Greater Eastern Area Rally (GEAR)



What a week! We're at the GEAR rally this week which is being held at the Richmond International Raceway complex. So, we're not far from home distance wise but we are a long way away in terms of environment. Our week started with volunteer work, albeit not very difficult work, greeting new arrivals for the couple of days prior to the start of scheduled activities.
Days start with doughnuts and coffee, then seminars on a variety of subjects throughout the day followed by happy hour, meals out or a pot luck with chapter friends, evening entertainment and finally sleep, much needed sleep. Interspersed between these activities is some time for viewing the latest motor homes displayed by numerous vendors and browsing the vendor booths that sell solutions to problems that I never knew I had. Some people must have these problems though since vendors seem to be selling their wares. Oh well, it's fun anyway.
