It's getting busy out here

We've got quite a community growing here in the desert. I was the third unit to pull in, then four more rigs arrived. I haven't seen Mike and Sandy for two years, when we met in Tucson. When fulltimers depart company we always say "See you down the road". Starting out it's hard to believe that folk can go so far away from each other and yet meet up again someplace else entirely, but now I know it works very well. When I say goodbye, see you down the road, I'm positive it will happen a year, maybe two, maybe more. But it will happen.

We're gathering up here before a rally in Yuma next week. Rallys are a big get-together of RV'rs that involves name tags, a vendor show, presentations by experts, near experts, faux experts, and idiots. Comparing it to my working days, it's a convention, but the attendees bring their own rooms. It's a good chance to get caught up on the latest talk and old friends, meet new people, get some new ideas. From here, I, like a lot of others, will be heading out in all directions, saying "See you down the road" and we know it's true...
