Default Mystery Tour?

Hmmm. Nah. Clue (airborne apparatus points to Tankers.

Either #72/73 up north, near Bambi's World Famous Biscuits & Gravy, at Hangar One;
or #70/71 down south near Bowl Weevil's Famous half pound Steerburger on the 67.

Either destination would be great; but like the Chinese cookie insert says "it ain't the destination, it's the journey".

Sparky and Pat ALWAYS put on Fantastic Journeys!

See ya there!




CAL FIRE # 70 working hard near my home in Escondido. May14, 2014. These guys are GREAT! THANKS!

Cool. I expect we have more fun doing these than those in a gaggle of McLarens, porsches, lambos and one C7 spotted on a dip-ridden highway near 29 Palms yesterday, while returning from N. AZ. in the ML430.

I did that route from Havasu last month. That's fun, almost going airborne on those flood control dips. Is that the "airborne" ufso's talking about? Airborne McLarens?

Gosh, the other side of the mild mannered engineer! Were you alone in the car?
Spousal unit was dozing off and I was going for mpg and no tix! Not sure how cool it'd be with a 6000# ML airborne!

Mike, you just need a McLaren!

(On second thought, ufso would probably let the air out of your tires if you showed up with one of those things.)

Umm, maybe not!

I've taken an 18 wheeler aloft that weighed over 400 tons... but it had wings and 4 Pratt and Whitneys!

For those of you who don't know Mike, he is a retired 747 pilot. (Get it? His plane is called a "whale", and his Japanese friends can't pronounce "pilot". He flew to Japan a lot!)

Also, let me salute my military compatriots on this Veterans Day! Thanks, guys!

Got to thinking about this cruise being on a holiday weekend. Probably be easy traffic early Sunday morning but the cruise back to Orange County could be a drag with returning holiday traffic.
I may have to rethink this one especially with a manual tranny car.

Maybe I can find an automatic for you to drive, or find a Chiropractor to help you with your left leg when the run is over.:

Thinking of the return from Sedona with an AT SUV.

Should be OK as long as you start back before 3:00
