First ones here. Getting settled into the room. Figure probably a couple hours before others start showing up so we'll do a little sightseeing.

1800 miles later and we are in Virginia City. Looks like a good group. We sat on the patio tonite with everyone, couple of cold ones, a lot of BS, and meet and greet in the AM. All because of a car. It doesn't get any better than this.

The roadster left me stranded on the freeway yesterday, so we may not bring the car but still plan to show Wednesday. We can be the chase vehicle (RAM 1500) because none of you have room for any emergency supplies in your trunks. Please advise whether there is still a road trip planned for Wednesday.

Tentative drive wed is carson pass route 88. If you can make it in the car, great. If not then however you can get here is great too.

If you're making the Carson Pass drive you'll lunch at/near Pollock Pines, right? We'd like to meet the gang there and return with you, car or truck. Send me a PM and I'll PM you back with my mobile number so we can stay abreast of late breaking developments.

Thanks.

Immediately upon arriving at the auto museum parking lot we noticed a very familiar looking tent and some banners. There also happened to be 4 kinfolk of the car some of us drove down here.

The SRT brand representatives happened to be down in Reno, at the museum parking lot the same day we decided to stroll on in. They were shocked to see all 10 of our cars drive on up. They asked us to line the cars up for some photos in front of their demo cars and had their photographer go up on top of the building beside it to take some photos. Watch the SRT facebook page/twitter feed/SRT drive website for photos of us! Had a great time.

Gang is all on their way to various destinations. Met a lot of great people, had some great fun, made some great friends and saw some new places. Cant ask for any more.
Have a safe trip home everybody and be sure to post up a photo or 2 when you get the chance.
