After seeing the posts by MR. Deckman. Toni and I thought we needed to see the work in progress and also feeling sorry for not offering aid to a fellow chipper: who just lives down the road 5 hours away. We felt compelled to offer a cold one to this person who was toiling away in sweltering in heat.

So diverting our travel plans ( a 19 Casino Indian Chip Run ) we headed to Reno.

As we approached we were greeted not by the sweat drenching HEAT of the Nevada Desert, but by SNOW...

We all have seen his work at doctoring photo's, so adding a bright Sun to his pictures would be a little challenge.

Undaunted, we contacted Mr Deckman and after a pleasant meeting, he presented Toni with a Real Nevada Rock from his own back yard (but thats a another story).
