Leaving the Newmar Rally

We ran into the town of Gillette to stock up on supplies and when we got out of the grocery store we heard the tornado sirens.  Drove the jeep as fast as we could back to the Busse Bus just in time to see other RVers packing up their rigs.  We put the dogs in the jeep, brought the slides in, gathered up all the outdoor furniture and threw them into the  RV and last but not least we had to get the bikes into the rig.  Fastest tear down to date.  It started to hail as we drove to the stadium to seek shelter.  Had to remain there with the other 800+ RV residents for about an hour as the storm passed.  Afterwards I was able to snap the photo of the lonely RV leaving in the sunset.

Last chance to purchase all of the “necessities” needed to ensure that we were better full timers.  New septic hoses (Bear ate through our existing one), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on the Bus and jeep, Rand McNally Map with GPS built for RV’s so that it only routes you where you can fit (size and weight does matter), and an ottoman.  Expensive day, but good thing we didn’t lose the Busse Bus during the storm – that would have been a disaster.

When we had a house Bear claimed our ottoman in the family room.  Some things don’t change:

Guess we will need to purchase another ottoman for our needs.
