Winter At Agua Caliente CA.

Wow, a nice line up of old Beemers. They range from the early to mid 70's. It is a lot of fun to look at the old bikes as each one has its' own personality. All were ridden to the rally. No trailer queens here. There were 4 "Toaster " models, two of which were ours. Nice climate for New Years eve. Over the 12 years we have attended this gathering we have had rain twice. Just small showers that rolled through. We had a couple of real windy days. This area is like an island in the storm most years. The mountains around the site seem to protect the area from most storms passing through.

Pretty rough schedule to keep up with also. Scott brought out a three wheeler bicycle this year. It functioned more as a chair than a mode of transportation. Bill S. is pictured with his ever present flask of some unknown combustible liquid. Sarah sits next to
Greta, Darians' bike. Greta has made the trip many times. We have been forced to bring other modes of transportation a few times due to circumstances beyond our control.

Steve is checking out the hammock at my brother in laws camp site this year. The hammock was a popular destination. The crew fed us all weekend (as they do each year) with a variety of cuisines. Several kegs of local S.C. micro brews were present to wash down any dust.

Darian returning from a trip to the hot springs pool. The site features a natural hot springs pool. The first years the pool was covered by an old dilapidated Quonset hut in disrepair. A few years ago they built a new building around the pool. We look forward to riding over this year in the side car rig.
