RV Rally Redmond Oregon Aug10-14 suep

Aug 1-14 we went to a RV rally in Oregon. We being newbies had no idea what to expect. We arrived the first day and we sent to lot 5 street 4. We were only one of 2000 RVs. The red arrow is us. Pretty overwhelming. The RV's are in 12 lots, circled around the action. The meetings, classes, venders, new RV's to preview, 2 entertainment stages,food, ice cream socials etc. We had bus service to and from  and trash pick up, emergency medical clinics, addresses etc.

We attended meetings, seminars, met new friends, went to entertainment. I took basic classes in RVing, Mexico/Copper Canyon trips,learned how to use the microwave/convection oven and the compact combo washer/dryer on the bus, memory enhancement, how to set up a blog among others. John went to classes dealing with the workings of the bus, solar panels, generators, the instrument panel in the cockpit, the engine and I don't even know what else. We bought books, new equipment we learned about in the classes(I had never seen the silicon cookware used in ovens, microwaves etc). There were concerts every night. We went to the Jimmy Buffet tribute band. People danced, threw beach balls, and even a conga line went thru the crowd. And we listened to the music. We are some of the younger people here, but everyone is pretty tuned in to life and very active. The last night we went to a Motown band that was great. Not conga lines tho.The setting was beautiful, Mt's in the background. And a few other sites. . .We toured some of the newer, expensive coaches. Ours is pretty moderate compared to them.We had a great time, but it was really exhausting.
