Cape Cod Rally

Again this year a multi-day, multi-chapter FMCA Rally was held along the Cape Cod Canal at Scussett Beach.  Four Metropolitan members who are also members of the New England Chapters holding the Rally were in attendance.  The weather was fantastic, the Beach and the trail along the canal were thoroughly enjoyed by all.  Mo was asked to help serve some of the meals, which he did in his own style, and was received warmly by everyone there.  It was a terrific Rally!

Below are some of the pictures from the Rally.
