Lodi, California WARE rally

Our Escapees rally (WARE) at the Lodi Grape Festival Fairgrounds in Lodi, California ended today.  We had 191 rigs, about 380 people at the 4 day rally.  A nice turnout for the first Western Area Rally for Escapees.  We had 17 people from our Escapees Chapter attending.  We all had a good time.  We had 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, tour of the Woodbridge Winery in Lodi, tour of California State Capital in Sacramento and a $4.00 lunch buffet at the Jackson Rancheria Casino in Jackson, California, entertainment every night and games in the evening.  There was a lot to keep us busy.  Our Chapter did breakfast on Wednesday morning with chapter 37 from Oregon.  They did pancakes and sausage and we did scrambled eggs and orange juice....scrambled 63 dozen eggs and poured 11 gallons of orange juice.
This morning we had our trailer and 5th wheel weighed before we left.  We are doing good with our new 5th wheel, not overweight.  We are now on our way to Point Mugu Naval Air Station FamCamp for 5 days.  We will be visiting family in the Oxnard/Ventura area.  The weather has been beautiful, and looks like it will stay warm for next few days.
 A beautiful morning at Lake Pleasant when we left
