Lake Isabella and the Kern River Canyon

Hi - For reasons beyond my control this Ride Campout has been [SIZE=36pt]Cancelled[/SIZE]

However, I am leaving these photos here in case we try again next Spring!

Let's do this.

I'm getting ready to split on out of Spartanburg in just hours, but I'm looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone in October!

Ooh, I'm off that weekend!

George, this is a "likely likely" for me, though I'll not yet commit.

You know, a leisurely ride up into Nevada, and then all the way down on 395, in the early fall -

well that sounds very relaxing. Maybe a midnight run across Death Valley ....

(And count me among those who regrets not getting the chance to visit with you in Idaho.)

Well, I guess I will. I reserved a spot at the Fairview campground for Friday and Saturday nights.

Richard and Bill: You two are going to have to make a decision between 'A': Big-chested biker babes at the bike wash down on the Vegas strip, unlimited drinking and gambling, delicious food and swim up bars, and the strip clubs on Flamingo Road.

Or Fairlaner and djbill, do you choose 'B': This's George wearing a tank top and cut off Levi's floating on an inner tube down the Kern River, playing pinochle with Rudy at a picnic table and dining on hot dogs that Bob has burnt over their camp fire!

KJ, I want to but will be working - it sounds like a BUNCH of fun!

Doun Don (aka Chui Medina the Burrito Ballerina = a Zonie Homie)

Here is some info to explain to you the 2 items that you make mention of above;

The history of the bathing suit;

BTW, I am a surfer dude...I only wear baggies made by OP and I stand when I float tube.

Pinochle described here;

The game of Pinocle IS quite exhilerating, just ask anybody who hangs with any local group of wise guys!

...and lastly, Johnny McNally's Steakhouse (home of the 40 oz. steak) will beat out the hot dogs by the fire any day.

You should join us Don! :yahoo:

I might be interested in you don't mind a few FZ1's and a BMW up there?

It would be great to meet some more riders!

This looks like a good opportunity for Gathering of the Clans. Wasn't it just about this time last year?

The map shows some great roads that I've been wanting to ride.

This looks like fun!

Which campsite is that a picture of? I got #17

How many tents can fit in each site?

Do ya think Richard will send us pizza from Vegas?

Fine by me!

I so wish I could be there-

Folks, KJ puts on a great party/ride/location event.

You should go if you have the opportunity, just sayin'...

Thanks Don, I'll cover YOUR campsite $$$ if you up to share the one that Rudy and I reserved. Now all you need to come up with is gas money and a way to pack a tent, bag etc. on the Wee Strom.

Thanks KJ, but I'll be working Diablo graveyards.. making $ to pay off my bills - it's a nightmare. I simply can't go, but Thank You for the most generous offer.

Oh, I think "this" would be a good place for a clan gathering myself!

The campsite pictured is # 49

I don't "think" they allow over 4 tents per site?

Pizza... delivered from Vegas? I doubt it (the tip $$$ would be astronomical).... so don't send one Richard.

I have No problem if FZ1/Beemer guys join us for some camping/riding? How is it that you are on this list "bigwhited"?

Hey, I recognize that camp trip. Lots of fun and great steakhouse- one of the best. Have a blast.
