This month's breakfast meeting is Saturday, the 15th of August, at Mahoney State Park Lodge at 9:00. As always the breakfast buffet will be served, but unlike the past few meetings, there will be another event following. Our first annual picture rally will follow at 11:00.
We will form up in the park's front parking lot, where each participant will be given a map of the route and a few pages of pictures. We will take the odometer reading from your car (distance matters) and tell you to have a good trip. After a drive of about 40 miles, all on paved secondary roads and many over hills and around turns along the Platte, you will arrive back at Mahoney.
Your task on the drive is to find the objects represented in the photo's and place them in the order they are found on the route. Some are very easy; all of us will see the lighthouse on Highway 6, some are moderately hard, and a few will escape all but the most observant. The speed you travel is entirely up to you. The only thing that counts is 10 points for each picture in the right order, -10 points for each decoy picture, and -3 points for each .5 miles over the total as determined by Jim Danielson's F150 Pick-up truck. We could not get an accurate reading from any of our LBCs. Sorry. |
The first place driver and navigator will breakfast free in Omaha next month. The second place driver will breakfast free next month, and the third place driver will get the tip for her/his breakfast. If you miss breakfast in Omaha, you lose your prize.
PLEASE, LET BOB SHAW KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO TAKE PART IN THE PICTURE RALLY BY 10:00 P.M. FRIDAY, SO HE CAN HAVE THE PROPER NUMBER OF PICTURE SHEETS PRINTED. CALL HIM AT HOME, (402)435-4905. You are welcome to drive along in any event, but we will not have maps and photo sheets for those who do not call. We do hope you will participate in this event. We think it will be a great deal of fun for all involved. |
