Houston We Have Landed

Monday Rally Time

One small step for Speedy...Not Quite! We had some road to cover before we got to the landing zone. I want to thank the state of Oklahoma for almost destroying my 5th wheel! I know that the Indians there are getting back at the white men for all our bad deeds over the course of time. They built Casinos to take all our money and the roads to wreak our covered wagons. Took them over 100 years but they figured out how to get us back.

We left Salisaw about 9:00 am Monday morning and headed out Interstate 40 to I 540 north to 412 east. Now 540 is a beautiful highway...pretty good grades to climb but scenic for sure. Now 412 that is another story. Not a bad road base but winding does not describe this road well enough. You can never get over 45 miles an hour and my exhaust break was on constantly! We did not think that we would ever see the end of this road. But at last we did and the rest of the trip to Branson and the ABC campground was uneventful.

Upon arriving we headed into the office to check in. We were two days early for the rally so we had to pay for the two additional nights and got our camp site...I really don't know how this happened but we got camp site number 69.....OK maybe an act of fate??? ORRRRR did someone have a hand in this??? Not that I am suggesting anything and to some the numbere 69 might not mean much.... but it could be that I was set up here. OK I know I am making something from nothing...OR....

We have a nice site... not to far from the tent. They have a large tent set up here for all the Dreamers to gather under. I will say that Howard and Linda have done an outstanding job in making this a great rally for all us Dreamers....Thanks Howard and Linda

After getting set up we proceeded over to the tent to meet all those great folks we have been so fortunate to have met on the Dreamers Web Site. Howard and Linda met us as soon as we got there and made us feel soo welcome...Howard did say that I was not as good looking as my picture on the Forum...but then I really felt at home!! Thanks Howard

We had a ball the first day. It did rain all day but it did not dampen the spirits of all the folks that showed up at the tent. We met so many new friends and I can't describe the feeling you get when you meet these people that you have been conversing with and the ones that you have been reading for a year! I think the ones of you that were there at that time know what I mean.

That just about does it for Monday. I am looking forward to Tuesday...I get to meet more people Somewhere in Time.
