RV Rally in Richmond

We left home about noon this morning. The weather is cool and rainy, making for unpleasant driving conditions. On the way down, I started reading over the literature about this rally, only to discover that you’re supposed to come in on June 2^nd and 3^rd! The First-Timers meeting was on the 3^rd so we missed that, oh well…… . We arrived at the F.M.C.A. (Family Motor Coach Association) rally site, which is the Richmond Nascar Complex, have an overview of the rally shopping vendors we might patronize tomorrow.

Ed saw a Church’s Fried Chicken place within site of our coach, so we went over there and had us some gooood fried chicken. It was still in the low 60's, so we turned the generator on to get some heat.

There are about 500 rigs here. Some paid more to have sites with electric hook-up but no one had water or sewer. That means everyone was taking little dry-camping style showers to conserve water. It is surprising how little water a person can get by with, for example, you would never leave the water running while you brush your teeth. We had thought there’d be a bath house where we’d shower but there were only toilets – lots of toilets. Again, oh, well….
