We all met at Kaiserville this warm and muggy morning and were treated to Krispy-Kreme's and hot coffee.  With an appointed departure time of 0800, we headed out South to Lockhart for the Chisholm Trail Roundup parade.

Included this time were Danny and his M37, me and my dad in my M38A1, Matt W and his M151A2 (formerly Danny's mutt), Toby and his MB, Fred and his Navy CJ, Madison and his M37, Rory with his three kids and his 5-ton, and tail-end-charlie Jeff L with the deuce.  Also participating were Danny's son and three grandkids who came in for the week preceding the parade.

True to form, as each judges car passed I had to give them each my 'speech' about the club.  I took a lot of razzing from the guys this time about it and I told them if they wanted me to stop I would, but when we didn't win anything, it was their fault.  Well, the parade started as a reverse order event and when we arrived at the official starting point, we were awarded Grand Champion for the parade.  (i think i'll keep up the speech for the judges)

The temperatures had really begun to climb by now and we meandered down the various streets and around the courthouse.  There were a LOT of people lining the streets for this event which made it really worthwhile.  We didn't have any vehicle casualties either.

After the parade, we made our way to Krietzes Meat Market on the edge of town and were treated to a great lunch of ribs, sausage, brisket and sides.  I don't believe anyone left hungry.

After a great, relaxing lunch in A/C, we made our way back to the vehicles, fired them up and headed back to Kaiserville to call this event "done".  Yet another one in the record books and we look forward to next year.
