Lone Star Birds Rally, Kinder, LA

[ronmarabito2002]

Well, the rally is nearing its end. Haven't counted the coaches,
but I'd say there are 15 or 16 present. I think there were 12
cancellations for one reason or another. Sorry you missed the rall.

Today, the temperature finally got up into the 60's, but the wind
was strong. Shirley and I played golf yesterday and today, but today
we were joined by Paul Anderson of Baton Rouge, LA. We had a great
time, but the wind sure hurt our scoring.

Several folks went to a Tobasco Factory today and others went to
visit an island. This evening, about 20 of us went to "D.I's", which
is a Cajun Restaurant and dance hall. We were entertained by Mardi
Gras Dancers, had great food and fun. This place is in the middle of
no where and packed. Roy made arrangements to make sure we all got
in. This place is along LA 97 south of Basile, LA 8 miles and about
30 miles from our camp at Coushatta Casino & Resort.

Several attendees have had some pretty good winnings at the
casino. One fella won $500 playing the penny slots. I'm sure some
lost, but you don't hear much about that.

Tomorrow morning we will have breakfast at the Casino and have a
brief meeting to determine the Rally Schedule for the balance of the
year. After that, most will depart. Some plan to stay till Monday.

To all those who came, thank you for a great time and see you at
the next Lone Star Birds Rally in April.
