The rains had finally stopped.  We must have been doing something right to convince the rain gods to let us have just one good event in June without moisture.  For those of you outside of the Austin area, this June was the second wettest on record with over 15 inches of the wet stuff.

Anyway, I picked up Herb T. and we trailered my M38A1 to Lakeway.  Late the night before, Herb was still dealing with electrical gremlins in his GPW and just couldn't exorcise them in time.  (but it's close...)  Danny K. trailered his M151A2/M416 combo and Glen V had a double whammy with his CJ2A and the MB of Jim H.  (aren't those long trailers great!)  Rick H also showed up with his M38A1 and John S and his friend drove his monster of an M35A2 in from the Taylor area. 

We met as usual at Scott Swensons' Auctioneers and this year shuttled his group of Civil War reenactors to the staging area.  We returned back to his office and picked up the TAVV guys and gave them a lift as well.

The parade started promptly at 8:30 and wound it's way through the village of Lakeway.  The spectators were sparse at the beginning but filled in nicely towards the end.  After the parade, we parked the vehicles and waited for the parade to end so we could make our way to the park for the picnic and party.  John and Rick opted out of the party in the picnic and departed.

Once the parade was over, Danny, Glen, Jim, me and Herb weaseled our way to the park.  One of the group (not me) ran out of gas on the way but the problem was soon fixed and arrival was only delayed by a few minutes.

We setup at the park by the water's edge and just hung out answering questions and doing the picture thing.  After the sun really going, we decided to wrap it up about 1:30pm or so.  With that, we made our departure, headed back to the trailers, loaded up and departed.
