The annual club convoy combined with the monthly meeting was held on a beautiful Saturday. For several days prior, Events Coordinator Danny was cleaning and prepping his place we affectionately call “Kaiserville” for the onslaught of historic military vehicles. In fine fashion, starting early Saturday morning the vehicles began to roll in.
The vehicle line-up this year included little trucks, big trucks and huge trucks. In fact, we had eleven vehicles this year! Glen V was there with his CJ2A, JD and his dad had their MB and Madison drove his M37. Rory drove his 5 Ton with Jeff L and his deuce. Danny had his M37 on display as well as his M151A2. Fred finally finished his project Navy CJ2A for it’s maiden ‘voyage’ and I brought my M38A1. Also there was Herb with his GPW and Chuck B and his wife Connie with their MB. After the majority of us had arrived and munched down on coffee and doughnuts, the club conducted an informal swap meet while Herb worked on some little project. About 11:30, it was time to roll out so we all fired up the vehicles and made the short 20 mile trip to Lockhart.
There, we went to Kreitz’s Market where we were treated to ample parking for the large number of vehicles. We sure did draw a crowd this time. After we secured our vehicles, we all headed inside to some pretty good bbq. About an hour or so later, with bellies full and fresh refills on iced tea, we headed over to the Lockhart County Courthouse for some photo opportunities. Many shots were taken in front of the historic building then we headed back to Kaiserville.
Upon arrival, we parked the vehicles and allowed ourselves to relax under the big awning and cool down as the temperatures were still climbing. When everyone was cooled off, we conducted our monthly club meeting in short order.
After the meeting, some members loaded up their vehicles for the long trips back to Corpus or San Antonio, while others stayed and enjoyed each others company.
It just doesn’t get any better than this…..
