We left Bakersfield RV Park about 10:15 am and had about a five hour drive to Betabel RV park where we are meeting our SIRS 15 RV group. It was a 220 mile trip and I was able to get about 67 miles in driving. Not as many as I would like but will get some more miles in driving home. When we arrived George, Bev, Ed, Dorothy, Pat, Jane, Steve and Sue were already set up. I got to see all my adoptee pooches, Max, Jake and the new addition to Pat and Jane, Jeannie the rescue they just got not long ago. I miss my travel pooches. Now Beau, my dog is home, he is just too big to travel and he has more fun staying with the "other Maureen" along with his girlfriend Maggie. He also is quite spoiled staying with them. We got set up in time to go the flea market next door to the rv park. We had to pay to get in and to say it is NOT the caliber of the Street Faire aka flee market in Palm Desert is an understatement... Ed, however managed to find a few items to buy, tools of course and not sure I am ready to reveal what else at this time...
Over the rest of the afternoon the our group started to arrive, Ed, Carol, Adele, John, Rosie, Mike, and our new members Ron, Evelyn, and Hedy and Duane. Jeff and Gail will be joining us tomorrow. I think there is one more couple missing Ted and Juanita.. We met for Happy Hour and Hors d'oeuvres about 5:30... By the way, I generally use the term snacks as most of you know from all our trips I can't spell the "proper" word but Beverly so kindly had Hors d'oeuvres spelled out on the sign up sheet!!! We talked about the agenda for the week, just had a chance to visit with friends we have not seen for a while. This is an amazing group and many good times.
The couple that put this trip together, Gary and Marilyn, we so miss you. They were unable to make the trip because Gary had some health issues to take care of. I think about 7:00 pm tonight, someone yelled out "Where is the Spaghetti"??? Gary, we wish a speedy recovery and thank you for getting this trip planned. Marilyn, hang in there playing nurse!! Miss you lots!!
OK, so Butch and Betty were taking over the trip along with George and Bev. Unfortunately they had to drop out due to some very important business. So happy for you in that regard but sure do miss you being here with us. Good luck and see you soon...
George, our fearless leader and Beverly have taken over the duties and thank you both for jumping in. We all will wing it this week and as always have a great time...
More tomorrow as we start our adventure...... Until Next Time....
