This was the last day of the rally. The sun came up bright and there was practically no breeze. A first for the rally. We had coffee and donuts and visited with several of our new friends and said our good byes. We had won a couple of gift certificates, one to a restaurant and one to an ice cream factory. We needed to use them before we left Casa Grande.
We had decided to stay another day so we paid our fee at the office and Evelyn headed to town to do the laundry. I had some work to do so I stayed and completed it and got it ready to go into the mail. Most of our group has left for other places and later this afternoon people started coming in with horse trailers, etc. We understand that there is a rabbit show this week end, however we are seeing sheep and goats come in as well, so we do not really know what is happening. We will be out of here tomorrow and head for Yuma for next weekends hamfest. We will be there probably on Thursday and look over the facility. Nick and Terry Russell will be there on Friday to look it over as well. They wanted our input on the facility for next years Gypsy Journal Rally. We will see how that works out. Have a few days before we need to be there however we have some friends we want to meet up with and catch up on things, some we have not seen since Thanksgiving and othere not since the last Handicapped Travel Club Rally. It will be interesting to see how that all works out. This has been an interesting week and rally. Met lots of very nice folks and some that we had met at the amateur radio gathering out in the desert 9 miles south of Quartzsite. As we travel around and met people, we are finding that we see them again and again in different places and tell one another of our fun times, where we had been, and where we are headed.
