2014 Aug 7 - Trip to Redmond, Oregon for the 90th Annual FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) Convvention

Trip to Redmond, Oregon for the 90th Annual FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) Convvention

Entered US on Sat. 9 Aug
Entered Canada on Sun 17 Aug
Back to Stony Plain / Vegreville on Mon 18 Aug

We left Stony Plain on Thur. 7 Aug and spent the night in the Walmart camping lot in Red Deer, with plans to meet up with our small group in the morning.  This particular Walmart is right beside a VERY busy intersection and there are a LOT of loud vehicles in Red Deer..... Thankfully once the windows are closed it is nice and quiet.
In the morning, Tom let me know they would be late getting away so we decided to meet up with them at the Cranbrook Casino that night.  We left fairly early as the parking lot fills up fast and it is way to easy to get boxed in if you are not careful.
En route down south, we stopped at a rest stop and gave the Motorhome a quick wash as there was no one else around. It also gave us a chance to get some water and dump some waste!

Cranbrook Casino was easy to find and located just towards Kimberly as you approach Cranbrook from the East on Hwy 3..... There were some motorhomes from our group already there but we did not know them yet so we had a look around and then left Darlene to gamble while TJ and I went exploring and looking for bugs!

Tom and Elaine pulled in about 6 pm, and let us know about the others and that we were planning to leave around 9 the next morning.

                                                            TJ with his
                                                            trusty net
                                                            hunting bugs


I wanted a shot of our rig beside Tom and Elaine's
but TJ found a bug as I was getting ready to shoot....
Tooooo funny so I snapped the shot!


Oh, Darlene won 300 and then lost 200, but came home a winner!
