Invite and They Will Come

Wednesday morning found us headed toward Rockport Texas to the Wilderness Oaks RV Resort. Maybe I need to go back just a little further. One of the goals for the Texas Ramblin' Roses, the Texas Chapter of RVing Women, is to have a rally for our members every month. At the end of June, we still didn't have a rally scheduled for July, August, or September. I heard lots of "it's too hot for a rally". Hey, we live in Texas and we are tough. I got on the phone with Diane at Wilderness Oaks RV Resort and asked if she had room for a rally in July, August, or September.....August and September were best for her so I said I would host a rally in August. She put 30 sites on hold for us and we were set.

This is not the first rally I have hosted at Wilderness Oaks but the other two were for a small group. How can you help but feel welcome when you pull in and see this sign right out front. The rally was scheduled for Friday through Sunday but I headed down on Wednesday to take advantage of a little R&R in advance.

I checked in at the office and got settled into my site without a problem. I had already told everyone that unless they had a monster rig, they did not need a pull-through. The workcampers at this park can make anyone look like a pro even if they have never backed an RV before. They have a real talent for giving just the right directions to slip you into the sites. My friend Mary Jane always wants a pull-through but she was thrilled with how easy it was to back in with the directions from the guys.

You might have thought we would be the only ones at the park two days early but no. There were several others that arrived on Wednesday. We got a great rally rate and everyone wanted to take advantage of it. Just some of the cute décor at the park.

They have a great salt water swimming pool that leaves your skin feeling great. It was warm as a bathtub from the sun and felt absolutely great.

There is also a small jacuzzi, an exercise room, great family style bathrooms, a laundry, dog park, etc.

The Clubhouse or rally room for us has a great kitchen and a huge room. It was ours for the duration right after the line dancing class on Thursday morning.

So now on to the rally!
