2011 River Run Pics

Down loading pics right now. If anyone has some ready to go post 'em up!

I was running late and pulled into the UDF right at 3. No one was there. I almost freaked. Where is everyone? To be honest I never worry about numbers but I truely thought we would have 30 to 40 cars on this run. I'm not sure if it was the heat, gas prices or what but we rolled through this run with only 16 cars. Still not bad but I thought we would double or triple that. I'm not sure what everyone thought but I had fun. I'm going to post all my pics. Posting all the pics may be boring but that way anyone that wants to copy and use a picture of their car then they can.

I had to help move my brother in law last night, didnt get home till 5 this morning, then I overslept and missed the three oclock departure, so I fig I would catch up with u guys at the dairy bar, we got there at 6 about 710 it started sprinkling I didnt have my hood on, so we left it was raining at our house so we cruised down monmouth and stopped by rebs in case we had missed u all, nobody there, we cruised around a little while longer and finally got home around ten, sorry I missed you guys i dont think my car would have made it that far anyway,,

Sorry guys. I'm still working on downloading all the pics we took. Over 300. I'll post some before midnight.

Today started out great. It was good to see JohnB knocking on the door today before we took off to meet. I know it's not easy for him to drive from Carter County to hang out so anytime he gets up this way is great.
Leaving Newport with John in the rearview.

John had already told me but the first problem we had was our on ramp was closed

We made it to UDF where as I said before no one was waiting. It took about 20 minutes for a few to get there. I guess I was not the only one running late
Butch's brothers bike.

Denny was the first one there. Then little by little they poured in.

Since the ramp was closed we back track to a shaded country road that I know and took it up to the next ramp.

When we come off this back road the first thing I seen was this. This mean a lot to me. Old Glory has been flown all over the world and here in peace time and at war so we can have the freedom that some don't have. Without that we could not do the things we do such as have these runs.

We hit the highway and across the Ohio River.

We made it down to AJ's Roadhouse where Randy and a group of Late Moel Camaro guys were waiting. It was good to see these guys. Getting out with new people and having a good time is what it's all about.

Some of our crew that came from Ky wasn't with us anymore. Mike took off to see what happend. Johnny's lug nuts had backed off and he had to stop to fix them. It wasn't too long and the rest started pulling in.

As I said before I thought or was at least hoping the parking lot would have had a bunch of cars. I guess it was just too hot for some of the old cars and after we made it back I found out there were at least 3 that had car trouble trying to make this run. I hope everyone made it back home safe and sound.

We talked to the guys and gals that met us at AJ's for a few minutes then it was time to hit Scenic 52!
