    Well, we did do our annual Ride this year, but I have been having trouble with the computer and pics. Well, actually we lost the camera in the truck for awhile. Ha,Ha. Sorry a little late. While the winos are sleeping it off, the boys and I do a quick ride New Year's Day. We have gone to Santa Fe Plaza every year as part of that...tourists up there love it. This year we actually did not know if we were going to do it....Stormy weather, but there was no foot of snow as the tv was reporting. We have fun doing this ride each year.

    One of these fotos is what the trucks looked like a couple of months before our ride. My truck had been in original(it had been that was so long) primer gray. The trip is done at about 50 miles an hour because of my truck. The boys do not like that but I have had that truck longer then they have been around. Enjoy.

    No traffic in the mountains , the help at whatever place we stopped for breakfast at, were always glad to have some Customers.....

    Good times .

    Gah !

    Not again ! .

    FWIW , if you click on it once to enlarge it , it gets bigger , click again and it turns right side up .

    Taken in......way the heck South & East of Los Angeles Desert , I know exactly how to get there but won't remember the name until I log off....

    I didn't understand how to properly hold the iPod thing I'd found so many of my older pix are inverted or worse...

    I go in and edit them to show correctly , a few days later they're back up side down again :mad: .

    Screw it .

    Nice pic though , non ? .

    BORREGO SPRINGS , Ca.

    An old farming town , terrific place to vacation as long as you can handle the heat (or have AC !) .

    This old fire truck is actually up the hill a bit , long abandoned in a field across the street from the local Fire Dept. .
