Summer 2012 Part 2

In August our Rally was held at the Port Townsend Elk Lodge RV Park.  We always enjoy having our rallies here especially being able to have meals at the Lodge.  The best is always their Fish & Chips  This year besides the Fish dinner they had Make your own Taco Night that we all enjoyed.  We also went on a tour of one of the Victorian Homes in Port Townsend.  It was a fun week.

 The kitchen has no running water.  The only room updated was the bathroom with running water.  

 There are lots of deer roaming around Port Townsend.  This one is watching us from the Apple orchard.

On Labor Day Weekend the Wenatchee Youth Circus came to the Mt Vernon Thousand Trails Park.  The Wenatchee Youth Circus, known as the "Biggest  Little Circus in the World" is considered one of the four top nonprofessional troupes in the nation. The show includes all the regular circus acts with the exception of wild animals. This year's troupe had 50 members and the ages ranged from 3 to 18 years old. The Wenatchee Youth Circus was celebrating it's 60th season.  It is still led by Founder & Managing Director, (aka Guppo the Clown) Paul K. Pugh.  It was a wonderful show and very talented kids.

Our last 2012 Rally was held in September at Friends Landing at Montesano, WA.  It is located along the Chehalis River with a 32 acre man made lake.  There is a 1.7 mile paved trail around the lake.  There are several piers and floating decks into the lake and boat launches, floating decks and fish shacks along the river.  There is sturgeon fishing year round and when the salmon are running it is great salmon fishing.  The only complaint was we didn't have an enclosed room for our activities.  It was cool and foggy in the mornings and evenings, but we had a good time.  We had blueberry pancakes one morning, bbq'd our own meats one night and cooked biscuits on a stick over open fire.  We were to wear silly hats at Happy hour and on Thurs prizes were given out to the best hats.  We have some very creative people in our group.
