Urban Rally/Carson City, NV

Sawyer Finn Yee and I are driving/towing Abella Airstream to Carson City for the first ever (in Carson) Urban Rally. Carson City is rolling out the carpet for some 25+ Airstreams to park right on Carson Street for the weekend. Activities planned are as follows: wine walk, ghost tour, air show, concert in the park, a tour of Victoria homes and much more. **Note the photo is not the Urban Rally in Carson but a rally from last year. I will take current photos but wanted you to see what I am talking about.

FRIDAY:  2:00 to 4:00-Arrival and staging to park.  I have assigned everyone a parking spot.  There will be 22 rigs on the street and 10 right next to it.  The next email will have times for you to arrive and addresses.

4:30- Hosted Happy Hour by the Lake Tahoe Airstream Club.  Bring your own glass and chair. There will be food, wine, beer, soft drinks and water.  Make sure that you do not carry alcohol off the parking lot.  The lot is private property but when you leave it you are on City property and we don’t have a license for that.

5:15 – Guitar and vocal CONCERT with Hallie Kirk.  Some good tunes while we enjoy and meet one another

.

6:30 and onward – Dinner on your own or hang around the Happy Hour area.  There are some great restaurants nearby.

SATURDAY:  Breakfast on your own.  The Nugget Casino has the Allate Coffee Bar and Coffee shop.  Mom & Pops has a great breakfast.  The best is the L.A. Bakery. There will be maps in your welcome bag.

10:00 to noon – Open House at your trailer.  The community is looking forward to this.  I know we can count on you to show off your rig.

LUNCH on your own. 

1:00 to 5:00 WINE WALK.  This will be $10 per person with your own glass or $15 with theirs. We will tell you where to buy tickets.  You will be able to take advantage of 30 pouring places if you are still standing.  They have the license for this.

10:00 to 5:00 both Saturday and Sunday.  The Minden Roundup AIRSHOW will take place about 10 miles south of downtown.  This is going to be really cool as the Air Force Falcons (like the Blue Angels), will be performing along with acts from the Navy, Army and the Canadian Air Force.  There are two ways to view this.

CHOICE A.  Park about a mile away, pay $20 apiece, ride a shuttle from a remote parking lot and watch the show.

CHOICE B.  Car Pool or drive to LTAC members Jack and Kathy Hampel’s house and watch the show from their back yard for FREE.  You can also munch on the left overs from the previous night’s Happy Hour. 

DINNER: On your own.

5:30 to 7:00 Ghost Walk and Blue Line tour of the Victorian homes in Carson City.  I will need an email RSVP for this one.  It is FREE and an easy walk from where you are parked.

6:00 to 8:30 -V&T Melodrama Railroad Train (cost $75)

7:00 to 9:00 – Hosted Blue Grass CONCERT from the Carson City Visitor’s Bureau.   The “Little Big Band” will perform at the McFadden Square outdoor stage (20 feet from an ice cream parlor).

SUNDAY:  BREAKFAST on your own.  The local Elks Lodge will be serving breakfast & Bloody Mary’s from 8:00 to 11:00.  You don’t have to be a member to go.  Easy walk again.

9:00- Car Pool up King St. for a hike to the Carson City Water Fall.  It is less than a mile round trip.  I need an RSVP on this one also. 

NOON to 2:00 – Hook up and get on down the road.
