As the sun sets over the mountains surrounding Lake Topaz, HSVROC05 comes to an end. A good time was had by all. A huge thanks for all the work that was done....the Huntley's food, the ride leaders, the helpers at the rally, Howard and Linda for the raffle, those that donated items for the raffleand expecially Don VSP for getting it all together. He's really not such a VSP!

Robert "Top Dawg" the one next to Nitelite on the table, was the big winner in the raffle. Although he didn't get as many items as some of the big spenders, his were pretty good.....over $300 for the 50/50 cash, and the Adobe Photo shop software that jest had donated! Actually, he won a bottle of some kind of booze and traded it to Todd for the Photoshop...Go figure that one!
Howard (Nitelite) and Linda did an excellent job with the raffle. There were a couple thousand bucks worth of nice things to give away. Thanks to the VROC'ers that donated some VERY nice things. I'll mention 2 I remember, Sky for a new leather jacket, and jest for a new, in the package, Photoshop Pro 7.0. (drool, drool) and there were others that donated cash as well. This were the best door prizes I've seen at any VROC function so far. Way to go Howard and Linda! That's Barb Huntley, Linda and LAS getting it all organized.

By contrast, this coffee shop is Holy Grounds. In fact, they just closed for an interdenomational service that is going on next door. She let me stay here to finish the blog. A differet looking young lady that those from this morning!
I didn't think I was going to be able to get on line for another day! The only motel with WI-FI had their computer taken out by lightning last night, the E-cafe was closed, and I was told there wasn't any other place closer than Reno. I spotted this little coffee shop in Carson City, stopped and asked. The DID have it. And this young lady actually made me a RAW fruit smoothie that was deeeeelicious! She's also a singer in a rock band. A interesting little shop. Spotlessly clean, and the bathrooms were large and well decorated. Original metal stamped ceiling and lots of antiques too. A fun place, but I've been in here over an hour, and want to get back to the rally before I miss something good. I may come back later to post to pictures from our ride to Virginia City this morning.
