Wolf Seuling arranged a putt for us to have breakfast at the Horseshoe Cafe in Wickenburg followed by a guided tour of the Desert Western Caballero Museum. After this there was a short drive out to the Flying E Ranch for an early steak dinner. After a short tour of the ranch we sat down to salad, steak, baked potato, corn and beans as well as a bun. It was an excellent meal! Thanks Wolf for setting this up!

The March Putt took us to the beautiful home of Paul & Judy Nolte for a pot luck lunch with the pulled pork being provided by our hosts. There was so much wonderful food from appetizers and salads to amazing deserts. Paul has a fabulous shop with a bunch of cars inside.

February’s Breakfast Putt took us to Charley’s Place in Glendale, 19 hot rods and 41 guys and gals attended. A little over an hour saw plenty of conversation, food and fellowship. Its great to see this group function with their cars, food & stories. A few found their way to Martin’s Auto Museum, over one hundred unique and interesting vehicles of all kinds. A very nice way to spend a morning.

Early Friday morning Feb 3rd.
Ron Olmstead, Larry way, Val Muyres, Steve Besore and myself headed out for Pomona and the GNRS. This year our rides were Val’s 40 and Ron’s 35, Steve’s 32 all Fords. Nonmember but good buddy Chip and his co-pilot Judy went with us in the Model A P-up. By the time we got on road out of town I think Val had already burnt a tank of gas. Long way from Sun Lakes to meet with us. Lunch at Cheriako summit (SP) , Then on in to San Dimas.
We checked in our hotel, and then supper at the Roady House restaurant a few doors down from the Early Ford store.
GNRS never disappoints, whatever your hot rod/custom interest, it’s there! And it’s there in multiples and every color combo possible. Vintage builds and new builds some exotic some retro and all perfect. AMBR cars to drivers of every flavor it’s just boggling!
Interesting that some former AMBR cars show up being driven to the event! Love that. Each of the building are a different venue, hard to pick a favorite.
Then there’s about 800-1000 cars outside on Saturday the “big daddy drive in’s”.
Just a spectacular event!
We spotted Terry Scotts x-roadster there, took a photo and talked to new owner (sorry Terry doesn’t sound like you could get it back)
Got some rain in sunny California before stopping for breakfast. Steve’s getting the full Roadster road trip experience.
Other than a nagging valve cover oil leak in the 35, and a dead battery in the 32 we had a reasonable trouble free run to and from.
Ya shoulda been there!

January’s Breakfast Putt took us to Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q for something different. They have a breakfast menu to create your own wraps or you could order items off the main menu. We had 30 members join in for good food and good company.

After a 2 year Covid pause, the annual “Ron & John’s New Year’s Day breakfast cruise” resumed on January 1, 2023.
This year we tried a new venue…Kimmiz’ Bar and Grill in Glendale. The staff went out of their way to make sure the nearly 90 folks in attendance were treated to a tasty and hot buffet breakfast. If anyone left hungry it was their own fault!
Because of the rainy weather there was only one lonely street rod in the parking lot. Most were too smart to drive in the rain. It was a great time to kick off the new year and we hope to use this venue again.
Cohost John Logsten (sp) gathered a bunch of swag and had a goodie bag for every one. Thanks John, very thoughtful.
John and Ron thank everybody who attended. It makes all the work putting this together a pleasure.

Back in March 2022, the club voted that the Ronald McDonald House Phoenix would be our charity that we would raise funds for this year. So at our Christmas party we did a silent auction with over 40 items to bid on. The party team worked for months getting donations from restaurants, museums, zoos, and many other items. I am so proud to say that this club really shined and was so generous! A total of $2600 was raised for RMH!
They were so appreciative for this great donation! The RMH Phoenix has three facilities in the Phoenix area, and they are affiliated with several hospitals. The houses provide free lodging and meals for families that have children in the hospitals. The are a respite for these families at a very difficult time in their life. The RMH operates totally on donations. My family has been one of the families that they have helped and I can tell you 1st hand just how wonderful the RMH foundation is. Thank you ALL for your generosity and support.

On December 15 the club delivered all the toys that were collected along with Brian and his group at Vintage Parts (previously So-Cal). Just like we have done in the past several years we collected these for the Children’s Rehabilitative Services. It is an out patient clinic. This year we delivered the toys directly to the clinic along with Vintage Parts. We were able to tour the clinic and learn more about what they do. The following week on 12/22 they had the Christmas party for all the patient’s and their families. It was then that all the kids (even siblings of patients) received toys and also free books. Debbie and Art Thomas and Dawn Yex had so much fun being elves and helping at the party by handing out free books to the children. It was so heartwarming and humbling to share in this day. Thanks again to the club for their generosity! I’m proud to be a part of this club.

The OTHG Christmas party was held at The American Legion Hall in Scottsdale. We had about 45 people in attendance. We all had a fantastic time celebrating together with good food, great music and dancing, and also watching and bidding on our silent auction items. Lots of laughter and smiles for sure…..

The club had a good turnout at GoodGuys this fall, 15 cars were parked together as well as a few scattered throughout the show field. The weather was great all weekend!
