End of Tour - ST. Paul, Ne

The end of the 2003 tour was in St. Paul at the Club House of the Royal Coachmen Car Club.  The club sponsored the lunch and gave the tour members a guided tour of their club house.  Not many car clubs have a club house of their own and they are deservedly proud of it.

  

Unfortunately, I missed out on the good food and the tour of the clubhouse in St. Paul.  When we reached Columbus the skies became rather ominous looking and I had visions of Maych getting pounding by a hail storm.  So, rather than continue on the tour to St. Paul, we headed south on Highway 30 back to Grand Island.  As it turned out, that was a bad decision.  The storm never materialized.  The decision to skip the stop in St. Paul also disappointed my Daughter and Grandson.  Unbeknown to us, they had decided to travel to St. Paul that morning, watch us roll into town and then have lunch with us.  My Grandson was also planning to ride back to Grand Island in Maych.  I decided that next year I wouldn't deviate from the tour.  Other than this screw-up, we had a very enjoyable time, met some new friends, and saw a lot of the State we had never seen before.  I'll definitely be going on Tour Nebrasksa 2004.
