For the Month of May we had a camp out at the Bodega Dunes Camp grounds
at the Sonoma Coast State Beach, I must confess I have had a lot camp outs
that were much better than this one was. The camp sites were fine and the
riding was wonderful once you got away from the coast.
The camp out was attended by myself, Bob Webb, Tom &Lori Hite and
their daughter Ashley, Frank Boyer, Don & Doris Brubaker, Rex &
DannettWoodruff, Dale Bird, Stuart Bowen, and we had some guest, George
Donnely from Salinas, Larry & Dorine Kirkes from Fowler Ca, members
of the Golden State Riders.
The weather was awfull, it was overcast and cold all weekend, the mosquitos
about ate us up. But we had two good rides, I took them all out on Saturday,
we all toured the fort at Fort Ross, and then we rode up through the mountains
where the sun was shining, we wound our way around through the mountains
and headed south. We wound up in a little town called Occidental where Stuart
assured us we could get a very good Italian meal, he was right the food
was wonderful.
On Sunday Larry led some of us up the coast to Ft Bragg, we had lunch
there, then headed south to Mendocino where we picked up hwy 128 and rode
south east through the coastal red woods, beautiful scenery. We came out
onto hwy 101 just north of Santa Rosa, went south to hwy 12 , and headed
west again on 12 and back to our camp site.
Some of the members had to leave on Sunday, the rest stayed over until
Monday, the ride home was very nice, nice & warm and not near as much
traffic as we had expected.
We didn't hold a meeting at this camp out, because we really didn't have
anything to discuss at this particular time, and the tee shirts were behind
schedule, but we had a promise of delivery before June 4.
That about covers everything up through the end of May.
