Even in the dark, The Range of Light stays on your face when you get home.

New Old Stuff...but fun!

I was at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, the ONLY proof of me there, the great Colorado River, February, 1980, the photo is evening and overcast, probably in the 40's F. temperature...I was collecting water for purification and it was not very simple with all the sediment...it took hours for the stuff to settle. It was damned cold. Snow was not far above our elevation.

My front yard, mid 1990's, all my kids and me!

Cruz to be 51, celebrates 50th anyway...???

The birthday girl!

So, she was going to receive a marvelous gift from the family...a 50th birthday bash....but it came when the stars aligned, when things were practical, when it could. Yeah, almost a year gone by....but WOW!...it happened! Yes....she is STILL 50, but not on Monday (tomorrow), she turns 51. So yesterday was her official 50th bash, and tomorrow is her 51st birthday. No matter....birthday bash it was! Hilton Hotel, banquet room, etc. Great stuff....she was the guest of honor! Happy birthday Cruz....twice, even!

At the Hilton Hotel.

Opening gifts with our two oldest kids. I see a dvd playin on the screen behind her...it is full of old photos of Cruz.

Cruz, before turning 51.

Get your kicks...on Route 66!

Friday, 9/16/11, just after the show. No, I don't know who the kid is, it was just me and Allen, my neighbor at the event.

Cruising San Bernadino in a 1965 VW Notch (not my car), behind a '62 Chevy Nova. It took over one hour to do the whole downtown lap! Ever see American Grafitti?...Yes, it was all of that. We were suddenly invited to jump in and hit the road...and of course, we didn't say no!

The VW Notch as we jumped out of the car, looking back.

Allen, "Chuck Berry Duck Walk", before the show.

The Man, with a poorly used by me Nikon Coolpix L22 12 MegaPixel, on zoom from back of upper balcony in The California Theater, San Bernadino, Calif.

Chuck Berry, 3 MegaPixel cell phone camera.

I have some short vids, maybe post that later.

The biggest car show I have ever seen!

From the website:

Car buffs from all over the country gather in San Bernardino to get their “Kicks on Route 66.” The Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous is a 4-day and 3-night cruisin’ classic car show that encompasses 35-blocks of downtown. Open to vehicles from 1900-1974, classics, muscle cars, hot rods, and trucks cruise the historic streets of San Bernardino.
