Wow what a storm, Orthober's leaving

Boy did we have a storm here last evening. We went over to Donna/Grants around 7pm and Larry, David and Gary were helping Grant take down his awning. They will be leaving in a few days and the sky sure wasn't looking very good so Grant decided to just go ahead and take in down (he has one like ours with all the arms on it). They know sooner got it rolled up and everyone made a dash for inside their trailer, the sky opened up and it just poured. Weather station had warnings, watches, flash's, wind warnings, you name it we were getting it. Grant put coffee on and we all just relaxed and enjoyed our last evening with Gary & Marilynn as they were leaving early the next day. It only lasted a little over a hour but the local report say's 4 inches of rain, pea/marble size hail, wind gust of 60mph, 1-2 feet of water in downtown Mission and one frontage road with standing water up to windshields. This sure gave our trailers a work out on making sure there wasn't leaks anyplace. I wish I had my camera with me, course it was raining so hard you couldn't see across the street so guess it wouldn't of done any good.

Early (8:00) this morning Gary and Marilynn Orthober's pulled out. They are heading for Door County WI where they have a home.

This is their little travel home. Isn't it just the cutest thing. Larry said it would fit up on the back of our truck and we'd have a motorhome.
One last shot of the boy's being boys.
Goodbye Gary & Marilynn. We miss you already.

So we are down to three couples here that we spend most of our time with. Cypcar's, Zinneckerg's and Mayers. Zinneckerg's and Mayers are both leaving this week. Cypcar's and us are the die hard. We both will be taking off in two weeks.

Guess that's it for today. Welcome - Bay City MI, San Antonio TX, Tehachapi CA, Linden, MI, Till next time..........................
