The Nile Valley Rally is the highlight of our summer. We love the rally, the location and most of all the tribe that makes it all happen. Hubby and I stopped at The Brick in Roslyn for lunch. It's the oldest watering hole in Washington, it's been open since 1895. We met the Pendleton Whisky reps and had a nice visit with them.
Camp counselors, Rita and Denise had a summer camp theme this year. I cannot stress enough what a great job these two women and their families do every year to put together this rally. Different themes and so much fun planned for us makes it my favorite rally.
The Camp Store had postcards, candy including candy cigarettes, chick-0-stix, and other childhood favorites, badges, and banners.
They had many opportunities for the campers to earn badges including building bird houses, ax throwing, knot tying, wood burning, paint by number, flamingo floating and getting toasted.
I loved getting my wood burning badge and now I have an album to keep my memories.
There were rubber duck races and just sitting at the river and my favorite activity, floating in the river.
World problems were solved, thanks guys!
We parked Huaka'i Annie in a pretty spot in a good neighborhood.
Yep, those are hubby's boxers with his name sewn in, just for camp, hanging on the door.
I love Wendy's Aloha.
Ed and Kathy's new to them 1962 Aloha made her debut camping trip.
The public could tour on Saturday morning. I did some touring too.
Twin bed envy.
I could have laid down and took a nap in Bev's cozy trailer.
Don't mind me I'm just snoozing in your trailer.
Saturday afternoon was the flamingo float on the river.
Saturday evening we had dinner and then closing ceremonies. Badges were awarded and the flag ceremony took place.
On Sunday morning our hosts fed us a sweet cream pancake breakfast benefiting the local fire hall. It was time to hit the trail and we said our good byes and gave our thanks for another fantastic rally.
Hubby and I had reservations at Rimrock Lake Silver Beach Resort. Jeremy and Rene decided to join us. It's so fun when you leave camp to go camp s'more and then your peeps get to join you.
It turned out to be a great spot to watch the solar eclipse.
The mountains and lake back drop were perfect.
Annie had a waterfront site at Rimrock Lake.
It was so good to see our vintage trailer tribe, enjoy the mountains, the river and the lake and relax.

Tami, that looks like so much fun! We were just at a friends' cottage and they had one of those giant flamingos. The trailers are so quaint. So much thought goes into them. -Jenn
