Re: April 10th Packard's at the Scottsdale Pavilions.

We headed out for the 30 mile trip at about 4:00 pm with 80 degree temperature. The trip was challenging only because trying to navigate the car at 65 mph and get a picture of a road side saguaro (as requested by alburton) is tricky.
No cactus or Packard club members were hurt in this production
The cars arrived every few minutes. All made it with no trouble from all parts of our sprawling desert community. As fast as cars filled their places of honor, the spectators flooded over to see what may have been their first ever Packard in real life, or a Packard once again after many years. Forum member Duane G. set up the club table with club publications free to those interested in learning more about Packards and our chapter of PI. It was very encouraging to see how many people were interested in the cars. A number of young people showed what one might consider to be above average reverence for the opportunity to interact with the club members and learn more about all things Packard.
Everyone had a great time talking Packards and dreaming about which would be their next. There was also discussion about the great momentum Packard Info. is gaining. A fun time for all who came. In all, there were 15 cars that made the outing. I was able to photograph most, but not all. I apologize to those I missed.
Enjoy!
Jim
