Nine coaches camped at Rockahock Campground in Lanexa, Virginia during July 21 - 23, 2006 hosted by Dan and Gail Young and Harold and Mary Anne Moyer. Guests were former members Bob and Val Terry from Florida and also Olga, Linda Bakos mother, Ian and Isaac, the Mills grandsons. Frank and Shirley Dance drove in Saturday morning for the business meeting. The Brocks, Barbara Broach, and the Villafranca's all former members drove in Saturday afternoon and joined us for dinner at the Fox Hunter Grill.

Around 4:00 p.m. Friday everyone met at the gazebo for a social gathering. That evening the hosts provided a hot dog dinner with Dan's great homemade hot dog chili, plus rolls, linguine salad, and chips. Friday night the campground showed a Walt Disney movie called "8 Below" at the amphitheater. We all gathered our lawn chairs plus bug spray and went to the movies. It was just like going to a drive-in movie with lawn chairs instead of cars (although there were some in golf carts) with Rockahock's concession stand serving popcorn and beverages. On Saturday morning the hosts served sausage and pancakes, orange juice and coffee with the business meeting following breakfast. Val Terry our Florida guest won the 50/50 drawing totaling $13.00. During the afternoon washer toss was played until and during social time. The Pressiner's brought their four person unique folding Porta-Bote and took several out for an enjoyable ride on the river. Saturday night the group went to Fox Hunter Grill a restaurant in the campground over looking the river. During dinner the restaurant's accordion player serenaded us and we also sang Happy Birthday to Heather Villafranca. Being as our dinner reservation had to be changed to 8:00 p.m. everyone was too full and sleepy to play Pass the Trash, maybe next campout!

Sunday morning the hosts served a continental breakfast, and then everyone said their goodbyes until next month.
