Dear Jardineros Members,
You’re invited to participate in our History Mystery Road Rally on Thursday, June 19.
We will be following in the footsteps – or driving lanes – of earlier fun-loving Jardineros members as we celebrate our organization’s 60th anniversary with a road rally winding through Placitas, Algodones and Bernalillo.
Participants should check in at the Placitas Community Library parking lot at 10-10:30 a.m. on June 19 – look for Jim and Marilyn Levandoski’s bright yellow roadster – to receive your clues and directions for our History Mystery Road Rally.
When teams have completed as many rally points as they wish, they should then check back in at the library no later than 1 p.m. so that we can determine our 2025 rally winners.
We’ll conclude this Trippers interest group-sponsored event with an optional get-together/lunch on the second-floor level at Bosque Brewery on Highway 550 in Bernalillo.
Teams of 2-6 to a vehicle – including a safety-conscious driver and a navigator/cellphone photographer -- are encouraged.
Prizes will be given for several categories at the judges’ discretion to those teams that locate and photograph the correct History Mystery Road Rally sites. Anyone driving a Little Deuce Coupe or a white convertible T-Bird will receive bonus points.
In addition, costumes for participants are not required, but if you would like to “cosplay,” there will be costume prizes. Car driver/rider costumes may represent any 20th Century decade, including the Flower Power 1960s when Jardineros was founded.
Good walking shoes should be worn by the cellphone photographers who will need to exit their cars and do just a little bit of walking to take photos at some of the rally points.
We urge all participants to be mindful of safe driving (including everyone wearing seatbelts) and good road etiquette. Feel free to buzz the Bernalillo Sonic or stop there for a chocolate malt or cherry limeade.
If you’re interested in participating, please send us your team name and members. And if you don’t have a team and would like to join up with others, please let us know.
Also, let us know if you think you would like to join us at Bosque Brewery after the rally finish so that we will have an accurate count to reserve tables.
Please send your positive RSVPs for participating in the History Mystery Road Rally on June 19 to one of us:
