We lounged in this morning, had a nice breakfast in the HH, then caught the shuttle down to the Riverside Hotel and Casino parking lot. There in the lot is a Hot Rod, Custom, and Classic Car Show... and there are plenty of examples of each on display - about 100 cars, a dozen accessory booths, and plenty of people taking it all in.
One of the first vehicles that caught our eyes was a custom Nissan 280Z... but something was very different about it; we found out that the owner custom built the car in steel. Gull-wing type doors; there was nothing stock or original about this car. We saw flames galore, lots of custom paint, some beautifully fabricated hot rods, old classics, trucks, cars, motorcycles, and one kit-car that started life as a 1994 Thunderbird but was made to look like a chopped ’50 Ford.
They had a perfect day for this, with sunshine, no wind, and pleasant temps.
After a couple hours of taking that all in, we walked up the “Strip” (not quite the same as the Strip in Vegas) for lunch. Then more walking to the Outlet Mall, down to the river to spend some time (and money) in a casino, a walk along the river back to the Riverside, then caught the shuttle back to our site. My feet are just about worn out.
