Day 6
Saying Goodbye
Noel is fixing the final breakfast while
the rest of us caught some extra shuteye. The beautiful sunrise
portends a change in weather. Up to now the weather for the rally has
been absolutely beautiful, with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. As
the final breakfast ended, the rain started to come and it really
poured. Our rally masters did a great job of delivering good weather
for the rally; now we will the price for it. (photo courtesy of Dick
McGarrity.)
When we got up in the morning we weren't
sure where the final rally breakfast was to be held. But it didn't take
long to find out. Seeing a bunch of people standing around talking was
a pretty good tip off.
This was the final day of the rally, with
people heading off right after breakfast. So it was a time for saying
goodbye and wishing safe travels.
In this rally we have renewed old
friendships and made new friends. It has been a great time for all.
About a third of the people are continuing
on in a "oosey-goosey" extension to see more of the upper peninsula. I
guess we like traveling together so much that we don't want to stop.
We noticed that, as we traveled north, we were seeing more color change in the trees. Our "loosey-goosey" extension should allow us to see even more of the fall colors.
