I know most of you back home are experiencing some really hot weather but so are we. For some reason I was thinking that if we traveled northward, the temperatures would be cooler but I guess Mother Nature has other ideas! It is still hot in Wyoming but we have to add in the very high winds -- up to 40 mph!
Today we played golf at Bell Knob Municipal Golf Course. It was a scramble and we teed off about 8:30 when the day was relatively cool but still windy. As the day wore on, the wind increased and so did the temp. We were worn out by the end of the round. The fun part of this scramble was that about every other hole only one player teed off. He/she was selected by hair length, hand size, age, oldest motor home, height, etc. And the most memorable part of the game was playing around the Prong Horn Antelope! We teed off over their heads, 6 were sleeping on the black tee box and some had to move so we could hit our balls and then they moved back to "their" spot! They were all over the course. You would have thought they belonged there!
The couple we played with were about 6-8 years older than us and we discovered that the lady used to work for a friendly competitor of John's. We have experienced that several times already this trip. We were looking at the new Newmar coaches on display and a man comes up to us wanting to know where we lived. Turns out that he grew up in Sedalia! And one couple in our caravan is good friends of one of my sorority sisters. Small world.
After golf we attended a new attendee's meeting, then the opening ceremonies then the entertainment for the evening. During that time a huge rain storm swept thru the area and cooled things down considerably. We couldn't wait to get back in the coach for dinner and showers!
