The 2011 VW Thing Rallye rolled into The Rankin on Saturday afternoon, July 17. What a rainbow of colors as the fun cars pulled into our driveway! It took a few minutes to get everyone checked-in and settled into their rooms and cabins, but then the fun began! The grills were ready, picnic tables in place, and the the volleyball net set up. The fire pit had coals just ready for toasting marshmallows and making s’mores. We enjoyed visiting with everyone and making sure they had a relaxing evening after their long day of driving. When I asked if I could take a few pictures of the cars in front of the rooms and cabins, they were so gracious and offered to line them up anywhere I wanted them for a morning photo shoot before they left in the morning!
So, EARLY Sunday morning everyone was up and ready to start their trek to Yellowstone. Robert and I were up and ready to get a few pictures of the group as they lined up for take off. The slide show gives you an idea of the excitement, the noise and controlled chaos. I’ve never seen a more organized group of travelers who enjoyed each other’s company more. We wished them well and watched them head north to Yellowstone country in the cool morning air.
The rest of the day was very quiet and I contemplated the gifts of friendship we are so fortunate to nurture with our business. We hope to see you soon! Travel Safely!
