Recap Lake Perris Campout March 29-30

With a cool morning we took off for the Trolley Museum and Perris Lake with 6 flivvers and one yellow 27 Chevy. All enjoyed a nice lunch in the park at the Perris Trolley Museum.

After a number of photo ops we headed across the valley and up to Perris Lake Campground. We were amazed by at least 100 Teardrop camping trailers and their super tow vehicles in the camp loop within a short walk from our campsites. Nick and Tracy Asplund joined us at the lake with their 1919 Express Wagon. It was sure nice to see new members Sherrie and Rick Stanton also join us with their 1916 T Oak-bed pickup.

Thanks to Jean Knowles for getting this tour underway. No serious car problems were had and thank you Garrett for all the tinker tips and coil seminar by the campfire. It was fun to have the Seiler kids and even little Carter Diaz de Leon seemed to have a good time. Thank you Nick and Tracy for the snacks and Sherrie for the margueritas. You missed out if you did not get a bowl of super chili cooked up by zesty Chuck Harrison.

We returned home on Victoria Avenue in Riverside where the trees and flowers were in full bloom. We hope a good time was had by all.
