2014 April 24 - Aliner Rally at Camp Whitebreast - Coal Ridge, Lake Red Rock, Pella, IA

The rally actually started on Friday, but several of us arrived on Thursday so that we could set up camp in the rain! This rally was put on by the Upper Midwest Region, but Marsha and I often crash their parties since they're our neighboring region to the west.

Fifteen campers arrived and we met some new folks. There were at least two couple who were attending their first rally. These people are known as rally virgins.

Anyway, we pretty much sat around and shot the breeze. Marsha and I went exploring and ended up in the town of Pella, the home of Pella Windows. The weather was really nice on Friday and Saturday, but Saturday night saw clouds moving in thunder started around 10:00.

Sunday morning at 8:00 it was 44 degrees and raining, but we ate breakfast at the pavilion anyway. By 9:30 the temperature had risen into the 50s and the sun came out, so we were able to break camp in fairly comfortable conditions.

We'll be home for a week, then we head for Clifty Falls State Park in Madison, Indiana for three days, then we'll spend a few days at Brown County State Park before heading toward home.

See you there!
