People started to arrive on Wednesday. I must not have unpacked my camera yet because I have no pictures. First to arrive was Hal (Redeemed). It was his first rally and he was really excited! A bit later Paul (Slots) arrived by car. Slots has had major knee surgery this summer and isn't riding yet.
Part of Scorpion~'s group arrived in the afternoon without him, it was Ron (Mongrel) and his wife Donna. Somehow they had gotten separated from Steve on the way down from Olympia. It seems Mark (White Eagle, aka Mr Peabody) had a little problem with his gas reserve tank. He didn't know how to switch to it. In all the confusion, the party got separated. Steve (Scorpion~) pulled in awhile later, with Vicki (Epibunny), Dutch, Mike (Maccs) and Mark.
Scorpion~ had been promising to make chili on Wednesday evening, and he got right to work on it. Mark made some cornbread. While this was going on, Mark pulled out some home made liquor that he had brought with him. He makes this at home (don't tell the "Revenuers") I tasted some of his "white lightening", it was pretty good. Maybe we should change his nickname to White Lightening. I heard later that Slots drank quite a bit of this hooch, but that Scorpion~ was right there with him. I guess Mark should have brought more, it didn't last the evening.
Some of us went out to dinner at the Fisherman's Grotto. While we were there, Tony D, Russ and Ken (Nickels) came in. Russ had left home early in the morning with Nickels to make a noon appointment at SCP.
The group moved to the Beach House and the party was started!
