California Dreaming | A Reality Finally !
« on: May 05, 2009, 05:43:27 PM »
It all started back in June 2006 when some of NorCal Krewe made the journey to the East Coast to take a trip cross country.  I was invited, I think or perhaps I worked my way in, to take the journey with them.  While I could not perform the entire journey I did make it to the event of 2006 in Cripple Creek, CO.

During the journey I was able to make some new friends quick…JCZ, ak and Jonga became part of my family instantly and I knew I wanted to spend more time with these folks.  While in Cripple Creek I was blessed to add more members of my family…erniezap, mr_magoo, Iselbulls, King Salmon, and so many more.

After this great experience I knew I had to get out to their back yard and experience what they were talking about during this event.  It took me longer than expected but it finally occurred!  If I was forced to express my experience in one word that word would be WOW!

I can not begin to express my thanks and gratitude to the many that did so much and each of you know who you are.  I was blown away and you should know that words can not express my thoughts and this could not have occurred at a better time in my life.

My first journey was to the Bay Area.  The weather was not quit what I expected and I was blessed in the fact that ak allowed me to borrow a fleece that Brandon wore which made it really special.  I had packed long sleeve shirts and an Under Armor shirt but that was not enough for the wimp!

We hooked up with Hotrodstitcher, a dude with a really cool gig, and headed towards the Bay Area.  All is good in the world.

So have you heard of the term “Twin Peaks”…



No, No, No…Not that one…I am referring to San Francisco “Twin Peaks”…Well this is it…As for me I would have never known this place existed.  What a view of San Francisco!  Some fog in the area too.

The Cliff House is a restaurant perched on the headlands on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach on the western side of San Francisco, California. It overlooks the site of the former Sutro Baths and a room-sized camera obscura and is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, operated by the National Park Service.

Lombard Street is in San Francisco, California. It is famous for having a steep, one-block section that consists of tight hairpin turns.  You would have thought that we were Rock Stars when we arrived here to ride down the street…Everyone taking photos…

Alcatraz Island, commonly referred to as simply Alcatraz or locally as The Rock, is a small island located in the middle of San Francisco Bay in California, United States. It served as a lighthouse, then a military fortification, then a military prison followed by a federal prison until 1963. It became a national recreation area in 1972 and received landmarking designations in 1976 and 1986.
