Today the Region 12 Rally ends.  We are hitching up and getting ready to leave… The tent is coming down, and most of the campsites are already vacant…

We drove about 4 hours south, through the central valley, to Visalia.  There we stopped by to see long time friends, Dave and Mary Baas.  We were last at their house in 2011, on or way home from another Airstream trip…

We caught up on the news and family and friends.  We shared a lovely happy hour and had a nice dinner together.  It is great when old friends reconnect after many years.

We left their house about 8:00 and drove about 6 miles further south; we stopped to shop at Walmart and decided to make a night of it.  We parked the Villa where we were directed by the security guard, and we turned in for the night.
