Friday June 14. Yesterday we awoke to rain once again, it
was a light to medium rain but we ran in it the entire 45 mile trip up to Syracuse. We met our
friends as planned and traveled to the rally site together. One lone policeman
stood outside the entrance and redirected everyone to a nearby shopping mall. They’re
not letting anyone else in the fairgrounds as it was all underwater, he said.
Late in the afternoon we were informed that we would be
parked here for the duration of the Rally and Shuttled to the fairgrounds in
buses. Camping on an asphalt parking lot is not the friendly RV camping
atmosphere we were looking forward to, but we’re making the best of it. Heck
it’s far more likely we’ll be buying new shoes at the mall than a new RV at the
Rally anyhow!
We registered at the fairgrounds on Friday morning and looked
at a few of the many new RV’s on display outside then walked all through the vendor building
finally finding the salesman who had my ceiling fan part. The distributor very
kindly had shipped the part to the show for me. I also made arrangements to
have my auxiliary towing braking unit serviced tomorrow.
In the afternoon our friends Clay and Rebecca along with
1400 other couples renewed their wedding vows in an attempt to set a Guinness
World Record. As the ink is hardly dry on Millie and my wedding license we
stayed back at the motorhome and took a nap. Really, we took a nap!
We finished off the day at a concert by the one time
headliner from Las Vegas,
Wayne Newton. He still puts on a good show but to be brutally honest, his singing voice
is not what it once was, and at times it was painful to watch.
