| Description: |
This was almost an after-thought for me since I
attended the Gonzales Come and Take It parade earlier in the
day. With a few hours of daylight left, I decided to head
over to Camp Mabry and see what was going on.
I arrived and passed the checkpoint then found my way to a good
spot to unload. Danny was following me as well and we both
headed over to the display area where we parked the
vehicles. Danny headed for the Texas Association of Vietnam
Veterans, I headed for the rest of the club vehicles.
Once in line, I chit-chatted with fellow club members, took a
stroll around the parade grounds to look at all the really neat
WWII stuff including vehicles, encampments, equipment and
gear. After a few hours of that, I made my way back to the
club vehicles where Glen V (aka: McGuyver) field stripped his 1903
.45ACP before my very eyes and assembled it in about a
minute. Amazing!
Just before the sun began to make it's decent, I loaded the
jeep back on the trailer and headed for the house. A great,
DRY muster day this year. |
