Great weekend as usual and the weather even co-operated! We made it down to the coast by 11:30 and the temperature dropped to 62.

Thanks to Joe and Juanita as well as Cornelius for leading a fun ride.

See you next year.

I got in at about 8:30am.  No performance awards either.

Glad everyone had a great time.  By the way Tony enjoyed riding with us on Friday.  We'll see him again I'm sure.

Home safe.  Thanks once again to Joe and Juanita, and to Mr Duck and Cornelis for making this another great get-together.

No rain or heated gear needed???  What was up with that?  

I shot home the boring/direct route arriving yesterday about 3:30 local time.    1600 miles total.  

 

Good time all around.  Thanks Joe.

Home at 1pm and only saw 102 F briefly. Also saw thousands of Hawgs coming back from Laughlin Poser-fest on I40. CHP was letting us run. Thx to Joe and Juanita: hostus superbas. Still grieving for the D Donkey. Be back next year.

Ok, a few more pics.  The iMac made it thru surgery, and my data backup was successful.  My ssd is now 4x bigger.

I split off from the fellers and headed E on 180 to get to 198.  It was my first time on it, and I was impressed.

It was 78 degrees in Hunter Leggett, but 58 on the coast, with clouds most of the way down.  Ugh.

I'll try to do some Weaverville pics tomorrow.
