Heartland Rally Nashville, Tn

Tuesday was the first get together with the group. It was an early arrival dinner at the Caney Fork Fish Camp. We were seated with Mac and Netters and Marv and Karen.  We picked the wrong table…we were the last to be served, in fact most people were done and already heading out when ours arrived.. We had a choice of fish, ribs or steak. Kevin had the ribs and I had the steak. It was pretty good.

Wednesday morning I woke to some commotion outside. They were pulling these new cabins in and placing them across from us…

This KOA is still recovering from the terrible floods that took place several months ago in Nashville.  They lost quite a few cabins and still have sites without power as yet. Lucky for us they did get the Music Hall opened up just in time for our use.  Good thing, because it is nice and cool in there and boy oh boy is it every hot outside.

Around 3pm ourselves and another couple gathered at Mac and Netters for a cookout.

Mac doing his job…. he is a good cook!

Thanks Mac and Netters, it was yummy…

Last night was the 50’s show in the Music Barn. It is put on by the campground every Wednesday night. Kenny and the Krooners performed for us.   Hey, I was only a kid in the 50’s but did know all but two of the songs they performed. We had a good time and alot of laughs from Mac..

The official rally kicks off today. The vendors are set up and the seminars have started. This is a very light rally on seminars. From what I understand, every other year they hold it in Elkhart, In and that is larger on seminars . Of course Elkhart is the home of Heartland.    Tonight we will have our potluck dinner. Heartland will supply the meat and we will all bring the sides. Should be great!
