Eagles Spotted in Abilene TX

Post by Dreamscape »

Got a call from a local bus nut buddy and he said there were a couple of Eagles sitting at the Howard Johnson, so I grab my camera, notepad and head over there to check out who it is. I get there and jump out of my car and guess what, dead rechargeable camera batteries! At this point I'm not very happy as they have only held a charge for 15 minutes. Sam's was next door so I hop back in the car and go get some.

I left a note on the windshield of one of them, I think they are a band of some sort. They had super tough looking bay locks, kinda like Fort Knox. :roll:

Clifford, If anyone should know I knew it would be you! Very interesting history, if these Eagles could only talk, the stories they could tell! ;)
