Another, which I definitely plan to use, does the oil & filter change and lube job on our diesel coaches. We need to have that done every year or 15,000 miles. I usually have mine done once a year and it is a little past due.
