The latest southwest region rally took place 8 – 12 September 2010 on the beautiful western shores of Lake Tahoe at the General Creek Campground within the Sugar Pine Point State Park with 11 coaches and 22 people attending.

Upon returning to shore, we all went to the River Grill restaurant located right on the Truckee River for heavy hors d’oeuvres featuring pork dumplings, calamari, shrimp, mini burgers and more. Our day ended with another night around the bonfire and more stories and tales.
