Those coupons for a free drink in the bar every day sure are condusive to conversation. Skid's making a point....

The weather had improved very little when Sandy, Skid, Slots and Jack settled in at the bar. To quote Bob Marley..."In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty"....but at this rally you would be a fool not to use your "free drink" coupon every day!

Hats off to the chef!

It wasn't long after we arrived and unpacked that the Thursday monsoon arrived. It doesn't rain like this in Puget Sound. Honest.

Here's the rally virgin sitting under the trees in Carson City. At least Sherm left Kawani in the shade.
