Indiand Drums and Ancient Mysteries Rally
Gathering at the Campground
Roadtreks
in the campground. Being in a national park, the individual sites were
large, so we could spread out. There were about 27 Roadtreks at the
rally.
Checking Roadtrekkers in as they arrived.
Getting together with old friends to look at photos.
A
welcoming BYOB and appetizers party in the meadow was planned for the
first night. The forecast, however, was for strong winds, so our rally
masters quickly improvised a progressive party where guests went to
several different Roadtreks to "meet and greet" friends and partake of
appetizers. A clever idea and a big success!
Breakfast in the meadow was a pleasant way to start each day.
Getting ready for an exciting day.
It seems that a lot of Roadtrekkers brought a dog....
or even two dogs!
Some of the dogs got royal treatment.
Kit,
who trains therapy dogs, and trains therapy dog trainers, is working
with her dog, Dandy. Kit volunteered to be the dog sitter for the
rally and take care of people's dogs while they went out during the day
on rally excursions. Now that is dedication beyond the call of duty!
A rally is a time for relaxing....
and for more relaxing.
The evening campfire is always a lot of fun.
Doing
the Jemez Friendship dance around the campfire. We had learned this at
an Indian Dance demonstration put on by the Jemez Pueblo dancers.
Drawing
names for "door prizes". Most people won something. The prizes ranged
from coffee mugs to $100 gas cards (now that is a prize worth getting).
Hey, where's our prize?
