We were told that it was about 360 coaches.&nbsp; The other problem is that several vendors skipped this rally in favor of a rally in Missouri.&nbsp; We heard that some attendees left early.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>We were pretty busy in the booth.&nbsp; Folks like to talk about the product and had good questions.&nbsp; My seminar went well and Pat&#8217;s went very well.&nbsp; She got several great compliments and the ladies seemed to have a very good time.&nbsp; She got a couple of nice orders and that is always a plus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-bTWT2dKod4I\/UFaKxHA5c7I\/AAAAAAAAAdA\/QEbMiHl_XFc\/s1600\/Booth+at+Gillette+(Medium).JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"168\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-bTWT2dKod4I\/UFaKxHA5c7I\/AAAAAAAAAdA\/QEbMiHl_XFc\/s320\/Booth+at+Gillette+(Medium).JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\nThis is our booth at Gillette<\/div>\n<p>Gillette is an interesting place.&nbsp; They have a huge amount natural resources (oil, natural gas, and coal).&nbsp; We are told that the economy for the area is very good.&nbsp; Just across from where we parked, there was a great display of mining equipment that included a drag bucket that was as tall as the bus and an ore truck that was much bigger than the bus.&nbsp; I would have liked to spend more time, but we needed to leave the facilities by noon (we left closer to 1:00, but they did not call the cops {grin}).<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if SilverLeaf will ask us to do other rallies.&nbsp; We hope so as it is fun to do a rally where you don&#8217;t have to worry about paying the bills.<\/p>\n<p>That is all for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello from Chugwater, WY Sunday Evening&nbsp;&nbsp; September 16, 2012&nbsp;&nbsp; (Second travelogue of this trip).
