2013 - April 27 Breakfast and a Rainy Day at the Rally

Breakfast was at 8:30, so about 7:15, we headed for the pavilion in the rain. We plugged in two electric skillets and a crock pot and started breaking eggs. I had just finished scrambling the four dozen eggs we bought yesterday, when Mark showed up with a box of sausage patties, so he took over the cooking chores.

It was 8:34 and still raining when we started eating. In addition to the eggs and sausage, there was oatmeal, fresh fruit, coffee cake, breakfast casserole, grits, donuts and more. I think everyone ate their fill.

After breakfast we sat around and visited for a while before going back to camp and washing our skillet and dishes. Even though it was still raining, we decided to check out the Nature Center and Cane Creek Falls & Cascade. After that, we drove over to the Inn to check email. Nothing exciting, so it was back to camp.

By the time we got back, most of the Aliners had left even though they had planned to stay until tomorrow. It's supposed to rain all weekend and most of them only live two or three hours away, so they headed out. Since Marsha and I have a 500 mile drive to get home, we would probably have to stop somewhere tonight if we left so late in the day. That would mean we'd have to set up and tear down again, so even though it doesn't take long to set up and tear down, we decided to stay the night, get an early start in the morning and do the 500 miles all in one shot.

About 6:30, the rain paused for a few minutes, so we took down the canopy. Tomorrow will be solid driving, so I probably won't take any pictures unless something exciting happens. Let's hope this is my last post for this trip!
