Run to The Sun 2012

Image
We took the 51 to the Run to the Sun Car Show in Lake Havasu City Arizona last weekend October 18, 19, & 20.  We stayed in our camper at "Crazy Horse RV Park" on Havasu Island where the car show was held.  Charlie the blonde dog had never been in water before and he enjoyed his wade in the lake. We arrived on thursday and picked up the registration paper work and paid for a reserved parking psace.  I did the walk about around the display area to pick out a space and to place ther eserved sign.  Then we spent the day just enjoying the warmth and sunlight. Friday and Saturday was car show from 8 am to 4 pm with about 700 other cars. We didn't win anything but enjoyed the show visiting friends, watching people, looking at cars and where we stayed. We are headed to the Fort Mohave K-9 Benefit Car Show Nov 4th 9 to 2 on Hwy 95 all proceeds go to the Mohave County Sheriff's K9 program which is supported entirely by the community.  Hope to see you there !

Kingman Air/Auto Show

Image
Went to the Kingman Air/Auto Show October 6 & 7th with the 51 and was disappointed that the event was not as good as it had been in the past years. There were only 25 to 30 cars on Saturday and 21 on Sunday with only a few being street rods and one unique stage coach vehicle on a Ford truck chassis. The "Pick -a-Part" Jet powered Truck put on a good show and the Air show was good but fewer planes this year.  The radio control model air planes were very good. I will be at the "Run to the Sun" in Lake Havasu City on October 18, 19, and 20 with the 51.

Roddin on the River

Image
We used our new rig a Lance Model 1181 that is an 11'6" camper on the F350 dually and the new Wells Cargo 24' enclosed trailer at the end of September to go to "Roddin on the River" car show in Laughlin NV at the Riverside Resort.  We stayed at the Riverside Resorts RV Park. We arrived on Friday Morning and checked in, go the RV set up then tried to get the 51 out of the trailer but it would not start.  I spent 2 hrs taking covers off and testing everything and finally found 4 blown fuses that were replaced and the car started.  We spent Friday and Saturday at the "Show & Shine"  walked around to look at all the cars and trucks (some really nice ones) and went to see Don Laughlin's car collection.  It was in the 90's and 100's both days and we used our shade chairs. On Sunday morning the awards were given out at 7:30 am where we got an award for the 51.  We left the resort at 10:00 am and arrived home about noon.
