Event: Chisholm Trail Roundup Parade
Date: 09-Jun-01
Location: Lockhart, Texas
Description: The annual Chisholm Trail Roundup parade was held on a beautiful Saturday morning this year.  Last year, it rained miserably.  With the threat of Tropical Storm Allison (the 1st of the season) wreaking havoc on the Texas Gulf Coast, this was an event that could have been very wet!

Four club members participated in this event which was a lot of fun.  Danny and Scott trailered their jeeps from Austin about 25 miles away, unloaded and staged.  Jeff had a tow bar for his and Claude drove the WC in.  When the judges came around, Scott told them all about our privately owned historic military vehicles.  They must have been impressed as we won Grand Prize for the Antique Vehicle Category!  (our 3rd or 4th year in a row now)

Present were Danny and his '70 M151A2, Claude and his '41 Dodge WC27 Ambulance, Scott and his '53 M38A1 and Jeff McD and his '45 MB.  Jeff also brought a friend John along for the event.  After the parade, we all met at Black's BBQ which was most excellent.  Last year we tried Krietz's Market and it wasn't that great.  On a side note, Lockhart is known as the "BBQ Capitol of Texas"

Unfortunately, our local Walgreens Drugstore film developing machine "ate" the film that contained the pictures of this event.  It's the first time I've had a roll of film not developed and it's not a pleasant feeling.
