Editor’s Notes
I need to make a correction to last month’s newsletter. I mistakenly said that Alvin and Ken made the camping arrangements for July. It seems that it was Dave Feagler and not Alvin that worked with Ken . My Bad – My apologies to both of you.
Our August campout/meeting will be Aug 20, 21 and 22 at AB Camping in Cheyenne, WY. Tom and Dot Walsh will host a carry in at 12:00 noon with our monthly meeting following at 1:00pm. Wagon master Alvin Banghart will lead a caravan over there on Friday morning. The caravan will depart from the old Sun Mart in Gering at 9:00am. I have attached directions from Gering with two routes. One is through Kimball and the other is through LaGrange, WY. There will be a Friday night dinner at the campground and a lot of people want to go to it. Please call Alvin and let him know if you will be at the campout and also the Friday night dinner.
We had our July highway cleanup on Saturday July 24th and I had the honor of Filling in for Cindy as the leader of the pack. We had the usual turn out and there was quite a large amount of trash. I assume it was from Oregon Trail Days because of the types of beverage containers we found. What has me upset with the whole picture is that we have the same people turning out for this every month. I understand that there are health issues with some members, however there are able bodied people in this chapter that need to step up and get out there and help. Cindy Banghart works hard to keep the highway clean up going and she needs your help. We need to see some fresh new faces out there on Saturday morning.
Some of our members are upset with Tom and Dorothy Walsh’s decision to have a Carry in Dinner
August 2010 Newsletter
at the campground at noon. I know some of us wanted to go to The Country Buffet for Supper and have the meeting at the restaurant. But the way I understand it the Hosts are responsible for deciding where and what time we have the meal and meeting. What is the big deal? They made their decision. Now live with it. You are acting like a bunch of spoiled brats.
As most of you know the Vances will not be re-newing our membership in Wagon Wheel Sams at the end of the year. That will leave the newsletter Editor’s position open. If you are interested in becoming the newsletter Editor, please contact Ken or the incoming President.
Campout/Meeting
Although we had 14 Rigs answer roll call we only had 7 at the campout. It is just as well because we suffered from severe electrical shortage. We all got through it and had a lot of fun. We had over stocked the ‘fridge with food and except for milk on my Cheerios and a glass of OJ it was all there when we got home. Friday night was supper at Grampa Chuy’s and since we no longer have a Burger King in Scottsbluff we headed over there on Saturday night. Friday night Harry and Charlene Case drove in pulling their brand new camping trailer. They picked it up in Casper and drove straight to Torrington. Congratulations to the Case family. Most of the week end was spent trying to find some shade and relaxing with friends.
The July 17th meeting was called to order at 1:10 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance and Flag Salute.

Roll call was read with 14 rigs represented.
