the camp
The view from the road: latecomers knew they were in the right place!

Campsites had water and electricity.

Vintage vehicles added color.

The trailers shone in the morning sun...

...and by the last light of evening.

Some people went for the perfect shine...

... Others polished just enough to make a statement.
happy hour
There was opportunity for making new acquaintances...
Happy hour
...socializing...

...swapping stories...

...and relaxing.
Polishing
Back by popular demand, the polishing demonstration.
Media crew
Cathy and Stan field some media attention.

...and midday sun on the Russian River.

Volunteers
...and the volunteers are standing by.

The guests enjoy some conversation before supper.

The wine flowed freely.

Everyone thanked our hosts for a wonderful time.

Yes, Lorin and Tom did get a chance to eat.

Sunday morning sunlight meant breaking camp...

...and getting back to the "real world."
