26 May 2023 - Slide Skis and Friends!

 

A Maker's Mark Chicago Cubs commemorative bottle gift for father's Day! 

More Alliance friends continued to roll into the campground today.  We now occupy the majority of the campsites here I believe. In the next few days there will be a mass exodus from here as everyone will be moving to the Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds Campground in Goshen for the Alliance Rally.  

 Throughout the day today we saw many old friends including Joe and Kerry Thornell (SD) and met many new ones.  We spent some time on two other coaches helping others replacing their plastic slide-out skis with stainless steel ones.  We also fixed a leaking sink drain on our own coach.

This evening we had an impromptu bourbon tasting as friends brought over their favorite bourbons for everyone to taste.  We continue to learn more and more about the various bourbon brands and how the taste varies so much between them.

Tomorrow at noon those on set-up crews move to the Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds Campground in Goshen, so next report from there.
