Kernville was a blast!

No - it wasn't a "typical" Manx Club Event - but so what?! It was fun and the area was beautiful and the weather was gorgeous! Oh - and the world DID NOT END on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. as prophetized (is that a word?), but if it had, we would have been having fun when we were plucked away into never never land.
Thanks, Bob - and any others who helped organize this run! We were the only buggistas in Camp James, but we shared a wonderful campground with "Sisters on the Fly" - lady flyfisher"men" who travel around in the cutest little vintage trailers. Some pictures of Camp James, the trailers, the run and the river are in Photobucket - check them out if you want - much easier than uploading to the website. http://s735.photobucket.com/albums/ww352/PRINCIPIAB/Kernville%20Run%20-%20May%202011/?start=all
The wind was HOWLING on the way back through Red Rock / Jawbone area - wowie! We pulled over for awhile and took a break. We also found an alternate route so we could avoid the worst of W/B Hwy 14. We exited on Santiago Road and took the Sierra Hwy to Golden Valley Road. One stop sign and one light until you hit Bouquet Canyon, then a few until you get to the 126 - but you avoid that nasty downhill run on Hwy 14 & avoid Hwy 5 completely! (If you're traveling into Ventura County.) Just a thought for next time you're coming back from Mojave area.
Anyway - thanks again to the organizers and enjoyed meeting more buggy enthusiasts!
