Carson City Details
(7/9/08)
The Sierra Nevada Chapter is also going out of their way for the 48 in 08 tour participants. On Friday, around 4:00 p.m.
we will have our photo op at the Capitol Complex. Afterwards, they have reserved a private room at Glen Eagle's restaurant for
dinner.
Accessing Capitol Grounds
(7/9/08)
For those who are unaware, many of the Capitols require special permits to enter Capitol grounds, including our
photo ops. It is not easy to make your way through the red tape, or even find the right department to issue the permit. In
many cases, the tour organizers have not been able to obtain permits for a number of reasons - including bonds and event liability
insurance.
The Sacramento and Sierra Nevada Chapters have obtained permits for the 48 in 08 tour. A few other Chapters
are working on this aspect of the tour.
Carson City requires each of our Thunderbirds have a metal drip pan under it when parked on Capitol grounds. The Sierra
Nevada Chapter will provide drip pans for at least 10 T-Birds. Thank you! Without the drip pans, even with a permit,
our T-Birds would not be allowed on Capitol grounds.
The tour participants will be forever grateful to all of the CTCI Chapters who have assisted in making arrangements for
photos of our T-Birds with the Capitol buildings in the background.
Party Time in Erick
(7/1/08)
Doc checked with Annabelle and Harley, the owners of the Sandhills Curiosity Shop in Erick, OK, and they're rolling out
the red carpet (well, signs and flags) for the 48 in 08 tour participants! A good time will be had by all on Friday, September
19, in this quaint ol' Route 66 town.
