Default Run To Jacumba

...yesterday...think we doubled population of Jacumba,Ca with over 40 vettes...we had lunch at the Jacumba Spa & Resort...



Friendly chat with local sheriff...our exhaust must have woke him up...


What you see in this pic is the whole town...!!!!




It was the cooks birthday,so my bud took him for a little "spin" in his yellow C5...

The rest of us in the East are jealous. I got out for a ten minute ride at noon. Froze my butt off. 40 degrees and 35 mph winds, raw and cold. Our time's coming! Lokks like you had a great time. Thanks for the inspiring pics!

Rich...you're making me miss the high desert man! As I've shared before, I spent several years in the Stumps.

BTW, it was 28 Friggin degrees today in North Alabama...on Easter Sunday. Oh the tragedy of my wife and daughters in pretty Easter dresses and heavy coats!
