So far we have 3 intrepid ST's in the parking lot with one more expected in within the hour. YEAH!

Dana & Vickie made it (they decided to NOT stop in Tucson after all)
Nick (NoBull) is here from Denver
Obviously, I'm here :)
John Gardner is expected in around 11:30 p.m.

Turned out to be a beautiful day in Southern Arizona and New Mexico. We're planning on joining up for breakfast and then doing some exploring. The sunset was STUNNING! Looked like one of FineWest's (Fred) photos. If Fred were the dis-organizer, you'd have a photo to go with this posting but since it's me, you'll just have to imagine the golden sunlight melting into the horizon and glinting off the mountains as the clouds become saturated with pinks and plums and russet and lavender. BTW, red at night, sailors' delight (it was a gorgeous red sunset so maybe it will be nice tomorrow after all).

Looking forward to getting the fabulous Western Banner hung up to welcome folks as they come in. We'll get that squared away in the morning and then run a few errands to put together the evening's hot-dog BBQ.

More later -

Wish you were here!

Raven, sorry I could not make it this year, but I think the pictures I posted more than tell the story. My street is still a skating rink.

Y'all have a great safe time & be careful on the track. I too am very sorry to miss this one. As I type this my Trusty Steed is bleeding it's life's blood on my garage floor in the form of little green coolant dots ...... After 5 years & 63K miles, she decides to cry a little. The plastic comes off tomorrow!

Thanks for putting this together, Raven. I had a great time riding the Gila today (although the ride home in freezing rain was sub-optimal :(
Good luck with the rest of the weekend!
