4 States n' 4 Nites

I lead the initial leg of this ride, with Craig on the CB radio as my wingman and Bob and Dana as tail gunners.

The radios came in handy throughout the 5-day venture. I was very glad we had them on a number of occasions. Thanks to Steve, Craig, Mark, Dana and Sparky for bringing them along! I was also surprised that my cell phone (Cingular) also performed well through out the five days.

Our first leg of the ride was from Simi to Colton, it was an all slab ride- when we get to Colton we stopped for gas and picked up Joe on his Harley. According to Joe (Springer Joe) he sat there in the gas station as we rode in wondering to himself, who are these people and what the heck am I doing riding 1500 miles with them? He had no regrets after the first day.
