The cherries are so good! The day was fantastic and fun! Great roads, weather, people, cars and lots of laughter! Thanks Bob and Robyn for another great fun run. Many more miles of smiles!

Well today was absoutely Super! And it certainly helped that the Laker Won! (glad I got my chores done before half time!)

So far today I think I ingested at least a pound of cherries. The ride thru the mountains to and from was in some of the most beautiful Country I've seen since Maui, and the people were extra great.

Thanks bob for putting this one together, it was your usual "10"!

Ok, now, lets start planning what is next!

!0's are easy when I get input from the attendees as to events of interest. This was your input for this event.

I am in the process of up loading pics and movies.

Great day , no unwanted attention for the CHP and it has been such a long awaited time for that road to reopen. More roads to visit.

Memorial severices to be held in a new thread.

Some of us met up for breakfast at Hill Street Cafe.



We then headed for the cherry orchards by way of route 2 and the Palmdale cuttoff. There was clouds being pushed from the beach inland.







Zpilot got a tire warning so we stopped in Palmdale to check. Safe than sorry. No issue found, so on to the orchard.



Some pics of the group in the orchard.



















The ever present cherry police.



Actually they were there to move ladders for us.

There were some offenders caught. They said they wanted to make sure the cherries were ripe.



Lots of evidence here.

Back to Palmdale for lunch.





Then the road that had been closed for 2 1/2 years.




There was still some snow in the mountains.


Back on the road.

I knew I was gonna miss out something, but I wasn't feeling well the night before so I had to cancel... Meanwhile we bought another Z3 to add to the collection...





On a different topic, on Saturday Rick and Bob are coming over to my place to replace Rick's shock mounts. If anyone wanna stop by is more than welcome...

ehehehe... Is that your race car in your avatar? If I would see that in my rear view mirror I would pull over right away... ehehehe

Anyway, she's undergoing some TLC now, and hopefully she'll be back on the road soon...

[Z3racer59]

Yes it is. Unfortunetly, I dismantled the front end again before I got a picture with the headlights in place. I've copied the Curtis P-40 Kittyhawk nose..

[summereskimo]

Looks like fun times as usual.

ZetaTre,

Congrats on the car. Now you need a place with a four car garage.
