We had dinner with Shelley and her new beau, Frankie, at a local sports bar. It was great to see Shell again and the time was just too short.One night and on the road again for another full day drive. We made it through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Ohio. We had our first truck stop evening at the Pilot and had dinner at the “Awful Waffle”.. We passed by Bone Lick State Park which was just past Beaver Lick.
May 25 – 30, 2003 Charlotte, Michigan: The Spartan Rally
One more ½ day of driving and we made it to Charlotte, Michigan. Our first rally… We arrived a day early to find rows of motorhomes already parked and a line-up at the gates. Volunteers were handling the check-in and parking and it was a nightmare getting in. We finally got settled and immediately found a yellow pages to find the local ethnic restaurants. We headed to Lansing for our Mongolian Barbeque feast. We continued our evenings of ethnic foods all week- with Korean and Ethiopian. We never could convince Gerry and Sandy to try anything spicy- so we had one evening with them at a local hearty American food restaurant – topped off with a DQ blizzard!
The rally was great- the seminars, for the most part, were very informative. In between, we visited the vendor booths and bought all the latest miracle RV products. The Travel Supreme reps were there with two models for sale. We fell in love with the floor plan on one of their 2003 models and John tortured the sales rep to put together his best deal for us. We were seriously looking at it (well, quasi-seriously) and did some research on the TS. We met a couple with a Travel Supreme Select and they invited us in for a look-see. What a spectacular motorhome- 42” plasma screen TV, desk/vanity space in the bedroom, granite countertops, marble floors. It was stunning! John tortured Gerry with the idea that we might leave the "American Coach fold".
