NCT Campout at Greenville

Perfect weather for a campout at Greenville on 10-16 October 2013.  Beautiful days and a little cool at night, just right for a campfire.  The sun flowers are in Yellow Springs and there is a bee on the first picture.

Good Sam Campout at Marion

Campout at Marion on 18 thru 22 of September 2013.  Beautiful weather except for Friday night when it rained all night.  Did not stop the fun.  There were 330 rigs at the Samboree.   Wonderful entertainment on Friday night.  Rick K and the allnighters.  The drummer and Rick put on an excellent show.  The drummer was like Gene Krupa from the 50s.   If you would like to see them, go to "rick k and the allnighters" on the internet and see them.  On Saturday night, we had Sarah Getto who is a 29 year old blind girl that can really sing.  Excellent entertainment.  Scattered Sams Chapter #56 had twenty rigs.

2013 NCT National Rally

 NCT National Rally in Lincoln Alabama on July 14-19, 2013.  The weather was in the high 80s most of the time.  We had very little rain but one wind gust that took off two awnings from Roger/Sally Simmon's and Andy/Tina Krasnansky's motorhomes.  Over all, a good rally.  Some of the things that we did follow.

Rows of garages for the cars.

The top wall is made of styrofoam

This is where all the motorhomes and large vehicles come into the infield.  Otherwise you come thru a tunnel under the racetrack.

This is banked 33 degrees and you have to be going 80 mph to stay on the track.
