Sacred Rocks Rally


Another memorable rally ! What a beautiful area of ancient oak and manzanita trees,Cool nights perfect for sitting around a campfire and warm days for hiking, exploring or just sitting with friends chatting and/or playing games.

Eighteen rigs gathered for another great time of fun,camaraderie and eating (new nickname is the LEOs: Let's Eat Out).

A few members had new rigs to show off. The Kalendas and the Galeckis invited friends to take a look around. Very nice !

George and Wilda Bass arrived only to discover that little Mitzi wasn't hiding under the seat as they thought. She was no where to be found. After a quick call back home, she was discovered waiting on the front porch.

Several members ventured out to explore the small town of Boulevard. They enjoyed a good lunch at the Manzanita Diner, bought chocolates from the Candy Cottage and strolled the Thrift Shop.

Did you know there is a truck museum out there ? Better know as the Motor Transport Museum (CHECK IT OUT HERE) several members strolled the museum of a unique collection of industrial equipment and engines some dating back to the turn of the century. Other items included a small train locomotive, log splitters, a carbon arc aircraft used during World War 2. Their brochure claims the museum is like a hospital of wounded trucks waiting to be restored.

We missed several of you who planned to come. Rey A, our condolences for your recent loss, Mike F and Ed M ,we hope you are feeling better, Janice & Richard, we missed your desserts but hope the rig is on the road to recovery. Carol M, heal that shoulder so you can play some bean bag baseball soon !

Seems like its time to develop a Chapter cookbook book to share all the yummy recipes enjoyed at the pot luck and happy hours…… (any takers to organize one?)
