Here we are in Salem, Oregon experiencing our first "Monaco International Rally". When we bought our new coach we were given a one year membership in the Monaco International Club (which is basically just a bunch of people who own a Monaco Motorhome) and also the FMCA (Family Motor Coach Assn.)
Along with our friends, Doug & Roberta, we decided to attend our first "Monaco Rally", We are having a great time! The people have been very friendly, the food has been great (2 meals a day, cocktail hours, and entertainment nightly ) and we've attended a number of seminars that are helping us understand our coach and how to use and care for it. The Monaco Corporation is really great at supporting the coaches they build. Today I took a seminar about Mobile Internet with the webmaster of the Monaco website, which is where I learned about Blogger.com. It seemed like a great way to write about our travels and letting everyone decide when or if they'd like to follow along.
A side note, each rally participant receives 2 repairs from Monaco Tech's while you're here and Les requested the headlights be addressed! Thanks to a new fuse in a very obscure location, we now can travel at night as well as day! Yeah!
This is considered a "pre-rally" since it precedes the FMCA rally in Redmond, Oregon, next week. We've decided to continue on to that rally next week, which will be a lot larger than this one (there are about 350 coaches at this one) and will include all types and brands of RV's.
We had a down day on Monday, so we took a motorcycle ride to the coast. On our ride back we passed fields of round hay bales that are wrapped in white plastic. It made me laugh out loud because it looked like fields of giant Stay-Puft Marshmallows! Since I didn't have my camera this isn't my picture, but you get the idea.
Very Cool Lethea, now we can keep up with ya. Tell Les, hi for us.

Yea, how fun for you!! Be sure to take tons of pictures, it's great to see what you're up to. By the way- Kyle and I turned your house into a hip hop club / poker house and have quit our jobs to handle the profits. Hope you don't mind the stripper pole in the kitchen, and you get in free for life, woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteSpecial K ~ You made us crack up! However, when you least expect it we will be sending around some spies. We'll be looking for a cut on the take, too...
ReplyDeleteLethea....Who said Camelot was paradise?...So sorry to hear of the woo woo's of the trains, pitter pats of the rains, and cough coughs of the brains (or throat, but that didn't rhyme). Hope you are better soon!
