If you are planning to attend the Gypsy Journal RV Rally and would like to be parked with your classmates:
Our class will be assembling in the staging area just outside the entrance gate to Casa Grande fairgrounds on Saturday, Feb. 9th until 2 pm, at which time we will enter as a group to be parked together.
Consider wearing your pink and orange class colors for easy identification.
The early bird fee of $12/day will apply for the 2 extra days; can be paid at the entrance.

Next to Last day in Q
Hi all,
Connie and I didn't get to spend a lot of time with you in the desert, but we did manage to get to the group a few times and had a great time with y'all.
This is kind of a test posting so Molly knows it will work having multiple people posting.
I'm adding one photo to the blog for now, showing the ingenuity of the testosterone club when caught in the desert on a Sunday during play-offs.
Yes, that IS a flat screen TV in the shade of the MH attached to a spare dish and a Honda generator. The boys got to watch the game and stayed out of the ladies hair.
I'll try to post more as our Class continues it's adventures.
Well, that's it for now, but stay tuned and check back often.
Paul
ps: check out our personal blog. It's called A Breath of Fresh Road.
