The days were clear and warm, not hot and usually a nice breeze to keep attendees refreshed. There was always the cool of the mountains of the Cascades to view from nearly every angle at the rally. These units to the right are on display. The personal units had much more space.

One activity I noticed immediately were the many RV, tow vehicle and accessory manufacturers present to repair or install their products. You could, for example, order a new set of tires and/or batteries then have them installed on your RV at it's rally location. Or you could schedule a repair on your Monacco Motor Home from the Monacco service team attending in force at the rally.

The rally entrance, above, is where everyone must enter the first time. After you have your "credentials" there were many entrance points.

Besides entertainment, there were hundreds of exhibit booths with every RV gadget for sale. Outdoor displays included hundreds of RV's to view as well as accessories to large for the exhibit tents. It seemed nearly everyone had an FRS walk-talky to stay in touch with attending partners.

Each day had a theme sponsor. The above crowd is looking for a person with a matching number sponsored by Camping World. When you find the matching number, you get a prize and a chance to win bigger raffle prizes at the end of the day.

To the right is an example of an outdoor exhibit. This fellow is trying the Segway, a two wheeled personal mover, a fun $5,000 toy.

Part 2 will continue with my personal activities including the five seminars I attended and how I spent my one night at the rally.
