Paula and I are riding in Northern Ca. For a week and ending up in Hilmar for Don's 65th Birthday party. We are in Angels camp on the 49er trail and headed to Redding to meet the Roosters.
We met up with Don and Soozie to ride his new bike to Angels Camp and found Trapperdog.

WooHoo!!!! Excited to be meeting up with friends, and ending up at old fart Don's birthday party.

Redding CA....where it is hotter then heck.., where the police like to welcome you to CA coming off the hill, where the Oregonians sit in their cars (been there done that) waiting for someone to pump the gas

This weekend is the better weekend to do that. I was in Reno last weekend & they had their Spring Street Vibrations. Seems like I'm always at mom's when they have that going on

The streets were very, very busy & the largest turn out they had for this one since it started a few years ago. Enjoy & be safe

The girl on the right one of Soozie's daughter Tawnee I think was pushing Fireball Whiskey shots all night. All three of her daughters did a fine job trying to keep Soozie from working the party instead of enjoying it. Took us awhile to find Hilmar but when we did it was a great time and so nice to see everyone. Thanks to all we really had a great time and the food was great as well. To bad we didn't have time to ride with Don on his new bike. Well another time. Thanks again to all including our wonderful traveling partners Marty and Paula.
