Not too long after we leave the Grand Canyon in mid September, we'll be heading north to Carson City, NV. for a mini RV rally that we've been planning for the Family Motor Coach Ass'n (FMCA) Golden Spike Chapter, of which, we are members.
Since joining this group over a year ago, we have attended two rally's, one on the Mount Hood Railroad in Oregon, and one at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City, NV. As you might expect, with membership in any organization, friendships are quickly established, many that last a lifetime. This group gets together 2-4 times a year, usually at a tourist railroad somewhere in the western states. The rally's are planned by members, and I kind of volunteered to put something together in Carson City, after the newly rebuilt Virginia & Truckee (V&T) Railroad started operating in late 2009.
On our way to the Pacific Northwest in the spring of last year, we had the chance to ride on the new V&T, and I thought at the time, this would be a great venue for a Golden Spike Rally. I wrote a blog post on May 31st, 2010 about the new V&T.
Most of the planning for the Sept 29, 30, Oct 1st Carson City Rally is done. I just need to finalize a couple of last issues, then send the itinerary & registration pages to our newsletter editor, Barbara Westerfield. She will then publish it in the about to be released Golden Spike Chapter Newsletter, and our members will be able to sign up. So now, it's back to the phone.
