Sidecars Everywhere!

We are at the United Sidecar Association National Rally from now til Sunday Morning. I, for one, have never seen so many sidecars in one place. Several people have taken pictures of my beautiful scoot and its car. So many different kinds of sidecars! As of now there are 3 Bergmans, but only mine has a Kenna car.

Tonight is a social event and then tomorrow the real events start. And so do the severe thunderstorms. The weather guys say the storms will be "torrential", which makes riding about sound like not much fun. But there are seminars tomorrow too, here at the fairground.

It is really hot here in Coeur d'Alene and our front a/c seems to have gotten tired of trying to cool things off. We're running fans and the rear a/c, which is trying to keep up with the heat. We "cheated" and took the truck on some errands and went out to Jimmy John's for supper, as Ray REALLY did not want to stand over a hot grill cooking burgers. We felt much cooler when we got back to the motorhome.

We stayed a couple of days at Crescent Bar, on the Columbia near Ephrata, and went to Ephrata for church on Sunday. It was nice and cool in the church, unlike in our building. Then we moved on for a few days at Little Diamond Lake. Pretty hot in those places too. After the rally, we will go back to Crescent Bar until next Saturday, when we'll head for home. We had planned some rides during these 2 weeks, but agree that it's not so much fun when the temp is 92. So we may just "hang out" in the mh.

Would you believe that this county fairgrounds has free wi fi through out the camping area and it's high speed?! Our campground at Little Diamond had a connection so slow it was nearly unworkable. I wish everywhere had high speed. I'd even pay for it.

Poor Norman is afraid of thunder and so I think he will have a rough night and day tomorrow during the storms. In the mh, he hides under the end of the bed or between the wall and the bed. Poor dog.
