January 2006 Indio FMCA Ralley - Week 022

Greetings from Palm Springs,
We spent three weeks at home during Christmas visiting the kids, family and friends.  Since most of you reside there we did not send out weekly updates.  Last week we came down to the Palm Springs area for an FMCA rally.

We had hoped to escape the cold by coming to Palm Springs, however the cold front followed us. 

We spent several days at the FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) rally in Indio. We met a lot of nice people (many from British Columbia who were escaping their freezing weather), went to many exhibits, and attended a few classes which taught the "ins and outs" of motor homing. There were 1,700 motor homes at the fairground with us. It was very well organized. Our favorite part of the rally was the morning devotions with the other motor homers from all over the world. What a special time that was. 

We spent a couple evenings with our friend, Sheryl, from Outdoor Resorts Motor Coach Country where we first met her in November. That was very fun.
        
      
    



This Dixieland Band of RV'ers lead us in two hours of Gospel Music on Sunday morning.

Next week we will stay in the Palm Springs area until Friday when we go to the Quartzite RV Show.  It has been said that 250,000 people will visit Quartzite in that week.  

Love, Pete and Ellen
