The 2012 Western Meet
As usual, we had another great Western
Meet in Carson City, Nevada with 10 members in attendance. I enjoyed my
1,900 miles of driving and it was fun to travel with a few members. My
odometer rolled over to all zeros for the first time as I was driving
home through Northern California so it was a cool
milestone. |

Matt and Christine, Jay, Doug and I left Bend, Oregon for Carson City Thursday morning but did not get far before discovering Doug's leaking water pump gasket. We got it fixed by lunch and continued on our way. We arrived in Carson City late in the evening and were greeted by other members. |

Sunday |

|
The poker run on Sunday took us through several golf courses in the area with some nice views along the way. We all had terrible poker hands but it was still a nice cruise. At the event awards ceremony, I received the Endless Ride (long distance) and Jay received the Best Black Beauty award. Jay had some sort of carb/fuel issue during staging at the awards and we eventually got his trailer and pushed it in. We had a BBQ at Cameron's house in Reno and presented the FGMCC awards and door prizes.
