| Event: | 2007 Club Convoy |
| Date: | 20th October 2007 |
| Location: | Kaiserville to San Marcos |
| Description: |
This year the annual club convoy was to San Marcos to attend the grand opening of member Robert W’s gunshop and lend some support by drawing in passers by.. Those participating assembled at Kaiserville early on Saturday morning. By 0730 we were enjoying doughnuts, cups of coffee and good conversation. Time was taken for all to take a good look at John SS’s debut vehicle, an impressive M820 5-ton expandable van. At 0830 we formed up and headed for San Marcos. Danny K led in his M37, followed by Madison in his M37, Glen V in his Jeep, Rick H in his m38A1, Rory in his M813A1 with Scott S as passenger, and John SS in the M820. It was a beautiful morning for a drive, cool but sunny. Glen brought several military radios along, so we were all in communication as we headed south down highways 183 and 21 into San Marcos. By 0930 we were at the gun shop, where we set up the vehicles in the parking lot for display, Robert’s Humber Pig armoured personnel carrier now joining the group. Later John K arrived. The vehicles got a lot of attention for the gun shop, and were carefully looked at by many customers. We were very impressed with Robert when a B-2 Bomber made a stately flyover, but he admitted that it must actually have been from an airshow going on in New Braunfels. We were fed with some truly great barbeque cooked on site by the gun shop crew. Great stuff! As the afternoon wore on, everyone headed home. A beautiful day, a good drive, good food, and good company. What more could be asked for? |
