RAG HOG Picnic at Lake Diaz

Posted: 22 September 2007

[home | officers | calendar of events | HOG quick links]
Our camping & picnicing destination...
Lake Diaz...just south of Lone Pine, CA...
70 miles north of Ridgecrest
Below are some camping rigs...
The club's Saturday morning golfing session didn't go as planned!
There was a tournament going on at the Lone Pine golf course...
that we weren't told about when we called for reservations.
So...our golfers did the best they could...
on the putting green and driving range!
Debbie and Susan...setting the picnic party mood!... ;-)
Now just how are we guys suppose to do that...
with you biker babes misbehaving?... ;-)
Then there's Bad Bobby -- CENSORED! ;-)
Meanwhile...new member Lee and Debbie, and Joe, and Judy and I...
rode up to Lake Diaz via Trona, Panamint Springs...
and the east side of Owens Lake
And when Judy and I got there...daughter Heidi, son-in-law Stephen...
and granddaughters Haley and Hanna were there waiting.
They'd left Ridgecrest at 7 AM in 55-deg weather...
to ride their Harleys up to the Bristlecone Pines in the
White Mountains east of Big Pine.
Mike Moore...who's known Heidi for years...
pointed out that you don't often see a woman riding two-up --
like Heidi and daughter Hanna!
Haley, Heidi, Hanna, Cheryl and Wade (the chef)
Son-in-law Stephen Farmer rides a Wide Glide
Susan...the ole corn bread eater!
Not everybody enjoying the picnic is stuck with two legs! ;-)
Wade...beginning the drawings!
Dwight, Cheryl and Vikki relaxing.
Dwight again was good enough to the make
arrangements for the Lake Diaz camp sites...
Clint got us hooked on his game of "Red Neck Horse Shoes"...
played with washers and a wooden box with a bucket in it!
This is what happens when you give a camera to Robert!... ;-)
Oh oh...caught again! Tee hee...

Josh (and Wade) showing us some Navy/Marine dice games:
Ship, Captain, Sailor...something-or-others....

Deb and Jim, Debbie and Les and Joe arrive in time to eat....

It's not the most flattering picture of Cheryl...
but it shows the "Cheeze Whiz" she and Josh are sharing!
YUCK!!!!!... ;-(

There's Lake Diaz...the source of all the night-visiting raccoons!...
As Judy and I were leaving the picnic...
up the road a mile or so...Joe's bike was broken down
-- wouldn't turn over.
They'd lifted the tank, etc. looking for broken wires.
We tried to push start Joe's bike down hill...against the traffic...
...only to be caught immediately by the HighWay Patrol!!!! SIGH!...
The officer was very polite and understanding...
wanting to be sure we had water...and a plan.
The plan was to move the bike back to the campsite...
and wait for Jim to return with his motorhome and lift.
THE END!
