Pomona, CA. FMCA Rally: The Finale!

So, here we are Thursday, last day of the rally! The weather was beautiful and plenty of snow on the mountain (from the past couple of crappy days) I have one last seminar on windshield repair (will have more to post on this at another time). But mostly packing up and heading out. Next stop, Cachuma State Park. A nice little park wedged in the mountains between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez. Not sure if it has internet, so you might not see a post for a few days!





On our last pass through the vendor area Laura let me buy 'campfire in a can'. For thoset not familar with out west, there are not a lot of places you can have a real campfire. I don't think we have had one since Georgia! We've visited with a few folks who had different portable rings, and I always thought they were pretty cool. Now I have my own!






My Rally wrap-up.

What a great experience! Even though I thought some of the seminars were lacking for information, the rest of the Rally was first class. If you're an FMCA member that's never been, definitely take advantage of these rallies. This one was the big annual convention, but they have these in different regions, and individual chapters have their own rallies as well. How can you beat free service, daily coffee and donuts, all the major manufacturers their to answer you questions, tons of vendors to sell you stuff, nightly entertainment (well, if you're over 50 ;) ) the chance to walk through nearly 1,000 new coaches and finally a chance to meet and talk with other FMCA members, from all over the country!

Special thanks to all of the FMCA volunteers that make the rally run. There were people everywhere to help you if you needed it.

I talked to a few people who run the rally 'circuit'. They have the pins to prove it. After this one, I think I'll be set for big rallies for the year. But, I would make the stop again next year, just to catch up on my service!
