JB’s is a nice restaurant and they said they would cater to us as a large group and keep and area available for us. I know the “Coffee Pot Restaurant” is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants, but the wait on a Saturday is usually 45 minutes for more and they do not do large groups in primetime.

Maybe 5 trucks and 10 fanatics! Looks like Robert and Elaine ( ICBlue ) may join us for breakfast in Banning and the Phoenix lunch.
9:30 p.m. - We are loaded and ready to go except for the last bag.
Wish the rest of you SoCal fanatics were joining us. I feel like a big chunk of my family is missing.
Went out this morning to a flat rear tire. Bill put air in it and went to the tire store...They found a nail in the sidewall...They say it can't be repaired...
but I called Doug and he loaned us one so we can make this trip....
We can talk in Sedona! I have a complete set of wheels & tires and will discuss with Jim (he is playing golf right now)..... but I'm sure we would be willing to sell you one of the rear tires.
We'd like to give a
GREAT BIG THANK YOU
to the Hosts Elaine & Duane, "Big Wave" for opening their Home, and Town to us.
What a fantastic day yesterday, and wonderful people to share it with.
My SSR: Striping by Fairfield, Confidence by Mike in AZ
The meet & greet at the Gallery was very inspiring. The visuals just set the pace for the next two days. It was the anticipation of seeing Sedona just as Duane & Eileen have "Captured" in thier fabulous prints !
A Great photo is "capturing one moment in time to share with everyone forever"..... I have been in one Gallery that is packed to the brim!
The Bigwaves have a beautiful home and a piece of Paradise just outback.
Just the perfect place to relax and chat with so many friends.

WOW....................what a fabulous weekend. The weather was super, the scenery was gorgeous and our fanatic friends were a blast. All the events, activites, runs and reservations were so organized and the details were planned with such care and forethought. Not only do Duane and Elaine deserve a big hug, but their son (Rob) and his in-laws, plus Elaine's girlfriend worked so hard to make sure everything went smoothly. The BBQ party was certainly special and your newly landscaped backyard was fantastic. Also, thank you for the beautiful matted photo of the red rock formations and Oak Creek river that were given to each of us. Mine will be framed and up on our wall and will certainly remind us of this outstanding weekend.
A big thank you.....................Lloyd and Gerry

Deborah and I certainly want to weigh in and express our heartfelt thanks to Duane, Elaine, their son, Rob, and the support crew. You guys did an amazing "fanatic" job. The entire weekend was an absolute reflection of the very special people you are in every way. We treasure your friendship. As usual, their were new friendships begun and others deepened. I know I keep saying it, but I just can't believe the life long and life changing friendships that have begun because of buying this little "hot rod" pickup. See "ya'll" in Penticton and Durango.
SSR Permigrin 4 Years and still going!
