The rally at Leisure Time Campground was a howling good time with 19 rigs and 34 women in attendance. Two attendees even came without their rig and stayed in a local hotel, just to join in the fun.
The weather was a little warm on Friday but cooled down to the mid-80’s on Saturday. Luckily the campground had lots of shade and a pool.
On Thursday night, the early bird campers went to a local restaurant called Brunos.
On Friday, a group played golf (scores are classified information), while another group biked along the Wabash River. Others relaxed and visited at the campground. Linda Elliott conducted a wonderful outdoor cooking demonstration. We thoroughly enjoyed the homemade ice cream, cookies, tamale pie, and chocolate/cherry cobbler. We followed her demonstration with a Friday night pitch-in happy hour and dinner. After dinner the Skunks played the Polecats to a tie in Family Feud.
On Saturday morning the RVers had the opportunity to ask Pat Setser, RV Technician, general maintenance questions. Later about 20 of us went on a guided tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright house, Samara, in Lafayette. Saturday evening we had dinner at a local catfish place called Americus Restaurant, which was within walking distance of the campground. This was followed by an evening of ‘howling with the wolves’ at Wolf Park.
Sunday morning we had a Hitch-up breakfast, followed by a discussion of Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, “Eat, Pray and Love”, led by Ruth Russell. Campers bid each other farewell until next gathering and almost everyone was on their way home before noon.
We would like to thank everyone for helping make the rally successful. A successful rally requires that people participate and step up to get things done. The mantra for this group was “How can I help?” We enjoyed hosting the rally.
