Motorhome Rally--Gillette, Wyoming

 We have spent the last two weeks in Gillette, WY for our motorhome rallies and have been busy, busy, busy. There were 260 motorhomes for the Monaco International Rally where Mitch is Vice President and was in charge of door prizes for this rally. That kept him on the move.

The FMCA Rally has 2,200 or so motorhomes so the place is really hopping. Although we don't have "work" to do, it seems there is always something to keep us going.
We took a day off to visit Devils Tower about an hour away. We hiked around the bottom of this awesome structure to get a view from every angle.

Dan and Cari were with us and we had a great little picnic lunch (with wine) and watched the prairie dogs.
Gillette is the Energy Capital of the U.S. providing over 60% of the coal for power plants and we took a tour to one of the many coal mines. The whole process is fascinating and it was a very good tour. This whole area is sitting on a bed of coal and they pit mine tons of coal 24/7. Check out the white van and you can get an idea of the size of the rest of the equipment.
