[cindrrrr]

Hey Chris!
I took some pics, but their too high resolution to post. I can't figure out yet how to make them smaller/more compatible with my computer, something to do with the scanner that wont let them on.....I dont know arrgggggg

There were 4 people taking pics that I know of........lets hear their excuses now......

[Rick Parker]

I have a few that I can post later tonight. They turned out pretty good.

Look forward to seeing them Rick.
Cindy, you are temporarily excused.

Cindi must have been a Girl Scout, she was the best prepared of us all, check the contents of her trunk. Little did we know, we would need to tap into the supplies 30 minutes later. NAPA would be envious.

John Marsy was adding a little oil to his fire breathing 331" Yates headed Monster (sounded like a Winston
(yes Winston) Cup car. Good job John, you get the long distance award.

Morgan took the lead with his gorgeous Shelby CSX, he knew the roads but a rock wiped out a tire late in the day....you get the tough luck award.

Our turnaround point was about 15 miles above the lake on some of the most gorgeous Cobra roads you could imagine. No traffic at all and those Pine Trees smelled soooo good. Near 7950 Ft elevation.

I protected the rear guard with my little 289.

Well, ok. Hey Rick, I have 2 ponchos in that trunk too, but damn if I have had to use them yet....but I have them!!! Surprising how much stuff I can fit in that trunk, AND a battery too! Got to go restock the Fix-A-Flats and throw in another case of oil!!!!!

Seriously you guys that didnt make it, this road is NOT a 4x4 road that it looks like in the pics....it really was nicely paved the entire way! Incredible views of the lake, and cool air. Wow, nice change up at 8000 feet elev.

Thanks for posting them Rick!

Wow! Looks like it was a beautiful ride!

Richard and Deborah are missing from the shot in there green SPF. I headed up with them to meet everyone at Bass Lake. He had to head back early after lunch because his father went into the hospital.

That left four Cobra's for the cruise up the twisty roads above Bass Lake. I do not beleive there was one section of straight road the enite 15 miles.

My BAD for picking an area to turn around that had sticks and pine cones however there was not a whole lot of options given the area we were in.

And of course end up paying the price by getting a flat about 1 mile north of Bass Lake. Everyone jumped in to help where they could. The Good Year Eagle on the rear was toast and no amount of air was going to get it fixed with the size of hole that was in the tread. So the last and best option was to get a trailer and tow it home. John Marcy and Cindy and her son jumped into action while Rick waited with me for them to return.

When John and Cindy returned we loaded the Cobra up on the trailer and took it back to my house in Fresno. Rick jumped in his reliable slab sided cobra and headed back to Modesto.

I felt bad that John had to go really out of his way to help me out and owe all these guys big time.

This is a really good group of people and we certainly have to plan more events in the future.

I am even thinking right now of hosting a club party in the fall with a cruise to go with it. Will keep everyone posted.

I am currently out of town on business and when I return I will post the pictures that I have of the past weekend. I also know that John took some pics but is also out of town.
