I think we were actually the very last to leave (just after 1:00pm on Monday) and we didn't get home until nearly 2:00pm. I guess that stop at the Liberty to fill up the tank really extended our travel time. Yeah, after driving all that way to Hatteras (three trips), it is nice to have a short drive periodically.
We had a really great time ... the weather could not possibly have been better for a weekend in the forest. Sorry to all those who couldn't get satellite (congratulations to the Grubaughs for actually succeeding at that) ... but remember I told everyone -- except Gus didn't tell his wife until they were pulling into the CG.
Thank you Gus and Debra for getting and grilling the burgers & dogs. It isn't camping without burgers & dogs. Thank you Don for bringing the projector. Thank you to the Bylinskis for giving up your privacy for two nights while everyone descended upon your site for fireside festivities. (We did the honors on Sunday night, in fact a nice couple from the bus that pulled into the site next to us also joined in.) Thank you to everyone for showing up, having a good time, being good friends, and let's not forget thank you for the tasty food!
Next time we have a "Rally in the Valley" I think we'll go to Endless Caverns. Their amenities were actually completed in time for this rally but we had to book based upon what was done at the time and the KOA won that. Everyone can get satellite there, the WiFi is stronger and faster, they allow golf carts, and their big screen is positively massive (like 15' high and 20' wide). And it's even closer to Jalisco's!
