For some of the folks that did not make it.

The crowds were sparse, vendors as well, but we still had BIG fun. We are sorry about many that had made plans to participate, but had last minute obligations to deal with. It was apparent that the show has shrunk. No blame at anyone, as there are a LOT of other events that conflicted. On the way home I was passed by friends that belonged to the military enthusiasts group, hot rod clubs as well as an FFA advisor that had kids participating at a statewide conference at Fresno. Add the Silva Memorial truck show at Castroville, CA you can say there was plenty to do last weekend. Maybe we will see some of you next time.

Glad to have met up with some dear friends. Even this person!

A soon to be member. Scarlette loves tractors, especially mine!

The dig area was moved closer to civilization, so we had more spectators. Not too big of an area, but we found out that many of the show committee folks have been advocating for years to bring it closer. Huge thanks from everyone, as it is within walking distance and less requirements for shuttles, EMT staff etc.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to come out.

Shout out to the folks from Paso Robles (Austin Sligh and Mikey? from ABI for bringing stuff from the museum.

Skinner and his family too. He scooped up his pristine restorations before I could get too close and claim one as mine.

Stan Brannon gets a huge thanks from the entire CAFES group, as he went beyond the dig area and helped their water truck suppress the dust.

See you at Santa Margarita perhaps? Thank you all. JM
