It is a dark and stormy night in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. However, the day started off sunny and quickly became almost hot!
This morning we officially registered for the SKPACRE rally, and received our pins, badges, t-shirts, goodie bag with tourist literature and some small freebies, and our entry slip for all of the prizes to be given away. Early this afternoon we attended the First-Timers meeting since this is the first time we've been to an Escapees Rally. There are about 160 rigs here, and probably at least one-third are first-timers. All of our group activities are in the large Pavillion. At 4 P.M., there was Happy Hour with door prize giveaways (no wins for us), followed by a catered supper consisting of 1/2 smoked chicken, garden salad, roll and seasoned mash potatoes topped off by mixed-berry cobbler......very tasty and filling. The rain moved in before dinner was served, and shortly after we returned to the RV, thunderstorms arrived in earnest. The rain is really a blessing as the entire southeast is suffering from drought, and rain is forecast for most of the next 36 hours with much cooler temperatures. Tonight we are snug and dry in our Little House on the Road..
