Nevada Short Tour

A Short tour is a tour of one or two gigs lasting a week or less. We are heading out to Fallon, NV for the Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe Festival. it is our 2nd year. It sure was fun last year so we are really looking forward to it this year. The small trailer (the one which had the broken axle at the start of the Eastern Tour) is back in service with a new stronger axle. Turned out the spring had broke and that led to the trailer smashing onto the old axle bending it. All is new now and it's all loaded up. With Jim off to college the Miles and Princess Cynthia had to learn the hard way how to balance load a trailer...they had to unload it then reload it to get it right.
The trip is only about 4 hours so as far as driving goes it's an easy gig. The weather promises to be 15-20 less than home (tomorrow should be 106 degrees here at home base).
Princess Amelia lost her first tooth today so she will look like a hockey player for this gig. A very cute Hockey Player.
Pictures and stories from the road start tomorrow.
