What a weekend! Spring in the mountains, with sunshine & greasy food. Arts, craft, bands everywhere & the all the new cars in front of the pub. Drum circles, off-roading, dinners & new friends, & nature. The 25th annual Lilac Festival was great this year.
Bob & Mike gathered up 10 new autos from Bako Motor City. They needed transport drivers for these new cars. Yipee, let's do it. We rounded up a bunch of neighbors & friends, shuttled everyone down the hill on Friday @ noon & drove them back up on a sunny gorgeous day. Mike had reserved the Pontiac Solstice for me. Red, Sweet!
The dealership vendor booth was located at the front of the festival, along the main drag & many stopped by. The booth was my Total Escape screen room, with white draping & purple flowers as accents. Thanks to the big bricks from Solar Bill, it did not blow away. Monday, all the cars had to go back down to the dealership & we all ate Mexican food.
In between all this wild activity with the new cars, (& the new baby) I still got to enjoy:
Jenny's company...
some of the booths at the festival...
the post office...
2 meals at the Bear Cafe
2 great drum circles...
1 mighty yummy BBQ meal...
1 potluck with LA Remo folks...
1 off-road trip to Santa Barbara Canyon, all the way up (to the Cuyama Peak lookout tower.) That road is nearly a 4x4 route now, challenging at 40-60 mph, but I had a very experienced race driver with me. On Quatal we caught air several times & my Amigo did not even break. Yet.
