The Pitman Motorcyle Gang















We went with Greg and Margot to the car show at Gunnison on Saturday and ended up in Leadville on Sunday where we spent the night at the Delaware which is haunted. Lynn planned a beautiful trip driving over Heaven Pass as we call it. Fun places like Paonia, Redstone, and Aspen. We like to stop at old bars to talk to the locals. Greg had a problem with his chain, but between the two Pitman Brothers it was fixed.
That's a picture of Margot. Greg needs to hang on to her. She's fun to be with and love the motorcycle. Black Canyon of the Gunnison is the scenic picture. Great Time!

Silly Lynn
Lynn planned a wonderful trip on the motorcycle. Part of the reason for the time of year was that I would have been going back to school , but wasn't cause I am retired. Also I wanted to see the action at Sturgis MotorCycle Rally. We went for 8 days through South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and of course Colorado. The weather was mostly warm with some cold mornings where we had all of our riding clothes on. We stayed in Sturgis for an afternoon and saw some wierd people. Our favorite part was the ride along the Green River. The ride over Bear Claw was beautiful, but cold and scarey cause the road was very narrow, gravelly, and in need of repair. Lynn was very tense driving. There were white posts along the road showing where there had been fatal wrecks. I can't believe people whould walk around with painted on clothes in Sturgis!



The picture of Lynn and the sexy girl is from the Full Throttle Bar which is the biggest biker bar in the world. It's about 5 acres with most of it outside with wierd things like a bus upside down and 2 old bridges. The seating is old couches and chairs. We wished we had planned more days and gone to Canada since we got passports last year. It's another trip. We can cross Sturgis off of our Bucket List. The picture of the black rocks is from Craters of the Moon National Park which is a Cinder Cone activity area. Don't I look like a biker chick in my all black? I really appreciate Lynn planning all of this for us. I am sooooo lucky so back off you women.

Oh no Tattoos











Well, Robben finally convinced her dad to get a tattoo aand because I couldn't help myself, I did too. Lynn got Popeye since he was in the navy and he's seems to be like the famous character. I go Olive Oyl cause we have the same great fashion sense and we love our guys. I think that we are truely in our second teenage hood as Robben is firmly convinced of. Oh and by the way, it hurts. We are going to the Sturgis Motorcycle rally so we had to fit in with the Harley people.

Pictures from Lynn and Greg's trip






I love the smile. Nice glasses.

Houston











Robben and I went to Houston to see the Lopezes. The hurricane delayed our flight, but we got there. We had a ball. Forever Plaid was a great stage play along with Mamma Mia movie. (Maggie and I want to kiss Pierce Brosnan) Shopping and pedicures! Of course the plane was delayed going back. And then I forgot where I parked my car. Finally got home at 12:30 and was wide awake. Lucky Lynn. Speaking of Lynn, he and Greg went on a trip to Crested Butte on their dirt bikes which he says was a lot of fun. Kimo was the only one who didn't have any fun. He was so sad when I got home.
Can you guess which are Steve's feet? The red shoes? Hee Hee

Redstone Inn, Colorado







We took a motorcycle trip to the Redstone Inn in Redstone. The hotel was built in 1874 for the unmarried steel miners. The married miners lived in the one street town in row houses. Of course it's haunted by a lady in yellow. We didn't see her. Rats
