Family Motor Coach Assoc Rally in Gillette, WY

We made this a 3 day drive.  Our first night we spent in Liberal, KS.  We found a memorial to Dorothy and the Wizard of OZ.

We arrived at Gillette, WY along with 2600+ other coaches.  See below.  As you can see we were crammed in like sardines.  We had full service with all hookups.  Not everyone did.

We attended lots of seminars and learned a lot about our coach and maintaining for it.  We drove back in 2 1/2 days.  Great trip.
