That's Anne and Bobby ... puling into Lake Diaz
just south of Lone Pine ... !
This is our Chapter Charter Picnic ... !
Those are the Alabama Hills ... in-between us and the Sierra Nevadas ...
in the background ...
home of Tom Mix and Hopalong Cassidy and ole cowboy friends ... !
 
 
 
That's Barb and Stan's Fifth-wheel ... their chatting with Tommie
Bob and Clint
Mike's positioning Bland's chuckwagon trailer ... under Sandra's tutelage ...
to block the stiff winds
 
 
Tommie and Clint came "camping" in style -- including Dish
 
 
Brenda came prepared to camp ... !
That's Vikki and Dwight on "Pinky"
Vikki loves a picnic ... !
Pinky got reworked ... after Dwight's accident
Billee and Bland ... with Bland on his new ride
Debbie and Chapter DirectorTracy arrive
 
Tracy brought our Eastern Sierra Chapter #166501
Charter Banner
The hope was to hang our banner from a cord between two trees ...
but the winds were so strong that it flew horizontally
 
Bobby handing out specifications for shirts
with Bobby's club patch displayed
 
Food coming out ... !
 
 
We got to improvise to display our HOG banner
 
An occasional picture shows the effects of the strong picnic winds ...
as here with Barb and their pooch Stan is holding
 
 
 
 
 
Discussing our new Harley Garmin GPS/SiriusXM system with Dennis
Billee and Bland slipping away to check out the critters on the lake

Perhaps Billee and Bland were too rowdy for the geese
YouTube video of the geese in flight (Go ... !)
 
The burgers and dogs smell great ... Mike ... !
 
 
 
Judy's hair flies in the wind ... !
 
"Diane ... what ...?"
 
 
 
Thanks ... Sandra and Mike ... for taking charge of our picnic
again this year ... and for grilling, etc. ... !
We hear rumors that Geneva and Bill may volunteer
to handle the picnic next year -- only a rumor ... ! ;)
 
Looks like Bob has chores to do at home
 
Looks like Clint's version of horse shoes is about to begin
Billee's hunkering down to compete
And compete she does ... !
Bland's taking Billee's good start a bit poorly ... !
"Breath Bland ... breath ... !"
Dennis shows how it's done with style ... !
 
Are Diane and Dino challenging each other for a game ... ?
 
Watch Stan's legwork ... ! Cool ... !
Looks like Barb's brownies are finally disappearing.
Before she cut them into pieces ... folks would lift the lid ...
see that no one had taken any ... and closed the lid.
 
Then there's Tracy's new tattoo ... that's in for repair ... !
Can you spot the dilemma ... ?

(My dad ... Don's ... built a home west of Chicago for the owner
of the Blackhawk Hockey team in the late 1940s.
I worked on that home as a kid ... and had a pair of George Gee's gloves)
 
Well ... Ms. Amy ... it's about time you and Scott showed ... !
 
 
Diane and Dennis ... wondering if the wind's blowing in Lancaster ..."
 
Mark too ... about missed out on the food ... !
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Into the wind ... !
 
 
"I'm starving ... !"
"Where's the food ... Judy ... ?"
"Sandra ... where's the food ... ?"
"Let's see what we can do for you ... Wade ... ?"
"Oh ... Bobby took the left-over hamburgers for their pooch ... ?"
"Pooch food ... my ass ... Bobby ... !"
 
Phew ... that could have gotten ugly ... !
 
 
 
 
 
"Would you believe that ... ?"
"Honest ... Anne ... I'm this tall ... !"
 
Bobby's patch on Bobby's t-shirt ... ! Really cool ... !
 
 
 
 
 
 
One-by-one or two-by-two ... folks are haveing enough of the wind
 
Diane and Dino
 
Bland ... !
Billee ... too ... !
Actually ... I think Billee and Bland were riding to Beatty for the night ...
with maybe Vikki and Dwight tagging along ... !
Barb saving the rest of her brownies for Stan
Anne and Bobby

As usual ... Wade does more than his share.

Brenda was a bit disappointed that no one was staying to camp ...
she'd really planned on it ... sigh
 
Our desert views are too precious for words ... ! ;)
 
 
 
That's Amy and Scott in their PT Cruiser ... passing us
And this's the way our Chapter Charter Picnic went ... ! ;)
