Today we once again got up very early to head to Soldotna with my kettle corn stand in a trailer. Unfortunately, when we got to the truck that was pulling the trailer from Ray's cabin, we found a flat tire. We ended up having to wait for Ray's family to come with a jack and fix the tire.
When we finally got to Soldotna, we spent hours cleaning out kettles in the rain, packing trailers, cleaning everything else, organizing, etc..., but we finally got it all done and packed.
Ray, Mike and I headed to Anchorage in a suburban. Everyone else had a truck and trailer. We stopped once to put more air in a tire of a truck, we stopped another time because the two guys pulling one of the trailers decided they had to have music playing... let's just say it was a very long ride to Anchorage that night.
When we got to the air force base, we had to get picture ID's to get in for the weekend, and to get the ID's we had to have a military sponsor. Fortunately, Ray's mom could sponsor us being the wife of a veteran.
When we got to our spot in the overflow camping on the base, we had to deal with a really rude guy in a camper trying to steal a picnic table (which we didn't really care about, just thought was rather rude), and his wife saying we were being too loud. By the way, it was about 10pm... not insanely late, and all we were doing was setting up the camp, and I didn't really think we were that loud. Oh well.
