Eight rigs gathered at Lake Skinner for a rally hosted by Jim and Diane Nelson, under warm sunny skies and cool nights.
Monday, after everyone set up, we had Happy Hour while we watched the sky over the lake painted with different shades of orange. Then, we cozied around the warm campfire.
Morning coffee and snacks were shared around the Nelson's rig. Then, a group of guys went golfing while the rest enjoyed walks around the beautiful park or just relaxed in the sun.
On Wednesday, Diane and Jim presented a blind wine tasting. Four different reds and four different whites were sampled by the group.
There was a rating system.
1=I like it. Would purchase it
2=pretty good. Might purchase it
3=fair. Probably would not purchase it
4=no way. Would not purchase it.
The wine with the highest score (least desired) turned out to be the highest cost wine of the lot. The wine with lowest score (most liked) was actually non alcoholic Martinelli sparkling cider. The conclusion was this group knows little about wine but had a a lot fun sampling them.
Wine tasting was followed by a good ol Shanty Shaker pot luck that was enjoyed by everyone.
A few rigs had to head home on Thursday. The remaining members enjoyed playing corn hole, bike riding or just relaxing. Speaking of corn hole, a discussion was held as to how the game of bean bags became known as corn hole and is now an organized sport worthy of being watched on ESPN ??
A rally wouldn’t be complete without going out to eat at least once. Don’t want to lose the reputation of being called LEOs.
Thanks to Diane and Jim Nelson for hosting the rally. If you have not yet hosted a rally, it's time to step up and take a turn. Ask a previous host to partner with you and help you with the planning. The club functions with volunteers and EVERYONE needs to take a turn.
