Santa Clara Valley Model T Ford Club

November 14, 2009: Thirteen cars (5 T’s, 4 A’s, one ’28 Chevy, 3 moderns) and 25 people showed up at Rancho Shopping Center in Los Altos for the poker run. Remember it got postponed from earlier in the year because of rain? Do poker runs have some effect on the weather? Should we be sharing this information or renting out our T’s to drought stricken areas? Well, anyway, this time it was overcast and looked a little threatening, and eventually did some drizzling on us, but the group took it in stride, these Model T folk are tough.

Our route looped us around through Sunnyvale, Cupertino and Los Altos. We collected our cards at various stops along the way and ended up at Meneelys for soup, sandwiches and dessert. It
must be mentioned that at least one car tried to disguise themselves and drive through a card stop twice, thus garnering better cards, but our alert dealers were on to this gambit. Mary Beaman did a great job setting this tour up, good route, good prizes, even candy along with your cards. It was mentioned that no ice cream was found, but,,,,, that just means double ice cream next time. I’m in for that.
