It was a crisp and cool morning and we couldn’t have asked
for better weather - with the sun shining it was beautiful. I
don’t know for most of the participants, but for us it was an
hour-long drive to get to the beginning of the rally checkpoint
to meet all of the other participants. In the end we had 13 cars
and 29 people – a good turnout.
The drive itself was beautiful. All the long stretches were
amazing- just lots of green grasses and tons of cows! We had
one member say that that’s what he was going to remember
the most from this rally: the cows. We were first out so as to
get to the destination restaurant and get set up for arrivals.
We had two people following that didn’t have navigators. We
had a wonderful jaunt through the countryside.
When we arrived at Lazy Dog we were a bit earlier than our
appointment time but they were more than accommodating;
they sat us right away and were fabulous. We chatted and waited
for more to show. As
participants started
arriving at different
intervals we started
hearing of heroic
tales of going across
the countryside and
bailing and just
coming straight to
Lazy Dog, along
with other tales of
trips to Oklahoma
and back.
Apparently, there
was an Easter bunny
that ate a direction to
turn right onto FM
902 while delivering
his eggs and made
everyone miss a
turn. Sooooooo we
are happy that most
of the cars showed
up, and we hope
Alan and Gigi Nusbaum
Thane Hayhurst and Rich Meszaros
that the teams that didn’t show up had a fun time hopping
around the countryside. We hope they weren’t too mad.
The only costume award went to Rich Meszaros. Ironically,
he and Thane Hayhurst won second prize for the questions.
First prize went to Alan and Gigi Nusbaum. All in all we
think it went well in spite of the hiccup. We have fixed the
route instructions, should it be used again. We were happy
that everyone came out to have fun. Looking forward to
seeing our participants on the next one. Happy and Safe
Driving until then!
