Despite some confusion over the location of the Gold Dust West Casino RV Park, everyone who signed up for the rally, arrived safely by 4pm yesterday. In my directions on the original registration form, I noted that the RV Park was at the southwest corner of Hwy 50 & Hwy 395. Well, there just happens to be 3 intersections where Hwy 50 & Hwy 395 join together here in Carson City, and my apologies to those that did a few dosie does, before finding their way here.
President Tom in one of his many "tie dye" shirts After some delicious appetizers prepared by the gals, and lots of conversation, our president Tom Westerfield presided over our Golden Spike Chapter meeting, and we called it an evening by about 9pm. We voted to donate $100 to the Mills Park Railroad that we'll be riding this morning, and the Chapter will also be making a monetary donation to the Nevada State Railroad Museum which we visit this afternoon. The decision as to the amount we donate to the Museum will be made before the group leaves Carson City.
We had enough door prizes to give away, so that every couple received something. We didn't really plan it that way, it just so happened that we had 12 items, and that's the number of RV's present for the rally. 
By the time we finish dinner this evening at Red's Old 395 Grill, I'm sure we'll all be ready to call it a day. Tomorrow is the ride on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, with a steam engine as the motive power. Anytime I can ride on a train being pulled by a steam engine, it's a good day!
