Day 3 - Escapade
There were more seminars today. We learned about blogging with Google Blogger and how to manage our photos with Google's Picasa from Chris and Jim Guld, Geeks On Tour. We also learned about remote tire pressure gauges to monitor the tires on the trailer or any of our tires, up to 22, if we needed that many. The new truck comes with a tire monitoring system, so we don't need one for them.
We mentioned that we are parked in the infield of the racetrack of the fairgrounds, here in Goshen. That has made for some interesting signage that we pass as we drive around. Here is one. The Rvs in this photo are on the outside of the track.
This is a caution, look both ways for horses. Here is the area we are camped in. Notice that it is the infield of the track, therefore, we need to cross the track to get to our campsite. It has been raining and there is a puddle at the far side of the track leading to the infield. Things are beginning to get torn up by the traffic as the campers go in and out to attend activities. Of course, most of them walk or ride the shuttle golf carts, but the trucks and cars are taking their toll on the grassy area and paths between rows of RVs. You can see the clouds that are dropping all of the rain.
As we were leaving to go do the laundry, we saw the quintessential way to exercise your horses. It reminds me of those people who run their dog while riding their bikes. There are two horses here, not one with eight legs. We had to wait for them to go by before we crossed the track.
A little farther on the way out of the fairgrounds, this horse was headed to the track.
There was no entertainment this evening. The optional activities were card games, bingo and a jam session, if you played an instrument. We did not participate in any of those activities, so we went out to dinner at Ponderosa, after we finished the laundry. The Ponderosas near us, in California, have been closed so it has been awhile since we have been to one. Well, it turned out to be "Senior Wednesday", so we got our buffet for half price. What a deal!
It was raining quite a lot by the time we got back to the trailer, so we had to rush to get the dry laundry in before it got wet again.
Tomorrow, there are more seminars and the last day that the market will be open, so it is our last chance to shop till we drop for our must have RV items. Better rest up for that!
Didn't it rain almost every day the last time you went to Goshen for the RV club get together? It seemed that it rained most of the time you were there and then, when you came to the Medina area it was fine weather for the most part. I think it will be pretty much the same thing this time, based on the current forecast. The thing is, it has rained so much that even if it's sunny, its really muddy everywhere. Unless you want a mud bath, it's pretty messy getting out and doing anything that involves the grass/ground. Hope you brought your rain boots!
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, it did rain a lot that time. It was with the Montana Rally in September 2011, when we ordered our new/current trailer.
DeleteYeah, I associated that memory to when you got the new trailer. I can't believe it has already been 3 years (almost).
