Dinner time again.

These are the members in our chapter that were in charge of our jobs at the 6 State Rally in Shawnee Oklahoma in September. At this time I think our chapter was getting a check for the work we did at the Shawnee Rally.

Wagonmasters and assistants are getting our boots for hosting this rally.

Having our business meeting. The manager of the Thousand Trails Park in Conroe is giving us the scoop about what's going on the parks and the changes.

This table is playing pegs and jokers.

New members trying to learn the games.

After a good dinner we start playing games. We play mexican train, pegs and jokers, fasttrack and sometimes 42 or other card games.

Having dinner.


Lined up to get some snacks.

Our rally is about to start. Some members are coming in and soon we'll be having happy hour before we have dinner.
Okay, job finished, time to go home.

Tommy is trying to fix the ruts a little.

Everybody talked about the shape the park is in and probably talking about the remote control machine and its power.
This is the housekat that came to the rescue. It didn't take but a few minutes to get us out. The boys were out working a few miles from the park. These boys used to work for us when we had our mobile home business.

After having Christmas at home and the kids all gone to their homes, we went on to the Thousand Trails park to get ready for the January Rally at Conroe. We are going to be the Wagonmasters for this rally so we thought we'd go in early to get us a good space and get all situated. When we got to the park, it was pretty full. We found us a 50amp service but because it had been raining and it started raining when we got in, we got stuck. So we go and find some people that we knew that had a housekat, which is a machine that we used to put in mobile homes with. We are parked in the background after we got pulled up. These are the ruts that were made while we were stuck.
