Model T National Tour in Spokane - 2021 - Day 8

 Day 8, July 14, 2021.  25 miles.  Interesting start to the day.   I was walking to the parking lot when I heard, "look out, they have guns drawn!"  Turns out the cops had pursued a car into the Quest area and they were pointing guns at this car.   They called 3 people out of the car, one at a time, facing away, arms raised high, down on their knees and cuffed.


Don't know what the problem was, but the T activity just kind of flowed around the cop activity.

Today was our final touring day and we went down to Riverside Park in downtown Spokane.  Not an amusement park, it is just a nice park to spend time in.  They have lots of neat things to look at and do.   All the T's were allowed to drive in and park on the grass.


Great place for kids, even big kids,,,,



And little kids,,,,


Have ;you ever tried a lime scooter/      Put it on your bucket list....


This evening was the final banquet,  nice buffet.  


And somehow, Pat and I got a major award,,,,,,   Ed was the presenter talking about the Rosenthal Award,  and it finally dawned on us that he was actually talking about Pat and Bob when he mentioned that this pushy lady got her husband involved in an autoshop class,   among other things..... Never expected to be up there on the platform.. but there we are.....




Wow, what a day, what a night.  And thanks to all the folks who wrote us in for the award, you are too kind.
