HagaFinn Midwest RV Trip - Day Eight (Gillette)

Here we are for another night in Gillette, Wyoming.  We are one of about 650 RV's here at the CamPlex south of Gillette.  If that sounds like a lot, last week they had about 2500 RV's here for the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) event.  It rained hard on them so for several reasons, we are glad that we are here now instead

Today we attended several seminars.  Pamela attended a seminar on highway history and backroad mystery (like who is really buried in Daniel Boone's tomb in Kentucky), and a session on RV cleaning with micro fibers.  She found out that microfiber should not be washed with cotton that sheds--like cotton, sheets, or towels.  You can wash it with polyester or jeans that don't shed.  Neil attended a seminar on RV electrical systems and the problems of under voltage and over voltage in a LOT of RV parks.  It turns out that RV electrical connections are kinda hit and miss.

 He also attended a fire safety seminar from "Mac the Fire Guy" and we have decided to get a dual sensor smoke detector with hush button for the RV.

It was another good day at the Rally, with great weather and good people.  We attended a First Timers reception and drank a bottle of wine between us and then had to navigate our way back to the RV on our bikes.  Since you are reading this, we made it back safely.

So who was buried in Daniel Boone's tomb in Kentucky?  His wife--Daniel is still buried in Missouri where he moved when Kentucky became too crowded.  A US Senator from Kentucky insisted on moving the bones from Missouri to Kentucky, but they only got the wife's bones--not Daniel's.

So ends another day on the road.  Thanks for visiting--let us know how you are doing.
