October 2006 – The Orchard (6)

Diane Leipper

Our site unseen choice for the October rally turned out great. It was across the road from Buckland Station on the old ranch property owned by the State of Nevada and part of Ft. Churchill State Park. We were parked near a new picnic area developed in an old apple orchard. It was right near the Carson River. By Friday we had five Airstreams parked under the trees. We also had some guests. Susan, a guest of Kimber's, Diane and Bryan's cousin, Karen from San Diego, and also their friend Gene from Reno. Roger and Jan Jeppson came out for a visit on Friday. Tim, who had to work this weekend did manage to get out for a visit on Saturday night. Our newest members, the Curtis's didn't waste any time putting many of the suggestions and ideas they got at the Lahonton Rally into effect. Since last month they have installed solar panels, gotten an outdoor rug, got a shell on their truck, and most important, they got their obligatory pink flamingo. They found a really neat one in Walker after a camping trip in the Bridgeport area. The weather for the rally was fantastic. Warm sunny days and cool nights. The rangers brought some barrels for us to use for a campfire and we cleaned up a lot of weeds and brush in the area to use as fuel. A highlight of this rally was a tour of Buckland Station historic site. This building is undergoing extensive renovation. At this time only the first floor is close to being finished. Once the entire structure is refurbished and furnishings installed it will be open to the public. Other rally activities included our usual pot lucks, catching up on The Thornburgs and the Curtis's remodeling projects, sharing information and ideas, and of course just relaxing around the campfire. A good time was had by all and I think the general opinion is that we should keep this site on our list of potential rally sites in the future.
