Never been to RIVERROD, so I can’t say much about it’s history. 2021 was the 2nd annual event, so I haven’t missed as many earlier shows as I have other events, where I usually rolled in at least 5 late. Even being only the 2nd year, it was an awesome event, despite the cool rainy start of the day.
We didn’t know what to expect, Daughter Tiffnie Schindler Gonzales, Sweet Heart Christine Terry, and myself, but we went with great expectations.
We were not disappointed.
Since this was my first time attending, and that attending the event was an extension of a kayaking get away for the three of us, I didn’t bring “Double S,” my 1965 Impala Super Sport. I’m definitely planning to do so, next year.
So, what was the event like?
Well, it was not much different than most events, other than it was located right next to the Gruene River, at Rockin R River Rides, in Gruene Texas. Rockin R River Rides, is a tubing facility, that despite Covid, was open to hosting the event.
There was the usual, music, crowd, food, beverages, and of course, Vehicles.
I won’t bore you with much more prose, but will close in saying that the turn out of vehicles was great, and I do plan to be back.
So, when I go to shows, I expect to see great vehicles, because that’s what it’s about. Along with that, I get to meet some great folks, such as Richard Dupree. We passed and, for some reason, struck up a conversation. He’s a gearhead, so we hit it off.
