Happy Halloween

Betty and I are ready to go Trick or Treating tonight at Emerald Cove RV Park, in Earp, CA. We are just across the Colorado River from Parker, AZ.
Cousin Jim has included some pictures of my new friend, Nala. Cousins Jim and Pat adopted Nala from the Lake Havasu City Shelter on Monday. She is part Collie, but we are not sure what else. Any guesses?
Hope all is well with you.
Your friend, Gus.

Tri-Chapter Rally

Tri-Chapter Rally

Here are some pictures from the Tri-Chapter Rally in Rock Springs, Wyoming.

Life on the Mississippi

On our return trip to Colorado after attending the FMCA Convention in Perry, GA, I am sitting with Betty and Billy on the bank of the Mississippi River watching the tug boats push barges up and down the river.
The weather is cool and windy, but it always is fun to marvel at the power of the tugs.

Prior to the rally in Perry, I spent some time in Unadilla, GA, at the Tri-Chapter Rally and then some time in Cordele, GA, at the 3Ts Rally after Perry.

My plan is to spend some time in Colorado and then go to Rapid City, SD, and then much of the summer in Wyoming at three or four rallies. It is so much fun at the rallies to see people I have met at previous rallies. Many of them remember my name (I do wear a name tag) and often ask about my travels. Since I help with security at the rallies, I do get to meet most of the attendees. We had over 5,000 in Perry. I even got to see some of my friends from the Alaska trip I made in 2014.

Warmest regards, Gus

August 2017-February 2018

I can't believe it has so long since I last posted on the blog. Since I was in Indiana last summer, I went to Colorado Springs to see family and relax after the rallies.  There was a quick trip to Oklahoma City for Jim's brother's 80th birthday party and lots of good times with family and friends.

From Colorado Springs, I went to Farmington, NM, for a Rocky Mt. Region Rally, Camp Verde, AZ, for a Rocky Mt. Monaco Rally, and then spent some time in Cottonwood, AZ.

Then I went to Quartzsite, AZ, to see a friend, Diesel Dave, then up to the Parker/Earp area before going to Menifee, CA. In Menifee I saw good friends Bob & Freda Cerney at Wilderness Lake Park. Then I went to Palm Springs for several weeks before attending the Western Region Rally in Indio.

From there I went to Yuma and Tucson and attened the International Area Rally at the Pima County Fairgrounds. The picture above was taken at Saguaro National Park near Tucson.

Then it was to Sierra Vista where I met my good friend Stumpy. Stumpy lives with friends Bob & Betty and Carter.

It was here in Sierra Vista that Betty and I had our picture taken at Fort Huachuca. We stayed at the Elks Lodge in Sierra Vista and met some really nice people.

Tonight I am in Deming, NM. I will be leaving in the morning as we all are heading to San Antonio for a few days before moving on to Perry, GA.

Everyone in the family is doing well and we are still having a great time on the road.

Indiana

I spent most of June and July in Indiana. I first went to the Batesville area and then to Indianapolis for the FMCA Convention. I was busy there helping cousins Jim & Pat with security.
After the convention, we went to Richmond, IN, for another rally. From Richmond, we drove to Dayton, Ohio, to visit the USAF Museum. I had been there years ago, but there is a new wing with Presidential planes which I had never seen.While in Richmond, I also went to a Model-T museum. I got to sit on this 1925 fire truck.
From Indiana, we drove back to Colorado Springs before going to Oklahoma City. We had to do some back-tracking as cousin Jim had to have cataract surgery in Colorado Springs. He claims to can see better now, so I guess I will have to watch myself.
Warmest regards, Gus

Route 66 Museum

I spent the weekend in Oklahoma City with family and friends celebrating my cousin Tom's 80th birthday. We had a great time catching up on things, eating, and on Saturday evening we all went to the Rodeo Opry.
Today, cousins Jim & Pat took me to the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK. In the top picture, I was helping the mechanic fix the old truck which was on display, and in the picture to the right, I checked out the old VW Hippie Van. In the other picture, I am wearing my new Route 66 t-shirt.
I will be heading back to Colorado Springs for a couple of weeks before going to Farmington, NM, for a rally.
Since the last post, I have been to Indianapolis, IN, for the FMCA Convention. I will try to write something about that trip soon.
Warmest regards, Gus
