The last time Joe led a big ride was on the way to CBR, well he was day dreaming along and we ended up 3 1/2 hours out of the way on that ride....well our friend Hotglue had me deliver a gift to Joe for this ride...that gift was compass....when I give it to Joe he smiled and said "Ya know, I know how to use one of these things" so here's what I learned......
Smokin'jo does know how to use a compass, because we didn't get lost once and never had to make a u-turn
I learned that Britman never misses a photo op and has excellent hearing when he cups his hand behind his ear...
I learned that Joe can climb all the way to the top of that treehouse and ring the pipe bells in the tower....and the last 25 ft. is over a elevator shaft that drops 8 stories....
I learned that more then half of the riders on this ride were interested in the Russell Day Long Saddle....
I learned that prison guards are ok guys....this one...the guy on the left with the black ball cap.....took our group picture for us...just before he took the photo he yelled "Everybody yell, I didn't do it"
last but not least I learned that Big Al...the man in the center in black...made a special effort to come down and greet everyone going on the ride, even though doctors told no ride for you....of course he drove his pick-up to comply with the doc's orders....went out the next day and took photo's of us folks having fun....thanks Al and good to see ya again.
