Lake Skinner

November is a nice time of year to be outdoors.Wake up to sunny mornings but the air is still cool. It was a good idea whoever suggested building a campfire during morning coffee. The days warm up and the jackets come off. But, as the sun goes down, the coolness returns and out come the jackets again. AC during the day and heat at night. Nestled in the rolling hills, outside of Temecula, Lake Skinner Recreation Area is as relaxing or as busy as you want it to be.

Twelve rigs pulled in on Monday and of course gathered for Happy Hour to catch up with everyone. It was the second day of the time change so it seemed strange for it to be dark around 5pm.

Tuesday was a day of visiting the local wineries, shopping, hiking, biking or relaxing with a good book. The Pot Luck was early so we could see what we were eating, remember early darkness. The group welcomed Larry and Sandy to their very first rally and maiden voyage in their rig. We all have those stories about our trials and tribulations of learning how to manage our rigs. Larry and Sandy shared the fiasco of their first night, that started with arriving after dark to the locked entrance gate. Sit down with them at a meeting or rally to hear their adventure and offer your tips. 😃

A trip near Temecula always brings Richie's Diner to mind so off to lunch went a hungry group.

On Thursday a small group cruised the serene lake on a pontoon boat.

Victor caught a few Zzzzzzzs    ↗↗↗

There were a few mornings that several ladies enjoyed playing cards in the morning sun 😎

The evening campfires started early due to the coolness of night. The group enjoyed laughs and camaraderie. One night, thanks to Nadine, we even has smores ! Brought back memories !

Many thanks to Nadine and Jack Curry for hosting their first rally. Talk to them and they will tell you how easy it was. The Chapter needs YOUR ideas for rallies in 2019 and of course, the members to host them. IS IT YOUR TURN ??
