Idaho Brit Car Club Summer tour 2011-McCall, ID

This year our tour took us to McCall, as pleasant a mountain town as there is, located on the banks of Payette Lake.  Meg, Cindy and I joined up with the caravan in Horseshoe Bend, we had to go to the passport office in Emmett to get Meg's application on its way. 
Cindy and Meg accomplish the passport application.

Once we were together the drive was uneventful, it twist along the North Fork of the Payette from Banks almost to Cascade, ID.  We congregated for lunch at the Jug Mountain Ranch clubhouse, a beautiful setting with a view over the surrounding golf course and houses. 
On the patio for lunch and entertainment by golfers flailing away below us.

We then meandered into McCall and checked into the Western Mountain Motel, it was nice with wash hoses and a good breakfast room.  Our cars brightened up the lot considerably.  There was an exceptional turnout this year as many cars from various Washington clubs joined in.  We had two beautiful Jaguar saloons, made on the same day and a Triumph Herald.  We also had our clubs own Daimler convertible and an assortment of fine British iron.  There were about 65 cars all together.  Our meals and social gatherings were lots of fun.  We had a tour of a fine wooden boat restoration shop on Saturday and a drive up Warren Wagon Road to the high country north of McCall along the west side of Payette Lake.
We shopped in McCall on Friday afternoon

My Magnette and a Triumph Reknown, two rare but not valuable cars.

Meg in a rare and fairly valuable Daimler.  Picked best in show.

Jaguar saloons, queens of the road.


On Sunday we zipped home early so I could teach Sunday School.  A great weekend jaunt.
