EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: WA, Deer Park - 7/25/2014 to 7/27/2014

[Manzan]

Rodbuster, at least the rain will clear the air a bit. Much of Eastern Washington is desert and the green areas are thanks to water from dams on the Columbia River. After you cross the Columbia at Vantage, you go through George. Many of the farmers in that area post what crop they are growing on the fence line. Takes some of the guess work out. It takes about 5 hours to get to Deer Park from Seattle plus stops along the way. We will be leaving Seattle around 10-10:30, as soon as Carol gets back from Dr.s. We usually travel at 60 mph. See you in Deer Park!

A bunch of us are leaving Maryhill State Park along the Columbia River Gorge by The Dalles OR tomorrow morning too, so we should all be getting there about the same time. Safe travels all and we will see you soon!

WooHoo, it's finally here. Leaving Seattle in the morning. Don't know what time we'll be in....I think we are going to be traveling in the rain most of the day.

See you soon.

We camped in Joseph Or. last night and was traveling towards Spokane in our Big Country when another Big Country passed us just a waving. They probably thought we were headed for Deer Park for the rally but unfortunately we are not going to make it. We are headed back to Florida after going to Alaska....We still need to go to North Dakota, Wisconsin,Michigan,Illinois, then south....so our plate is full. I would have liked to attend but it looks like you guys have a full house. We stopped in Osburn Id. and quickly had a hail storm......Have a great rally.....

Wow, what a great rally!!! Rod and Kelly, you both put in tremendous effort to make this a spectacular event, and we've had a wonderful time!!! Thank you so much for your commitment to this group and for all your hard work. Deer Park was a good choice...very nice park, clean and neat facilities, convenient location for shopping and recreation.
We really enjoyed the K-9 demo., and we're happy that we had the opportunity to get Miss Bella washed and shined up! Thanks for making those arrangements Rod!

We are definitely planning on being at Wenatchee River County next year for the WA rally, then down to OR for the rally there. Our favorite part of these rallies is the chance to meet really great people who enjoy RVing, seeing other rigs, and swapping maintenance and repair ideas! So many creative, talented, and knowledgeable folks!

Looking forward to more fun times before we head out for home!

Thank you for your kind words Doug and Doris!! The reality is though it is not Kelly and I that make that rally fun, it's everyone involved and that attends that does that. It's a group effort! Thank you and Doris for all of your help!

This was our first rally and Julie and I are very impressed! We loved it. Rod and Kelley, you did a fantastic job and everyone made us feel so welcome. We are enthused about coming to Monitor and will be making reservations soon, but cannot imagine a rally being more fun than this one. You outdid yourselves! We learned a lot, made new friends, and enjoyed the terrific events! Many thanks! Sonja and Julie
