Last night we decided to ride over to the other side of the factory to grab a bite to eat at Melvin's. Tim and I had gone there last year and enjoyed the atmosphere and cold brew. This years visit did not disappoint. We met the bar owners and the locals that were there. We hope to meet up with them later in the week.
This morning we spent catching up with our friends who are already here in the Terra Port (where we are currently parked) at the Airstream factory. The Terra Port is a great little mini-camp next to the factory used for those who are here getting their Airstreams serviced. The afternoon came and went so quick and soon it was time to meet up with my Aunt Martha. She had gathered everyone together, including my cousin Tom and his family, for a really nice dinner nearby in De Graff at Gangsters. This is a really cool place set in an old building. They have gangster memorabilia all around, the waitress's are dressed like little flapper girls and sing on the stage in the window in between waiting on tables. The food was really great and I know they will do good. Aunt Martha . . . thanks again for inviting us . . . we had fun and enjoyed seeing you again.
As we departed Gangsters it was beginning to rain. It wasn't suppose to rain today. It's suppose to be drying out. This area has had soooo much rain this year. Raining every day and even floods. The ground is very saturated here and we know that this may become an issue next week with where we are to park in a field for the Alumapalooza event. The local farmers have not been able to plant crops yet this year. This time last year the field next to us had corn planted that was already about two feet tall by this time. Below I have a picture from last year and one I took today.
