Low and slow

Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Hey Emmit, you sure live in a pretty area. I would like to have stopped and seen all the BCP bros as we did the loop. Unfortunately the buddies I was with are not retired and were on a tight schedule, and that did not provide time for me to hang with airplane friends. Ya never know, next time I fly buy we might do coffee or what ever if your free.

Cheers...Rob

Hi Dave, 6 flags was sweet! We bought the platinum pass, do you know that takes you right to the head of the line. You go in the exit. Then ride 2 times. Did that till I was half sick, took a break and did it again. Finally the 105* and coasters won. I did all of the big coasters except 2. Party till you puke. I didn't blow but I would have if I didn't stop.

Then we (I) drove out here to Palm Desert and sat in the pool and hot tub till mid night having adult beverages. Well I went to bed at 12 the 21 year olds kept going. LOL I am up now and they are sleeping. Wimps.

It is smoking hot. I think the over night low here was 80*

Later this week could work for a rondevu, if you have time. Our plan is to be back here Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Head back north Saturday around 1.

If it is to hot at the dunes (I think 112* is) we may drive back after we ride each day. Ride 0630-I can't take anymore heat.

Cheers...Rob

I see. I drove past Dumont Dunes the weekend before last and didn't see a single person there. Must of been too hot for the normal crowd. You could have had them dunes to your self that weekend.
