We will try to get as many pics as possible. Going to be a modest first event, with the majority of folks coming out of the Phoenix, AZ area.

I was hoping the local So Calif PI Chapter would have had more members registered to attend, but unfortunately they scheduled their monthly day tour for the same weekend. But looks like the weather is not going to be on their side with a 60% chance of rain predicted in So Calif on Sat.

The touring day will be wonderful in Laughlin with weather in the low 70's and sunshine. A new 40 mile round trip up into the local foot hills to Oatman, AZ. A one time turn of the century "one street" mining town. Old route 66 runs right down the middle of the little town. Wild burros wander the streets and tourists feed them carrots. Neat little Tourist Trap, complete with mock Gun Slingers fighting it out in Old West fashion every few hours.

Also the Host hotel has it's own auto museum that is free, and contains about 80 different vehicels.
