ChuckWagon Rally - South Sioux City, NE

KT here, subbing for Nacho; he's too busy causing trouble to dictate this to Mom.   We packed up the Airstream (AS) on Wednesday night and were on the road by 10:30 Thursday morning for the 4 hour drive to S. Sioux City, NE to stay at the Scenic Park campground.  The cg was right on the Missouri river, though the view wasn't as pretty as it is in other parts of the country.  Mom likes the view in Montana.  :)

There were quite a few other AS at the park, 3 - 34' AS, ours, a 28' and then some other brands.  There was a little Winnebago fifth wheel from the early 60's, Mom can't remember the year.  A Scotty, and a couple Foresters. She thinks they were all from the 60's.  Also a new Teardrop! Cute but too small!  We need room to move around!

Potlucks each night with great food!  Our hosts Sue, Mandie and Cynthia along with brother Pierce, who did the meat grilling, put on an excellent evenings of food, entertainment and fun!  Thanks to all of you!!!  Each evening featured different entertainment; Thursday was bowling, which Mom and Dad won!!! Unbelievable as they aren't known for being good bowlers!  We got medals to hang and traveling trophies.  It was great fun!  Friday was the baked bean contest and Mom beat out 7 other recipes to take home the 1st place.  She likes her recipe, but was still surprised! Wow, two nights of victory!! Winning 1st place in the bean contest won them front row seating with popcorn, snow cones and candy at the movie.  Dad even picked it out earlier in the planning stages, "John Wayne, in Roster Cogburn". Saturday evening was another potluck with cow turd toss and the cowboy hat contest.   Super hot, but loads of fun!!!

 Scott and Kathy went all out and even had a hat for their pup and stick horses to ride!  :)

Here's the whole gang for the cowboy hat competition.

During the day, Nacho and I had to stay in the trailer, though we didn't really complain because it was way too hot for our delicate little bodies.   Mom didn't want us to get heat stroke!!   We got to attend the fun activities in the evening after dinner, because we didn't want to be tempted by all the people food. 
One day Mom and Dad went into Sioux City with Kathy and Scott to see some local sights.  Another day, they went by themselves to try the Milwaukee Wiener Co. and see the Classic cars. 

Another great camping weekend!  KT here signing off for Nacho.  We still LOVE our 74!  We got nice compliments during the trailer open house on Saturday afternoon.  I'll post more pictures of them tomorrow.  It's late and we got to go to bed because Mom and Dad have to work in the morning!  Bummer!!!
