Thursday Morning Breakfast 7.17/2014
The following quote from Lorna McGill (copied from facebook)
Going up for breakfast of pancakes, sausage & eggs. Ed went ahead of me as he was up at 6 or so & was really hungry. Guess I better get myself ready to go too, wouldn't look too good for the rally host to be lolly gagging around. Looking for rest of the gang to arrive today, believe we have 30 rigs here now, expect 6-8 more. . Really nice group, have AZ, AL, CA, OH & MI represented so far!! Expecting temp in the hi 70's today & plenty of sunshine

All lined up to go on the Interlochen Music Camp Tour
The following quote and pictures by Carroll Little (copied from facebook)
We were in Traverse City camped at the fairgrounds with Chapter 6 Escapees. One of the tours was to Interlochen. This is a school that started as a music school for children and now is an art school. The have musical instruments but also have drama, poetry, art, and writing classes. People come from all over the world to this school. Eight year olds are the youngest.
The flags are from students countries which are all over the world. The pianos are donated brand new are are wrapped to keep them from getting banged up and they sell them as used at the end of the year. There are individual buildings with the baby grand pianos for the students to practice in. The same goes for keyboards.I don't remember what the statue is but it was there.

We are so glad to have been able to take on this for our Escapee friends and give something back to them for all they give to us.
