We arrived on Wednesday, and decided due to the heat that we would prefer full hook-ups, so we are a bit further away from the group site. The site we chose is well shaded with Cottonwood trees, so we are happy. At dusk we walked down to the group site, where the early arrivals had set up chairs to watch the fireworks from across the river. We enjoyed them; or I should say I did as Dave had to take Nacho back to the trailer. He is extremely afraid of the noises and bangs and even wearing his Thunder Shirt didn't help. Having missed fireworks on the 4th, I was happy to be able to enjoy them!!
Last night, Thursday, was the first gathering of the group and it was a smaller group than last year. I believe we have only 11 trailers this year. Mandie, our dedicated Leader and organizer, made a simple supper of loose meat sandwiches and chips. With the humidity and hot weather, nothing too heavy was needed. Thanks Mandie!!! Later the group sat around visiting and catching up from last year.
Today, we are busy in the Airstream, (keeping cool) doing some work on updating this blog and paperwork and research related to house building. Dave has been sending out bids to different sub-contractors and he is now starting to get some questions and a few replies. There is going to be LOTS of work, being our own General Contractor, but Dave is up to it and his past experience makes him well qualified to manage a big project like this.
I'll get pictures of our group and activities over the next couple of days and check back in soon, since Nacho is nagging me to stay on top of it. He just wants more pictures of himself!!! :)
This is where they are confined to during set-up time!
Thanks for reading our blog! Check back soon!!!
