It's Fri. afternoon and raining like hell. My partner and his son (my god son) are on their way down from Oxnard, we're still going, short of a snow storm.


[align=left][/align]
I left home for Yuma really early, around 7:30am, and stayed ahead of the rain. Got to Yuma around 12:00pm, and hung out at the HD dealer. Then checked into my hotel. And am now here checking e-mail. I'll be registering at the fairgrounds soon.

Hopefully I will see ya there. I am planning on leaving tomorrow morning. My partners are running a little scared/worried. I keep telling them we only need to get across the mountain and the weather will clear.
I keep telling them we will encounter less wind and weather if we take the back route to Jacumba, but then we encounter lots of turns.

I rode with Grumpy Irish Again from El Centro to Yuma, and then rode back with him from Yuma to Ocotillo. Ended up meeting some other friends of mine in Ocotillo, and rode the rest of the way back with them.

Hey Stellis this is funny. You actually have a picture of my back standing in the line for the barbecue. White sleeveless with Sweetwater Harley logo.

Did you guys stay for the dance Saturday night?
We went back to our place and sat by the fire.

I was a little disappointed in the vendor participation

After the mandatory bar hopping, eight of us got to the fairgrounds about 7:00 pm, just in time for the sand storm. We went to dinner and got done just in time for the rain. The rest of the weekend was great. Ran into Stelis and a bunch of other folks. We left Sun. just in time to catch the 50 mph cross winds all the way back to Pioneertown. Great times!!!! We'll be there next year!
