PAST EVENTS:
Our first outing of 2013 was April 28th when we joined the Hyalite club at the Cardwell gas station around 11:00 a.m. TSC had nine cars & 16 people, while Bozeman had seven cars & 14 people. The 30 of us then went on to Butte and the Metals Bar & Grill for lunch where we were met by a Butte couple. Following lunch, we drove to Philipsburg for a stop for dessert & shopping. A nice day for a drive that early in the season.
