3-28-2023 Texas Ramblin' Roses Rally, Camp Wood TX

 We had a great rally. The hostesses picked a good location that was out of the way but perfect. I arrived on Thursday. I was all set up and getting a little nervous waiting on my sister-in-law Elaine to arrive since I knew she was going to be coming in a hilly, curvy road. No Verison cell phone service here so I couldn't call her to check but she arrived and was all set up before I knew she was there. She sent me a message but, of course, I didn't get it. Friday, Judy, Lois, and Deb were busy cooking up bacona nd sausages ahead of time for the Saturday breakfast. That was a lot of bacon and the smell filled the rally room.


In between the work, games were in progress.

Our treasurer Hilde got a Ladderball tournament going that went on for two days with playoffs. Some ladies were really good, others.......well it was fun.

Barbara had the technique down pat. Lots of cheering from the sidelines.

Judy and Lois serve up banana nut and blueberry pancakes, sausage, and bacon for Saturday morning breakfast.

Lots of visiting, welcoming new members, and games.

Saturday night was a chili cookoff. there were about 12 big pots of chili to judge and eat for dinner. Judy won the chili with the most beans category and was awarded a bottle of Beano for her efforts. Elaine came in third. She also had the most truly Texan chili (no beans). Barbara was second and Deb, one of our hostesses, came in first.

The rally room was great with a kitchen, bathroom, and large dining area. It also came with a big shady porch which was great for watching the ladderball tournament and well as relaxing and playing games.

Our members travel in all kinds of rigs and are always ready to show them off.





Not sure this captures all the rally attendees but we try.

Sunday night found some of us still rallying. What fantastic sunset!

Monday was a relaxing morning. The park had no problem with Elaine and I hanging around until almost noon since we were on our way to Garner State Park. We headed back across the Nueces River, through Camp Wood and on to Leakey.

The road to Leakey is one of the famous Twisted Sisters roads that are loved by motorcycle riders for all their hills and curves and thrills. It was fun. Unfortunately, there are no places to pull over and get photos of the fabulous scenery. And we survived!
