We arrived at CERAland in Columbus, Indiana, yesterday afternoon. We had an uneventful, although rough, trip up through Nashville to Interstate 65 and then north. The roads in the Nashville area could really use some work and we bounced around a bunch. The worse roads on the trip so far were in Louisville, Kentucky. I thought the coach was going to shake to pieces while coming through there. (I was hoping to get a chance to stop to see my friends, Ron & Kay Rivoli, in Louisville on my way through. Unfortunately, they had not returned home from their latest tour with the Tea Party Express so I missed them this time out.) This picture is where we are parked in the CERAland RV Park.
Arrived at CERAland around 3:00, local time, to be greeted by some of our other club members. Four other coaches were already here when we pulled in. We are here for the Monaco America RV club's Spring Rally which is scheduled to start next Monday. This is our second rally here at CERAland, the last being in 2004. CERAland is a large recreational area, including a large RV park that is owned by the employees of the Cummins Diesel Engine Plant here in Columbus. (C=Cummins, E=Employees, R=Recreation, A=Association)
It is a beautiful facility with baseball ball diamonds, walking trails, rifle and skeet ranges, fitness center, soccer fields, a golf driving range and other amenities too numerous to mention. We'll be here through all of next week.
During the day today, Wednesday, was a maintenance day. Was not able to get any over the air TV reception last night. The front TV in the coach is an older, analog set that has to have a digital converter box. I was afraid that the box had gone bad. After checking the back TV, which is a new digital one, and finding it would not receive any channels either I knew the problem was elsewhere. Today I checked the 12 volt fuse panels and sure enough there was a blown fuse. Popped in a new fuse and all was well. Got the bugs cleaned off the front of the coach and the windshield sun shade put up. We had a couple more coaches arrive today. Ther
e should be several more coming in tomorrow. We now had six coaches here so we all got together and went to a The Pines Restaurant over in Seymore for dinner. (The Pines will be the folks that will do the catering for the rally next week.) I rode to dinner with the club President, Gary Granat, and his wife Carole. On the way back it rained a bit and then we were blessed with a beautiful rainbow. I snapped the picture while waiting for them at a quick stop at Wal-Mart.

Aren't rainbows great? I had to fiddle with the cables between the TV and the DVD player the other night...we've been moving furniture around of late. Bill's in Wales in the motorhome and I'm here in blissful solitude. Bless him, the weather's not great - one of the reasons I chose not to go.
