On April 17, we moved from the Moose Lodge in north Raleigh to the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in west Raleigh. The Raleigh hamfest was to be held there on Saturday, April 20 and we needed to be close to help with the preparations and the big event. The hamfest was a great success and we saw many of our old friends from our time living nearby.
Sunday, April 18 - We left Raleigh and drove two hours west to the Cross Winds Family Campground in Linwood, NC for a week's stay. We hosted a rally for the RV Radio Network club April 24-27. There were only 6 other attendees, but we had great time being together for breakfasts, happy hours, dinner, club meetings and prize drawings. The campground let us use their activity building for 3 days.
On the 27th, we had a day devoted to ham radio with a special event station outside. This encouraged others walking by to stop and see what was going on, and we had a few visitors from the surrounding area.
Sunday, April 28 was a long travel day for us as we drove about 430 miles north to the Marysville, Ohio Walmart where we parked for the night. Monday, April 29, we completed our journey to the Elkhart County Fairgrounds in Goshen, IN.
We are helping with several programs for the 2019 Maintenance Session - a rally devoted to learning about, and caring for, a diesal pusher motorhome. This is our 4th year to attend this event. We made it to Goshen and got set up just before the heavy rain of the day arrived. This area has been very wet over the last week, and the forecast is for more rain to fall this week with cool temperatures.. Thank goodness almost all activities take place inside one of the many buildings on the property. We'll be here until May 9th when we'll hit the road to Michigan for our summer adventures.
