this was the BEST new year... EVER! ok, like every other
year that steve and i have celebrated together... we were asleep WELL BEFORE the
new year rang in. :)
Last week i decided that i really wanted to do the tortilla
flats ride with a bunch of other Scratchers... and that meant Steve would be
home with the chil'uns. he reluctantly agreed. then... i said
"hey!! let's park at the RV park by the flats, trailer a bike... and we can
both do the twisties!!!"
GREAT IDEA!! Steve was up, rode to the top and back
before 8am! then it was my turn!
the park is wonderful. i can't say enough about it!! for
$12 we had the quietest, most restful night!
It was great seeing everyone there, this morning! i
think i see a new keith family tradition. we'll be there next year... with
our kids, our RV... and our stooooopid dog. :) (pictures below)
Pictures of the "Scratchers" were generously
provided by Bob and DJ. i forgot my camera in the motorhome!
