After 2 nights at Roaring Run and 2 nights at WalMart parking lots, we arrived at Mercer County Fairgrounds in Celina Ohio for what we termed "Gypsy School".
About 230 others joined us to learn, share and HAVE FUN. Our friends John and Wendy Dreese were our first house guests in our RV. They came to the rally and bunked on the couch for 4 nights. The rally was sponsored and conducted by Nick and Terry Russell who live full time in their RV and publish an RV newspaper called the "Gypsy Journal". We went to classes, listened to stories and met some very nice people. One of the classes I attended was "Every RVer Needs a Blog", taught by "Geeks on Tour". I had intended to journal our adventures but they made blogging so easy that I decided to take the leap. I don't know how consistent I will be in adding postings, but I'm going to give it a try.
We thought we learned all the right things to do, but when leaving the fairgrounds John committed one of the basic cardinal sins. He pulled out without putting his antenna down. It caught in a tree branch 30 feet from our parking spot, so we didn't get far and we were still able to lower it. He had to tape it to the roof to make sure it didn't fly away while traveling and until we are parked long enough to repair it.
Next stop.. Hamilton Ohio... to visit with John's sister.
