August 2011 Day Run Through Malibu
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 5:16 am
I want to thank everyone who was able to make our run. We had a great time with six buggies and a convertible Mustang. Everyone made it through the varied terrain without much problem. No breakdowns, only one wrong turn (sorry… I was too busy looking at the beautiful scenery and not the sign…) and no one got overly car sick (Did I mention it was very windey?!). We missed seeing the zebra and the camel, but did see the little shetland ponies (No, we didn't see any monkeys on the side of the road this time either…). We only had a couple of issues with the motorcycle riders. We actually had to be more careful around the numerous bicycle riders. I can't see how it's any fun being on a bike to trudge all the way up that loooong steep windey hill, only to have to worry about getting run over from behind while going down the other side. The weather was cool while we were by the beach, but as soon as we headed inland, the sun came out, and the temp was very comfortable. As we approached the Rock Store, there was a bend in the road on Mulholland Hwy called "The Snake," where a professional photographer was positioned to take shots of the fancy vehicles driving by. When we got to the Rock Store, there were hundreds of motorcycles all jockeying for a good space to view the rest of the group (and three Sheriff's Deputies trying to keep a handle on them…). Once we got home, the potluck was outstanding! And a few of us even got into the pool (farmer's tan and all!). And to top it all off, several vintage WW II aircraft circled overhead from the near-by Camarillo Airport Air Show. All in all, just a great day. I couldn't ask for anything better!
