Previous Outings

June 2024  Campout

Travelers arrived Sunday and Monday to beautiful towering pine trees of the Nevada County Fairgrounds. A few members, who will go unnamed, tried to find an alternate route into the fairgrounds. But it didn’t work!

Warm weather didn’t stop members from enjoying local sights and fare: Empire Mine State Historic Park, California's oldest and longest single span coverage bridge, Grass Valley and Nevada City where the movie “Christmas Card '' was filmed. It’s amazing how such a large group converged on the bridge at the same time and took a great picture. Some found good food at Humpty Dumpty, Pete’s

Pizza and Maria’s, while most licked an ice cream or two at Lazy Dog.

Continental breakfast was held inside the clubhouse/cottage, and potluck held on

the deck overlooking the campground followed by fun rounds of LRC. The group ate well!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Carol K. brought cake and ice cream to celebrate Andy’s birthday. Marilyn treated everyone with an ice cream cone on another evening. Brenda passed around her famous cookies at many of our evening circles. I want to personally thank them for the extra pound or two!

Thanks for all the fun,

Your host,

Boyd and Jill

What a great trip. Lodi and Flag City was a success. The weather was perfect, no rain this year. Eleven rigs all made it, we really filled the first row. It was a long walk from Gil & Hazel's rig to Janine & Dave's.

The Spring Hat contest was very festive and creative.  Carol and Lou were the winners. The pot luck was fantastic! Good soups and salads and oh the desserts, all so good thanks to each of you.

All the helpers with fines were very successful, I believe we collected a record amount. The money goes into our "kitty" to pay for clubhouse fees. Thank you all!

See you in June, Diane & David

Casa de Fruta is a destination all its own. It has wine tasting, large fruit stand, homemade candy, restaurant, children's train, carousel, and things to do for of all ages. The office staff is very courteous and accommodating.

We were able to utilize the Pacheco clubhouse without extra charge. With our colorful decorations of fall it was a very welcoming room for all to enjoy. The majority of our group arrived on Thursday early afternoon. Some went to lunch while others went to eat dinner later at the Casa de Restaurant.

On Friday, due to many activities surrounding the park it was basically a free day for all. Saturday morning, we had a wonderful continental breakfast, and our group meeting was held after. Afterwards many walked over to Casa de Fruta produce area for wine, gifts and/or ice

cream.

Saturday evening, we had our delicious potluck dinner. After dinner, fines were collected and later with all in attendance we played LRC. In both rounds it was Jill & Boyd making out with all the dough! This weekend was perfect for relaxation!

December 2023 Campout

The Club donated money to cover an Italian Christmas dinner special cooked by Cheryl and Marilyn. Games and white elephant gift exchange made it fun for camping members and local members who drove in for the day.

April 2023 Campout

Lucky US, no rain! Most members arrived Sunday and enjoyed lunch at a local Mexican Restaurant. Buena comida! Throughout the week, members enjoyed touring Napa and Calistoga. Marc and Carol won first place at the club's wine tasting contest with their bottle of 2017 Tobin James Zinfandel. 

Since there was no club house at Napa, members set-up canopies and lights on the lawn area for our gathering activity. Our host Lou and Marilyn, enticed everyone with their breakfast burritos and sweet fruit. Lou BBQed dinner franks for potluck and members brought side dishes for the event, with a surprise ice cream from Marilyn. Earlier in the week, Brenda rallied members to play an egg basket game in celebration of Spring. Members blindly passed a basket of plastic eggs from one basket to another over their head. It took three attempts for members to not drop an egg! We don't know whether that's a good or bad record but everyone had a good laugh. 

Members socialized, snoozed and enjoyed the lazy days in the bright sun.

See you in May at Flag City!

May 2023 Campout

What a great weekend. Eleven rigs and 20 members. The club wants to give our newest club member, Tina, a big welcome to our Los Viajaros Family. 

Flag City might not be a pretty campground but there sure is a lot to do and the club house is great. Because of the not so good weather we were able to gather together for meals and games including the Warriors Basketball games. What a noisy group we can be.

The bright sunny outfits on Sat. morning were a big hit. Marilyn and Lou were the best. Marilyn really got creative. Hope everyone gets to see the pictures. 

Cheryl did a great job making sure everyone had raffle tickets for the gift basket and plant. Hazel was the lucky winner.

The Cinco de Mayo pot luck was delicious. After dinner we played left, right, center and some watched the basketball game. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful extended weekend.
