I drove some 300+ miles today enroute to the BBQ. First I drove back roads through the foothills to the west of home to San Juan Baptista to possibly pick up a VW Thing frame. I bought it but determined it was too large a load for my truck. That was about 140 miles. Then from there to Tims was another 160 miles. That was a much lager day than I had imagined. The lad pics are of the road through the hills, the church near Hollister, CA, the view from the hill where the frame is. I arrived at Tims around 8:30, 12 hours after leaving home.

well....if it is any consolation, there is a remote brat burn going on in Elko complete with potato salad and BBQ'd beans.....you folks enjoy, I know I will...and while I am not wrenching on an old Mopar, I am making some progress in the shop on another car.  So while not there, am in the spirit of your outing.

From the looks of things, had I been there the photographer would have had to switch from a wide-angle lens to a panoramic lens :lol:.  Genetics, father time, good food and old Mopars seem to be having the same effect on the majority of us.

I did a very quick count by twos just before the group broke up. I stoped a 56, so very possibly 70 + attendees. Names with faces?  God! Since He can number the stars, He should be capable. 

 

Quick pictoral of my week end: barn back road drive, San Juan Baptista = 150 miles; Clements BBQ = add 150 miles; home, night scene, = add 145 miles.  Great weak end!

Thanks to everyone at the picnic for such a great day.  I had a wonderful day, and met so many nice people.  I enjoyed the BBQ a great deal, an amazing amount of wonderful food.  Thanks for all the help unloading and loading Dolly.  I will post more pictures, but first I have to reduce thier size and will do that tomorrow.  Dolly and I left Bishop at 3:15 AM and got home at 8:30 PM, it was a grand day.  Dolly loves her trophy!

It was great to see DollyDodge at the bbq. It was inspiring to see the meticulous effort used in preserving such a beautiful old truck (and just a couple more payments befor it’s his). I hope he will make the effort to make the trip again. If not, maybe a trip to Bishop and a night at the hotel Winnedumah in Independence.

It is so nice to see all the trucks together, I love going to a car show here in my home town......There will be six or seven 50’s Chevy/Fords.......but I am always the only Dodge around.

I think 48D got a little bored after the BBQ was over a gave a few of us a ride in his truck...... he would probably still be driving if he hadn't ran out of gas. LOL

 

sure was fun, then he gave GGdad1951 a ride

 

 

thanks again 48D and bride! you sure know to make everyone feel welcome and at home.

Uh oh...is that a tow truck in the "night scene" photo? 

 

Looks like you were on highway 25 on the way to Hollister... Looks familiar to me, especially the one lane portion. That's a beautiful drive.
