There is so much to see in this great country of ours, that it is hard for us to veto a rally because of its location. For working folks it may be. We started out from Wisconsin with the intent of ending up in Shawnee. We are getting there by way of Southern California. Our plan is NO PLAN. We may stay at a campsite for several days...up to a week (or longer if at a relative's home). Then we look at a map and find a place within 300 mi or so and go there. See the sights, relax and look at the map again for our next stop. Have seen great things. Saw the Reagan Library in Simi Valley CA. last week. Then saw the Pacific Ocean at Malibu...walked the beach for a day. I spent a couple of hours at the FiTech factory talking with their techs. My point is that if you have to travel far to a rally, make the rally just another egg in the basket of life. Traveling long distances in the MH is not as expensive as one would think. We have found that, when on the road, our monthly expenses are cut roughly by 1/3 to 1/2. Why?? You don't buy extras on the road because there is no place to store them and you'd have to carry them with you for the next 3 months. Because you are away from home, you are not spending money on that home remodel project or other such things. Cost of utilities drops way down. etc. etc. you get my drift? It is actually cheaper to be on the road than to stay home. In addition, that coach is better off on the road than sitting idle in storage. Things deteriorate. Drums and rotors rust. Rust forms on cylinder walls of cylinders with a valve open. Short runs form corrosive fluids in your crankcase reducing life of the engine. Seals harden making them leak. Mice get in and eat your wiring....get my drift? So we don't let the distance to the next rally deter us from attending.

We have this great country that is just begging you to visit it, and it is so much fun to do it in a GMC. JMHO See you all at Shawnee.
